Abstract
An adsorbent comprising a zeolite having a pore diameter of not less than 4.5 angstroms and not more than 7.3 angstroms as a principal component, which can adsorb xenon under ordinary temperatures and pressures or under ordinary temperatures and low xenon partial pressure, is used. In the xenon recovery method of the present invention, the adsorbent is communicated with a xenon-containing equipment, and xenon is adsorbed on the adsorbent and xenon is detached from the adsorbent. Thereby, xenon can be recovered, with efficiency, directly from used equipment in which xenon is enclosed under ordinary temperatures and pressures or under ordinary temperatures and low xenon partial pressure.
