Rare gases are a general term for gases such as helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn). In the past, people believed that these gases did not react with other substances, so they were also called "inert gases."
In fact, although these gases do not account for a high proportion in the air, they are indispensable in our modern life. In this issue, Jiayuan will talk about their common uses.
1.As protective gas
Iridium, the nuclear fuel of nuclear reactors, which oxidizes rapidly in the air, also needs to be machined under the protection of argon.
In order to extend the service life of the light bulb, adding argon gas into the light bulb can reduce the evaporation of the tungsten filament and prevent the tungsten filament from oxidation.

Rare gases emit light of different colors when electricity is applied. The world's first neon light was made of neon. The red light emitted by neon has strong transmittance in the air and can pass through thick fog. Therefore, neon lights are often used as beacons in airports, ports, and water and land transportation routes. Argon or helium is filled into the tube, which emits light of light blue or light red when electricity is applied. Filling a mixture of helium, neon, and argon with different contents into the tube can make colorful neon lights.The commonly used fluorescent lamp is made by filling a small amount of mercury and argon gas in the lamp tube and applying fluorescent material (such as calcium halophosphate) on the inner wall. When the power is turned on, the discharge of mercury vapor generates ultraviolet rays in the tube, which stimulates the fluorescent material to emit visible light similar to sunlight, so it is also called a fluorescent lamp.When powered on, a high-voltage long-arc lamp filled with xenon can emit strong light that is tens of thousands times stronger than a fluorescent lamp. Therefore, it is called an "artificial little sun" and can be used for squares, stadiums, airports and other lighting. Neon lights, krypton gas, and xenon gas can also be used in laser technology.
Xenon lamps have high ultraviolet radiation and are used in medical technology. Xenon gas dissolves in cell oil, causing cell anesthesia and swelling, thereby temporarily stopping the action of nerve endings and achieving anesthesia. As an anesthetic without side effects, people have tried a mixture of 80% xenon and 20% oxygen.Isotopes of krypton and xenon are also used to measure cerebral blood flow, etc.
Helium and oxygen are mixed into artificial air, which divers can breathe. Because in the deep sea with greater pressure, if you breathe with ordinary air, more nitrogen will be dissolved in the blood. When the diver rises from the deep sea and gradually restores the normal pressure in the body, the nitrogen dissolved in the blood should be released to form bubbles, blocking the microvessels and causing "gas stasis". The solubility of helium in the blood is much lower than that of nitrogen. If the above phenomenon does not occur, but the ordinary air is replaced by a mixture of helium and oxygen (artificial air).
Helium is the lightest gas besides hydrogen. Hydrogen is flammable and explosive, while helium is a colorless, odorless, inert gas. It is chemically inactive. Generally speaking, it is difficult to react with other substances. Helium has been used to fill balloons and airships instead of hydrogen.
Helium-neon laser is one of them. Helium-neon mixed gas is sealed in a special quartz tube. Under the encouragement of an external high-frequency oscillator, inelastic collisions occur between atoms of the mixed gas, and energy transfer occurs between the stimulated atoms, resulting in electronic transitions and emitting stimulated radiation waves and near-infrared light corresponding to the transitions. Helium-neon lasers can be used for measurement and communication.
The boiling point of liquid helium is -269℃, which is the most difficult to liquefy of all gases. Using liquid helium, ultra-low temperatures close to absolute zero (-273.15℃) can be achieved. Liquid helium is an ordinary liquid with the properties of ordinary liquids. Liquid helium below 2.2 thousand is a superfluid with many abnormal properties. For example, it has superconductivity and low viscosity. Its viscosity is 1% of the viscosity of hydrogen. Liquid helium can flow upward along the inner wall of the container and then slowly flow along the outer wall of the container. This phenomenon is of great significance to the research and verification of quantum theory.
In today's era of rapid technological development, rare gases have been widely used in many fields due to their unique and excellent properties. Whether in the lighting industry, they provide us with bright and energy-saving light sources; or in the electronic chip manufacturing process, they serve as key protective gases and etching gases to help produce high-precision chips; or in the medical field, they play an indispensable role in specific diagnostic and treatment methods; and in high-end technological frontiers such as aerospace, they provide guarantees for the stable operation of various precision instruments and equipment.

The company's products are widely used in cutting-edge fields such as precision manufacturing cleaning, electronic heat dissipation and cooling, new energy, and semiconductor testing, and the company is committed to providing global customers with high-performance, low-environmental-impact fluorochemical solutions.Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on the fluorochemical industry chain, promote the technological iteration and industrialization of green fluorosolvents, and contribute to the sustainable development of the industry.Boric acid-10B (https://www.jy-chemical.com/boron-10-product/) and its related isotopic materials are, under the rapid development of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), gradually transitioning from traditional research use toward core materials in clinical oncology applications. As precision cancer treatment technologies continue to advance, BNCT is being increasingly applied in the treatment of various refractory tumors. Against this background of clinical expansion and potential commercialization, a key question arises: what is the actual demand scale for Boric acid-10B?1. Supply Status and Industrial Constraints of High-Enrichment Boron-10High-enrichment boron-10 is primarily produced through isotope separation technologies, which are highly complex, capital-intensive, and demand strict operational stability. Medical-grade materials not only require high isotopic enrichment but also stringent control over impurity levels and batch-to-batch consistency. Continuous technological accumulation in high-purity materials and fine chemicals enables Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical to provide a certain level of industrial support and supply chain capability for related advanced material applications.2. Demand Estimation Logic Driven by Clinical Expansion of BNCTConsidering losses during drug synthesis and in vivo metabolism (assuming an effective utilization rate of 60%), each patient requires approximately 2 g of high-enrichment Boric acid-10B (isotopic enrichment ≥96%). A mature BNCT treatment center handling around 500 patients annually would therefore require about 1 kg per year. If 100 such centers are established domestically, the annual demand would reach approximately 200 kg, significantly exceeding current isotope separation capacity. At the same time, as a medical treatment modality, BNCT imposes extremely high requirements on raw material enrichment, chemical purity, and supply chain stability. Based on per-center treatment scale expansion, under different penetration scenarios, overall demand is expected to exhibit a strong nonlinear growth pattern, characterized by “clinical expansion-driven stepwise scaling”. 3. Industrial Chain Impact and Future Demand TrendsFrom upstream boron resources to high-enrichment isotope separation and further into medical formulation systems, the BNCT industrial chain presents substantial technological barriers. As clinical applications continue to expand, supply-side requirements for stability and continuous delivery will further intensify. Boric acid-10B is expected to gradually evolve from a research-grade material into a strategically important medical-grade foundational material. During this transition, material purification capabilities and customized supply capabilities of industry participants will become key competitive factors, and the market is likely to shift from a low-volume, high-barrier stage toward a steady growth trajectory.4. ConclusionThe continued advancement of BNCT therapy is reshaping the demand structure for Boric acid-10B and related boron isotope materials, with its application value rapidly extending from fundamental research to high-end medical use. Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical will continue to focus on the development opportunities in high-purity materials and specialty chemicals. We look forward to collaborating with downstream boron drug developers, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare institutions to jointly explore broader application and supply chain cooperation opportunities for BNCT - related materials.
