Removal of hydrogen and methane from argon

[GhazaliSyed]

Does any one know if we can remove Hydrogen and methane by the means of wet scrubber from Argon.
Thanks

I would guess that your best bet would be to raise the pressure up until the argon condensed and you could bleed off the liquid. The other choice would be a membrane but you would have to look around to find one for your application.

This would be a bit complex but you could take your gas stream and combust it. You'd get water and CO2 which you could remove in a pH controlled wet scrubber.

Since H2 boils at -430, CH4 -258 and Ar -302, seperating would be tough via cryogenics. Your best bet is mole sieves or a membrane.

Thank you all for your replies.
I am now looking at membrane separation for the purpose.
