The process describes the production of pure xenon and krypton deriven from a crude concentrate from a cryogenic air separation process. As products only gaseous xenon and gaseous krypton were considered. Oxygen that is used as carrier material and returned to the air separation process is not considered. The allocation factors were calculated from the sales price of xenon and krypton in Europe in the year 1998. The ressources xenon, krypton were allocated to 100% to the corresponing product.
