Imboni yamagesi akhethekile emhlabeni idlule ezilingweni nasezinkingeni ezimbalwa ezinyangeni ezedlule. Imboni iyaqhubeka nokuba ngaphansi kwengcindezi ekhulayo, kusukela ekukhathazekeni okuqhubekayo phezui-heliumukukhiqizwa kwenkinga ye-chip ye-elekthronikhi engaba khona ngenxa yokushoda kwegesi okungajwayelekile kulandela impi yaseRussia-Ukraine.
Kuwebinar yakamuva ye-Gas World, “I-Specialty Gas Spotlight,” ochwepheshe bemboni abavela ezinkampanini eziphambili i-Electrofluoro Carbons (EFC) kanye ne-Weldcoa baphendula imibuzo emayelana nezinselele ezibhekene namagesi akhethekile namuhla.

Ukraine umphakeli ngobukhulu emhlabeni amagesi izicukuthwane, kuhlanganiseneon, ikriptonifuthixenon. Emhlabeni jikelele, izwe lihlinzeka cishe ngama-70% omhlabaneonigesi kanye nama-40% omhlabaikriptoniigesi. I-Ukraine futhi ihlinzeka ngamaphesenti angama-90 webanga eliphakeme le-semiconductor-gradeneonigesi esetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni ama-chips asetshenziswa imboni yase-US, ngokusho kwe-Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Phakathi kokusetshenziswa okusabalele kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwe-chip ye-elekthronikhi, ukushoda okuqhubekayo kwamagesi ahloniphekile kungaba nomthelela omkhulu ekukhiqizeni ubuchwepheshe obufakwe kuma-semiconductors, okuhlanganisa izimoto, amakhompyutha, izinhlelo zezempi kanye nemishini yezokwelapha.

UMat Adams, iphini likamongameli omkhulu wenkampani yegesi i-Electronic Fluorocarbons, uveze ukuthi imboni yegesi eyivelakancane, ikakhulukazi i-xenon kanyeikriptoni, ungaphansi kwengcindezi “enkulu”. “Ezingeni lezinto ezibonakalayo, umthamo otholakalayo unomthelela omkhulu embonini,” kuchaza u-Adams.

Isidingo siyaqhubeka ngokunganqamuki njengoba ukunikezwa kuqhubeka nokuba nzima kakhulu. Njengoba umkhakha wesathelayithi ubalwa nengxenye enkulu kunazo zonke emakethe ye-xenon yomhlaba wonke, ukwanda kokutshalwa kwezimali kwesathelayithi kanye nesethelayithi kanye nobuchwepheshe obuhlobene nakho kuyaqhubeka nokuphazamisa imboni eguquguqukayo njengamanje.

“Uma wethula isathelayithi ebiza izigidigidi zamadola, awukwazi ukuyeka ukushodaxenon, ngakho lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele ube nayo,” kusho u-Adams. Lokhu kuye kwafaka ingcindezi eyengeziwe yentengo ezintweni zokwakha futhi sibona ukunyuka kwentengo yemakethe, ngakho amakhasimende ethu abhekene nezinselele. Ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nalezi zinselelo, i-EFC iyaqhubeka nokutshala imali ekuhlanzweni, ekucwilisweni phansi nasekukhiqizeni okwengeziwe kwamagesi ahloniphekile esikhungweni sayo sase-Hatfield, ePennsylvania.

Uma kuziwa ekukhuliseni ukutshalwa kwezimali kumagesi ahloniphekile, umbuzo uphakama: kanjani? Ukushoda kwamagesi asezingeni eliphezulu kusho ukuthi ziningi izinselelo zokukhiqiza. Ubunkimbinkimbi bochungechunge lokuthengwa kwempahla kusho ukuthi izinguquko ezinomthelela zingathatha iminyaka, u-Adams wachaza: “Ngisho noma uzinikele ngokugcwele ekutshaleni imali, kungathatha iminyaka kusukela lapho unquma ukutshala kuze kufike lapho ekutholela khona umkhiqizo. “Kuleyo minyaka lapho izinkampani zitshala imali, kujwayelekile ukubona ukuntengantenga kwentengo okungavimba abangaba abatshalizimali, futhi ngalowo mbono, u-Adams ukholelwa ukuthi nakuba imboni itshala imali, idinga okwengeziwe ngenxa yokwanda kokuchayeka kwamagesi ayivelakancane.” Isidingo sizokhuphuka kuphela.

Ukubuyisela kanye Nokwenza Kabusha

Ngokuthola kabusha nokuvuselela igesi, izinkampani zingonga izindleko nesikhathi sokukhiqiza. Ukugaywa kabusha nokugaywa kabusha kuvame ukuba "izihloko ezishisayo" lapho izindleko zegesi ziphezulu, nokuthembela okuphezulu emananini amanje. Njengoba imakethe izinza futhi izintengo zibuyela emazingeni omlando, umfutho wokuthola kabusha waqala ukwehla.

Lokho kungashintsha ngenxa yokukhathazeka mayelana nokushoda kanye nezici zemvelo.

"Amakhasimende aseqala ukugxila kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kabusha nasekugayweni kabusha," kwembula u-Adams. “Bafuna ukwazi ukuthi banawo ama-supply security. Lolu bhubhane luvule amehlo kubasebenzisi bokugcina, futhi manje sebebheka ukuthi singatshala kanjani imali esimeme ukuze siqiniseke ukuthi sinazo izinto esizidingayo. ” I-EFC yenze konke ebingakwenza, yavakashela izinkampani ezimbili zesathelayithi, yaphinde yathola igesi kuma-thrusters ngqo endaweni yokuqalisa. Ama-thruster amaningi asebenzisa igesi ye-xenon, engangeni ngamakhemikhali, engenambala, engenaphunga futhi engenambitheki. U-Adams uthe ucabanga ukuthi lo mkhuba uzoqhubeka, wengeza ngokuthi abashayeli abasebenzisa kabusha izinto bagxile ekutholeni izinto zokwakha kanye nokuba nezinhlelo eziqinile zokuqhubeka nebhizinisi, okuyizizathu ezimbili ezibalulekile zokutshala imali.

Izimakethe Ezisafufusa

Ngokungafani nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezintsha ezimakethe ezintsha, imakethe yegesi ibilokhu ijwayele ukusebenzisa imikhiqizo emidala ezinhlelweni ezintsha. “Isibonelo, sibona izikhungo ze-R&D zisebenzisa i-carbon dioxide ekukhiqizeni nasemisebenzini ye-R&D, into obungeke uyicabange eminyakeni edlule,” kusho u-Adams.

“I-High-purity isiqala ukuba nesidingo sangempela emakethe njengethuluzi. Ngicabanga ukuthi ukukhula okukhulu emazweni aseMelika kuzovela ezimakethe ezimakethe esizisebenzelayo njengamanje. ” Lokhu kukhula kungase kubonakale kubuchwepheshe obufana nama-chips, lapho Kulobu buchwepheshe, ubuchwepheshe buqhubeka nokuvela futhi bube buncane. Uma isidingo sezinto ezintsha sikhula, imboni kungenzeka ibone izinto ezidayiswa ngokwesiko ensimini zifunwa kakhulu.

Enanela umbono ka-Adams wokuthi izimakethe ezisafufusa cishe zizoqukethwe ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezikhona ezimbonini, uchwepheshe we-Weldcoa field kanye nochwepheshe wokwesekwa kwamakhasimende u-Kevin Klotz uthe inkampani ibone ushintsho olukhulu emikhiqizweni yasemkhathini eya ngokuya iyimfihlo. umkhakha wezidingo eziningi.

“Yonke into kusukela ekuxubeni kwegesi kuya kunoma yini engingeke ngiyicabange njengeseduze namagesi akhethekile; kodwa ama-superfluid asebenzisa i-carbon dioxide njengokudlulisa amandla ezikhungweni zenuzi noma ekucubunguleni izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-aerospace.” Imboni yemikhiqizo iyahlukahluka ngezinguquko kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nobuchwepheshe obusafufusa, njengokukhiqiza amandla, ukugcinwa kwamandla, njll. " “Ngakho-ke, lapho umhlaba wethu usuvele ukhona, ziningi izinto ezintsha nezijabulisayo ezenzekayo,” kwengeza uKlotz.
