Тraditional and prospective spheres of helium use
A brief description of helium (characteristic of its general properties, the most important of them in a geological sense, its occurrence in nature) is given. Much attention is given to helium recovery from natural gases. The description of ways of preserving the qualitative helium resources is shown on the example of foreign countries. The fields of application of helium based on its unique properties are considered in some detail. The history of developing the industrial production of helium is traced and the proposed fields of helium use in the future are shown. The dynamics of helium world use is considered, the forecast of demand for helium is given to 2020. An unbalance between using and developing the Russia highly qualitative gas-helium resources and its demands and possibilities is shown.
