How is radon separated from other materials found in it?

Radon is typically separated from other materials by utilizing a process called fractional distillation or adsorption. These methods take advantage of radon’s different boiling point or affinity for certain adsorbents compared to other materials present in a mixture. Radon can also be extracted from its source, such as soil or air, using specialized equipment designed for radon gas extraction.
