How is helium extracted from its ore?

Answer 1

Helium is usually extracted from a natural gas well. The well has many gases in it, and they can all be separated from one another by cooling. When natural gas(methane) is cooled it will form a liquid that can be drained off, while the helium will remain a gas. There is usually water hydrogen and Co2 in the well also. same process is done, but at different temps.

Answer 2

That makes no sense. Helium has no ore.. Im almost certain helium cant exist as a solid. And if it can, it must be at almost absoute zero.

Answer 3

you heat it :)

Answer 4

yes. it can be extracted from air
