摘要：

氦是一种与天然气伴生的不可再生惰性气体，在高温气冷堆、核磁共振、半导体制造和大科学装置等领域都发挥着不可替代的作用。近年来，全球氦气的消耗量逐年增加，但氦气的生产能力无法满足其消费量。开发低成本、高效率的天然气提氦技术具有重要意义。本文使用Incopat全球专利检索和分析系统，精确检索了天然气提氦的相关专利技术，介绍氦气分离领域专利的总体情况和揭示重点专利，系统总结和讨论了该技术的发展趋势。通过对重点专利技术的深入分析发现，中国、美国、日本、德国和俄罗斯的技术创新能力和活跃程度相对较高，是该技术领域的专利主要持有国，前三位的提氦技术为深冷法、膜分离法和多技术耦合法，膜分离技术是重点专利中快速发展的分离技术；本文从膜材料和膜分离工艺两个方向，重点概述天然气提氦膜分离技术最新研究进展。研究发现开发和设计具有成本效益的膜工艺，例如膜分离与低温技术耦合工艺等进行系统集成和优化是进一步提高提氦经济性的关键。旨在揭示天然气提氦技术，尤其是膜分离氦气技术的全球研发态势，帮助研究人员准确把握研究趋势，为科研机构制定科学政策和战略计划提供支持。

Helium is a non renewable inert gas associated with natural gas, playing an irreplaceable role in fields such as high-temperature gas cooled reactors, nuclear magnetic resonance, semiconductor manufacturing, and large-scale scientific facilities. In recent years, the global consumption of helium has been increasing year by year, but the production capacity of helium cannot meet its consumption. Developing low-cost and high-efficiency natural gas helium extraction technology is of great significance. This article uses the Incopat global patent search and analysis system to accurately search for patent technologies related to natural gas helium extraction. It introduces the overall situation of patents in the field of helium separation and reveals key patents. The system summarizes and discusses the development trends of this technology. Through in-depth analysis of key patented technologies, it is found that China, the United States, Japan, Germany, and Russia have relatively high technological innovation capabilities and activity levels, and are the main holders of patents in this field. The top three helium extraction technologies are cryogenic method, membrane separation method, and multi technology coupling method. Membrane separation technology is a rapidly developing separation technology among key patents; This article focuses on the latest research progress of natural gas helium extraction membrane separation technology from two directions: membrane materials and membrane separation processes. Research has found that developing and designing cost-effective membrane processes, such as membrane separation and low-temperature technology coupling processes, for system integration and optimization, is key to further improving the economy of helium extraction. This article aims to reveal the global research and development trend of natural gas helium extraction technology, especially membrane separation helium technology, to help researchers accurately grasp research trends and provide support for scientific research institutions to formulate scientific policies and strategic plans.
