The invention relates to a method for obtaining xenon, wherein a first feed flow containing xenon and sulfur hexafluoride is supplied to a rectification step, and a first subsequent flow is formed by means of the rectification step, said subsequent flow containing xenon and being enriched with sulfur hexafluoride in comparison with the first feed flow, wherein at least a part of the first subsequent flow is subjected to an adsorption step as a second feed flow, and a second subsequent flow is formed by means of the adsorption step, said second subsequent flow containing xenon and being depleted of sulfur hexafluoride in comparison with the feed mixture The present invention also relates to a corresponding system.
