Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and equipment for observing underground fluid gas of earthquake precursors in the field of geochemistry, in particular to an on-line monitoring system and method for monitoring trace hydrogen released from faults for earthquake observation. Background technique [0002] Faults are a good channel for the migration and escape of gas inside the earth. The creep, dislocation and rupture of faults are the cause of earthquakes, and at the same time, they will cause the internal gas to migrate to different degrees. The content of hydrogen in the surface air is only 0.5-1ppm, but there is a large amount of hydrogen in the deep part of the earth, which exists in the state of adsorbing dissolved hydrogen and hydrocarbons, and is mainly discharged through rocks and soils in fault zones, or with the deep circulation of the earth. The hot water is carried and released through the hot spring dew point. Faults will slip under the ac...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. Low precision, unable to distinguish trace hydrogen concentration in the air

The hydrogen concentration on the surface is generally low, about 0.5-1ppm. Existing observation techniques generally cannot accurately detect trace hydrogen concentrations below 10ppm, which has a great impact on the background observation of earthquake precursor fault outgassing observations.

[0006] 2. The existing monitoring system has a low degree of automation and many human factors

The change of the gas escaping from the earthquake precursor fault changes with the underground activities. Only continuous observation can help to discover the changes of underground activiti
