Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of geochemical measurement, in particular to a capture device for enhancing the capture efficiency of ground-gas nano-metal particles. Background Art

[0002] Geogas nanoparticle detection is one of the more effective deep-penetrating geochemical measurement techniques. Its main principle is to capture various nanoparticles of metal associated with concealed ore bodies, carried up from the overburden by geogas flows. High-resolution analysis of the content of different elements is then used to detect anomalies. The geochemical anomalies obtained by this technique have the characteristics of deep prospecting depth and direct indication of concealed ore bodies beneath the overburden. Recent research has also confirmed the presence of ultrafine or nanoparticles of metal in gases (geogas flows). Due to their enormous surface energy, these mobile nanoparticles can adsorb onto the surfaces of gas molecules and migrate vertically in the geogas flow in a gas-like form, penetrating the overburden above the ore body and reaching the surface. Some nanoparticles can remain in the soil atmosphere for long periods of time, while others are adsorbed by clay minerals or oxide films in the soil.

[0003] Currently, the main collection methods used for measuring nano-metal particles in ground air are active and passive. The passive ground air collection method mainly uses a plastic funnel, which uses a polystyrene film as the capture material. When in use, the film is covered on a glass sheet, and the two are placed together at the end of the funnel's air outlet. A plastic cup is then placed on top. The entire device is buried about 40-50 cm underground for about two months to capture nano-metal particles. However, the collection efficiency of this device is too low, and the equipment is easily lost, which has led to the method not being widely promoted. The active ground method requires extracting gas from the formation and then using a capture device to capture the nano-metal particles therein. However, existing capture devices have difficulty in fully absorbing the metal particles in the gas, and the capture element may be lost. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of nano-metal particle detection in ground airflow, a capture device that can fully capture nano-metal particles in ground airflow is needed.

[0026] When the capture device works, the air extraction port 41 at the top of the capture cylinder 1 is connected to an air extraction device, and the air inlet end of the capture pipe 2 is connected to a gas sampling probe. The gas sampling probe is inserted into the formation, and air sampling holes are sealed on the side wall of the gas sampling probe; the air extraction device extracts air from the air extraction port 41, which can make the gas in the formation (underground flowing gas) continuously enter from the air inlet end of the capture pipe 2 and overflow downward from the bubbler 3 at the air outlet end of the capture pipe 2.
