Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil environment, and particularly relates to a greenhouse gas collection device for anaerobic cultivation of soil and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Rising temperatures may stimulate soil microbial activity, disrupt nutrient cycling, and ultimately transform soil from a carbon sink to a carbon source, increasing the production of greenhouse gases and exacerbating global warming. As one of the largest carbon pools on Earth, even minor changes in soil organic matter can significantly affect the production of greenhouse gases.

[0003] Soil respiration is a comprehensive manifestation of biological activity and chemical reaction processes in soil. It not only includes the respiration of plant roots but also encompasses the energy-yielding metabolic processes of soil microorganisms. In this complex ecosystem, changes in the metabolic pathways of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions can lead to the production of different types and amounts of greenhouse gases, such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, etc. The production of greenhouse gases is particularly evident in flooded paddy fields, wetlands, and landfill soils. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the production of greenhouse gases in anaerobic soils.

[0004] Traditional greenhouse gas collection devices for anaerobic cultivation of soil have the following limitations:

[0005] 1. A conduit is provided on the bottle cap of the experimental device and sealed with a spring clip. The anaerobic environment created has poor airtightness, and with the pressure changes caused by the production of greenhouse gases, gas leakage easily occurs, seriously affecting the integrity and validity of the data;

[0006] 2. Some experimental devices place the experimental soil in a container, add overlying water for sealing, and use a needle connector to extract gas samples and inject them into a vacuum bag. This method is only applicable to anaerobic conditions in a broad sense and is difficult to create a real and stable anaerobic environment, resulting in relatively low accuracy of experimental results;

[0007] 3. There are also some experimental devices that use a strictly sealed jaw glass bottle to cultivate soil. Although a strict anaerobic condition is constructed, the bottle stopper of the jaw glass bottle can only be used once, causing great waste of resources and making it difficult to achieve long-term and large-scale research use.

[0008] In view of this, how to provide a greenhouse gas collection device for anaerobic cultivation of soil with good airtightness, accurate measurement results, and suitable for long-term and large-scale research use is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0012] An aluminum foil gas collection bag, the aluminum foil gas collection bag is hermetically communicated with the large-diameter end;

[0014] Furthermore, it further includes:

[0015] A rubber tube, one end of the rubber tube is hermetically communicated with the large-diameter end, and the other end is hermetically communicated with the air inlet of the aluminum foil gas collection bag.

[0016] Furthermore, an air inlet valve is arranged at the air inlet of the aluminum foil gas collection bag.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the rubber tube and the large-diameter end are sealed by vacuum silicone grease, and the other end of the rubber tube and the air inlet of the aluminum foil gas collection bag are sealed by vacuum silicone grease.

[0018] Furthermore, the aperture of the sealing hole is 2 mm.

Open the intake valve of the aluminum foil gas collection bag, shake the screw - mouth glass bottle, and collect the gas generated inside the screw - mouth glass bottle into the aluminum foil gas collection bag.

[0038] Both the disc main body and the large-diameter end play a role in buffering gas and expanding the headspace volume, avoiding the risk of gas leakage caused by excessive gas pressure, improving the safety of the experiment, and ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of the experimental data. The aperture of the sealing hole is 2 mm, slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the small-diameter end, and the sealing hole is punched by a puncher. The rubber inner plug 2 is made of butyl rubber.

[0039] In this embodiment, it further includes: a rubber hose 5, one end of the rubber hose 5 is hermetically connected to the large-diameter end, and the other end is hermetically connected to the air inlet of the aluminum foil gas collection bag 6. An air inlet valve is provided at the air inlet of the aluminum foil gas collection bag 6. One end of the rubber hose 5 and the large-diameter end are sealed with vacuum silicone grease, and the other end of the rubber hose 5 and the air inlet of the aluminum foil gas collection bag 6 are sealed with vacuum silicone grease.

[0040] The following describes the usage method of the greenhouse gas collection device for soil anaerobic cultivation in combination with the above embodiments, including the following steps:

[0041] S1: Assemble the variable-diameter straight hose connector 4 with the aluminum foil gas collection bag 6 and the rubber inner plug 2 respectively, and assemble the screw cap 3 with the rubber inner plug 2.

[0042] S2: Add experimental soil 7 to the screw-mouth glass bottle 1, and at the same time add the required drugs, water, etc. for the experiment, and mix the soil with other substances; flush the screw-mouth glass bottle 1 with an inert gas until an anaerobic environment is formed in the screw-mouth glass bottle 1, and assemble the screw cap 3 assembled in S1 to the bottle mouth of the screw-mouth glass bottle 1.

[0043] S3: Cultivate the experimental soil 7 in the screw-mouth glass bottle 1 for a preset time.

After assembly, inert gas is introduced to discharge the original air in the screw-mouth glass bottle 1, and then the electric control valves of the two gas ports are closed. Compared with Embodiment 1, a more stringent anaerobic environment can be created to avoid air residue after inert gas flushing. In some other embodiments, the functions of inert gas inlet and outlet can also be achieved by installing a three-way valve on the screw-mouth glass bottle 1.
