Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of nuclear radiation detection technology, and in particular to a system and method for real-time monitoring of radon concentration in discontinuous groundwater with a small flow rate. Background Art
[0002] radon( 222 Rn) is a radioactive isotope that is widely distributed in the air, rock, soil and water in the environment. It is a colorless, odorless, water-soluble inert gas.
[0003] Geological disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, and cavern collapses, triggered by human or natural factors, pose a significant threat to human life and property. Water (such as rainfall, cyclical fluctuations in reservoir water levels, and excess pore water pressure at faults) often plays a key role in these disasters. Groundwater is also the primary carrier of rock and soil material, and its physical and chemical parameters are important indicators of rock and soil evolution. In particular, abnormal changes in radon concentrations in groundwater often indicate the evolution of the rock and soil's internal structure and can serve as a key early warning indicator for geological disasters.
[0004] Furthermore, with the continued advancement of infrastructure construction and excavation technology in my country, the scale and number of tunnels and underground caverns have increased exponentially. Due to the tightness and poor ventilation of these underground structures, radon gas accumulation is a common problem during both excavation and operation. High radon concentrations pose a serious health risk to personnel, making the radon concentration in tunnel groundwater a critical safety indicator. Whether through landslides, earthquakes, or the excavation of underground caverns, rock or soil masses can deform, damage, or even fail. This deformation and failure releases radon into the surrounding groundwater, causing significant variations in radon concentrations in the water flowing through the rock and soil. However, due to the varying permeability of different rock and soil masses and seasonal variations in atmospheric precipitation, water flow rates can vary in both time and space. Therefore, long-term monitoring of radon in water requires addressing these small, discontinuous flow conditions.
[0005] On the one hand, water samples exposed in some dense rock and soil bodies often drip. To prevent the radon gas from escaping due to dripping water, water samples need to be collected close to the water outcrop point. This water sampling is generally done manually. The labor cost of collecting and measuring water samples over several years is extremely high. Furthermore, water monitoring points are often located in the field. Due to the temporal non-uniformity of groundwater flow, it is often difficult to ensure the timely collection of water samples and the real-time measurement of water samples manually. Furthermore, the data collection density for long-term monitoring is low, which is very unfavorable for long-term radon monitoring.
[0006] On the other hand, in addition to the above-mentioned manual collection monitoring, the existing long-term monitoring method of water body radon concentration often takes continuous water as the monitoring object, releases the water sample through the nozzle by pumping, releases radon gas from the water body for measurement. This has certain requirements for the flow of water sample, and often needs continuous flow to meet the real-time uninterrupted monitoring of radon gas in groundwater. Another way to consider the balance between radon in water and radon in air for radon concentration monitoring can not consider the continuity of water flow, but this monitoring method also has certain flow requirements, which requires the water in the device to be completely updated once in a period of time, and the response time to radon concentration change is long, so there may be a lag in the sudden change of radon concentration, which is very unfavorable for the prediction and early warning of earthquakes and landslides.

[0096] In a specific operation, the water collecting bottle 24 in the water collecting state sends a signal to the first pressure sensor 212, representing that the water sample collection is completed; the water collecting bottle 24 in the measuring state sends radon concentration data to the radon concentration measuring device 3, representing that the measurement is completed, and the general time is set to not more than 30 min; the water collecting bottle 24 in the water discharging state sets the minimum water discharging flow rate by controlling the third water discharging pipe 234, the third opening 235 and the aperture size of the second water discharging pipe 223, so as to ensure that the water discharging is completed within 25 min. Only when the water collecting bottle 24 in the water collecting state and the water collecting bottle 24 in the measuring state are both completed, the control and data collection device 4 sends a rotating signal to the second stepping motor 7 to drive the disc-cylinder 22 to rotate to switch the state of the water collecting bottle 24. At the same time, in the process of rotating the disc-cylinder 22, the control and data collection device 4 also sends a rotating signal to the first stepping motor 5 to drive the movable ball valve 131 to rotate to close the water valve 13; when the disc-cylinder 22 is rotated to the position, the control and data collection device 4 sends a rotating signal to the first stepping motor 5 to drive the movable ball valve 131 to rotate reversely to open the water valve 13.
[0097] Since the sealing water layer 231 is only opened at a specific position, only the water collecting bottle 24 reaching the corresponding opening forms a passage when the water collecting bottle 24 is switched, and the first air outlet pipe 243, the first air inlet pipe 244 and the fourth water discharging pipe 246 of the water collecting bottle 24 are always sealed in the switching process; the sealing water layer 231 is tightly filled between the disc-cylinder 22 and the central cylinder 23, so as to ensure the sealing property of the sealing water layer 231 at the unopened position.
[0098] In addition, the disc-cylinder 22 is rotated clockwise under the driving of the second stepping motor 7, each water collecting bottle 24 sequentially experiences the processes of collecting water sample, measuring radon concentration, discharging water and idling, and circulates repeatedly; wherein the third water discharging pipe 234, the third opening 235, the second water discharging pipe 223 and the pipelines connecting the three need to meet the minimum water discharging flow rate of 25 ml / min.
[0099] The embodiment of the application also discloses a small-flow discontinuous underground water radon concentration real-time monitoring method based on the small-flow discontinuous underground water radon concentration real-time monitoring system.
[0100] The small-flow discontinuous underground water radon concentration real-time monitoring method comprises the following steps:
[0101] S1. The horn-shaped opening 111 of the drainage pipe 112 is fixed directly below the water outlet, and the lower end of the drainage pipe 112 is arranged in the water collecting cavity 12; if there are multiple water outlets in the same small area, multiple drainage pipes 112 can be used to gather all the water samples into the water collecting cavity 12.
[0102] S2. The water sample flows through the water valve 13 to the first water inlet pipe 241 of the water collecting bottle 24 in the water collecting state, and is stored in the water collecting bottle 24; at this time, the first gas outlet pipe 243, the first gas inlet pipe 244 and the fourth water outlet pipe 246 of the water collecting bottle 24 do not form a passage with the central cylinder 23, the gas in the water collecting bottle 24 is discharged through the exhaust mechanism, and the water level in the bottle is continuously raised.
[0103] S3. When the water level in the water collecting bottle 24 in step S2 reaches a set value and is detected by the first pressure sensor 212, the second stepping motor 7 is controlled to drive the disc cylinder 22 to rotate by 90°, and the water collecting bottle 24 enters the measuring state, the first gas outlet pipe 243 is communicated with the third gas outlet pipe 233, and the first gas inlet pipe 244 is communicated with the third gas inlet pipe 232, the radon gas escaping from the water collecting bottle 24 enters the radon concentration measuring device 3 for radon concentration detection, and after the detection is completed, the gas is returned to the water collecting bottle 24 through the third gas inlet pipe 232 and the first gas inlet pipe 244 under the pumping of the micro pump in the radon monitor 32, so as to keep the air pressure in the water collecting bottle 24 balanced and promote the radon gas in the water to be precipitated. And during the radon concentration detection, the wireless data collector records the date and time when the second stepping motor 7 completes the rotation, the wireless signal receiver transmitter 41 sends a pump operation signal to the radon monitor 32, the radon monitor 32 pumps the gas in the water collecting bottle 24 to carry the radon gas in the water body of the water collecting bottle 24 to the radon monitor 32, starts to measure the radon concentration, and records the measurement result, and the monitoring time of the water body radon concentration needs 30 minutes.
[0104] S4. When the radon concentration detection in the water collecting bottle 24 in step S3 is completed, the disc cylinder 22 is continuously driven to rotate by 90° in the same direction, and the water collecting bottle 24 enters the water draining state, the fourth water outlet pipe 246 is communicated with the third water outlet pipe 234, and the water level in the bottle is continuously lowered.
[0105] S5. Continue to drive the disc cylinder 22 to rotate by 90° in the same direction each time, so that each water collecting bottle 24 on the disc cylinder 22 sequentially experiences steps S2-S4 and circulates, to realize real-time monitoring of the radon concentration of small flow discontinuous water sample; wherein the starting mechanism of the disc cylinder 22 rotating by 90° each time is based on the water in each water collecting bottle 24 in the water collecting state being full and overflowing into the measuring cylinder 213, which is controlled by the water full signal processing device 21, and a complete measurement signal is also sent by the radon concentration measuring device 3, which is synchronously controlled by the two; and in the process of rotating the disc cylinder 22, the first stepping motor 5 also drives the movable ball valve 131 to rotate to close the water valve 13, and after the disc cylinder 22 is rotated in place, the first stepping motor 5 drives the movable ball valve 131 to rotate in the opposite direction to open the water valve 13.
