[0002] Currently, when sampling the gases contained in formation waters such as hot springs and hydrothermal fluids, on the one hand, the environmental differences at the leakage points of formation waters such as hot springs and hydrothermal fluids are huge and relatively harsh. At the same time, the leakage points of hot springs and hydrothermal fluids often have the problem of too high temperature. Therefore, the sampling difficulty is relatively large and it is easy to pose a safety threat to sampling personnel. On the other hand, the gas components at the leakage points of hot springs and hydrothermal fluids are complex, the gas flow stability is poor, it is difficult to continuously and stably carry out gas collection operations, and the collected gas samples are easily polluted by external air environment. At the same time, due to the relatively high temperature of hot springs and hydrothermal fluids, a large amount of water vapor is contained in the collected gas samples, resulting in poor quality of the gas samples and greatly affecting the detection accuracy during subsequent analysis of the gas samples due to pollution, making it difficult to effectively meet the usage requirements.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the deficiencies in current actual work, it is necessary to develop a new gas collection device and method for detecting gases in formation waters to meet the needs of actual work. Summary of the Invention

[0012] A collection method for a gaseous volatile matter collection device in crust fluid includes the following steps:
[0013] S1. System prefabrication: First, the crust fluid aggregation mechanism, the flow rate regulating device, the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism, the volatile matter collection device, and the control circuit are respectively transported to the sampling point for assembly and installation to obtain a finished collection device. Then, the finished collection device is installed and positioned on the geological structure around the sampling point. The crust fluid aggregation mechanism is placed into the water body. At the same time, the formation water at the sampling point is filled into the water storage bucket, and the drainage pipe at the rear end of the volatile matter collection device is placed into the water storage bucket filled with formation water. The peristaltic pump in the flow rate regulating device is started to run in the reverse direction. The formation water in the water storage bucket flows successively along the drainage pipe at the rear end of the volatile matter collection mechanism to the crust fluid aggregation mechanism until the finished collection device is filled with formation water and circulates, completely exhausting the air in the finished collection device. Then, the valves of the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism and the volatile matter collection device are closed.
[0014] S2, Volatile Component Collection: After completing step S1, adjust the peristaltic pump to run forward, and at the same time open the drain port of the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism. As the gaseous volatiles accumulated in the crust fluid accumulation mechanism enter the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism through the flow rate regulating device, the formation water in the finished product collection device is discharged from the tail end of the gas collection copper tube by using the pressure of the gaseous volatiles. When the liquid level in the formation water in the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism drops to 1 / 2 - 1 / 3 of the device height, close the drain port, and at the same time open the valve connecting the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism and the volatile component collection device. The gaseous volatiles enter the volatile component collection device, forming a continuous gaseous volatiles gas stream. After passing through the continuous gas stream in the copper tube collection device for 10 minutes, first close the lower part of the copper tube, and then close the upper part of the copper tube device. Thus, the gaseous volatiles collection operation can be completed.
[0015] Further, in step S2, when the flow rate regulating device is sampling the formation water, the gas flow rate at the sampling point is the ratio of the gas flow rate to the time. At the same time, after forming a continuous gaseous volatiles gas stream, pay attention to the liquid level in the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism synchronously. If the liquid level rises, reduce the flow rate of the fluid regulating device; otherwise, increase the flow rate of the fluid regulating device.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the system of the present invention has a high degree of system integration and modularization. On the one hand, it can effectively meet the need for efficient and flexible sampling of formation water in various complex environments. At the same time, during the sampling process, it can effectively prevent solid pollutants from contaminating the equipment, and can also improve the efficiency of the separation and collection operations between gas and water. On the other hand, it can effectively improve the working efficiency and accuracy of the gas collection operation in the formation water, overcome the pollution of the formation water gas by external air, thereby greatly improving the quality of the sampled gas sample and the accuracy of the detection and analysis operation.

Then insert the support column into the ground at the position of the formation water leakage point. Finally, adjust the position of the collection tank through the guiding arm and embed the collection tank into the water body at the formation water leakage point, so as to enable the staff to deploy the equipment remotely, overcoming the defects of sampling difficulties and potential safety hazards caused by factors such as high-temperature water vapor at the formation water leakage point and the difficult-to-stand ground structure during the sampling of traditional sampling equipment.

[0029] When the muddy water separation mechanism operates, the water body and the gas contained in the water body enter the water collecting tank from bottom to top along the axis of the water collecting tank. Thus, the water body is preliminarily filtered through the filter net, the filter cotton layer, and the negative ion balls of the muddy water separation mechanism, and the pollutants such as large-particle-size sediment are preliminarily filtered and purified.

There is at least one electric heating wire 25, which is embedded on the inner side of the storage tank 21 and distributed in a spiral structure around the axis of the storage tank 21. An assembly cavity 28 coaxial with it is arranged at the bottom of the storage tank 21. The semiconductor refrigeration mechanism 24 is located in the assembly cavity 28, and a number of ventilation openings 29 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the assembly cavity 28 corresponding to the semiconductor refrigeration mechanism 24.

[0036] During operation, after the gas is transported into the storage tank, the pressure in the storage tank increases. While the pressure increases, it drives the liquid and the regulating piston in the storage tank to move downward as a whole. While satisfying gas storage, the pressure maintaining operation is realized through the elasticity of the regulating spring column. At the same time, the regulating spring column is compressed to store elastic potential energy. When the gas pressure in the storage tank decreases, under the drive of the elastic potential energy, the liquid level in the storage tank rises as a whole, compressing the storage space in the storage tank, so as to achieve the effect of stabilizing the gas pressure.
[0037] The provided semiconductor refrigeration mechanism, electric heating wire, and temperature sensor cooperate. During operation, the temperature sensor first accurately obtains the temperatures of the input and output gases. Then, the semiconductor refrigeration mechanism operates to cool the storage tank as a whole. By cooling, the gas input into the storage tank is condensed, causing the water vapor in the sampled gas to condense and liquefy, thus achieving separation from the gas. At the same time, the provided electric heating wire can adjust the temperature of the storage tank as a whole, making the temperature of the output gas consistent with the temperatures of subsequent equipment and the external environment, preventing the gas from condensing during transportation due to drastic temperature changes, which could lead to a decrease in air pressure and volume, and also preventing the condensate water from contaminating or eroding the equipment due to gas condensation.
[0038] Meanwhile, the provided metering pump can assist the provided pressure sensor and flow sensor to accurately control and measure the gas supply discharged, facilitating the improvement of the accuracy of gas collection and detection operation control and the precision of operation.
[0039] In this embodiment, the control circuit 4 is a circuit system based on any one of the FPGA chip and the DSP chip, and the control circuit 4 is additionally provided with a serial communication circuit and an auxiliary drive power supply based on a battery pack.
[0040] As Figure 5 shown, a collection method for a gaseous volatile collection device in crustal fluids includes the following steps:
[0041] S1, System prefabrication: First, the crustal fluid aggregation mechanism, flow regulation device, gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism, volatile collection device, and control circuit are separately transported to the sampling point for assembly and installation to obtain a finished collection device. Then, the finished collection device is installed and positioned on the geological structure around the sampling point. The crustal fluid aggregation mechanism is placed into the water body. At the same time, the formation water at the sampling point is filled into the water storage bucket, and the drainage pipe at the rear end of the volatile collection device is placed into the water storage bucket filled with formation water. The peristaltic pump in the flow regulation device is started to run in the reverse direction. The formation water in the water storage bucket flows sequentially along the drainage pipe at the rear end of the volatile collection mechanism to the crustal fluid aggregation mechanism until the finished collection device is filled with formation water and circulates, completely exhausting the air in the finished collection device. Then, the valves of the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism and the volatile collection device are closed.
[0042] S2, Volatile Component Collection. After completing step S1, adjust the peristaltic pump to run forward, and at the same time open the drain port of the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism. As the gaseous volatile components accumulated in the crust fluid accumulation mechanism enter the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism through the flow regulating device, the formation water in the finished product collection device is discharged from the tail end of the gas collection copper tube by using the pressure of the gaseous volatile components. When the liquid level height of the formation water in the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism drops to 1 / 2 - 1 / 3 of the device height, close the drain port, and at the same time open the valve connecting the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism and the volatile component collection device. The gaseous volatile components enter the volatile component collection device, forming a continuous gaseous volatile component airflow. After the copper tube collection device passes through the continuous airflow for 10 minutes, first close the lower part of the copper tube, and then close the upper part of the copper tube device. Thus, the gaseous volatile component collection operation can be completed.
[0043] In this embodiment, in step S2, when the flow regulating device is sampling formation water, the gas flow rate at the sampling point is the ratio of the gas flow rate to the time. At the same time, after forming a continuous gaseous volatile component airflow, pay attention to the liquid level height in the gas-liquid two-phase separation mechanism synchronously. If the liquid level height rises, reduce the flow rate of the fluid regulating device; otherwise, increase the flow rate of the fluid regulating device.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the system of the present invention has a high degree of system integration and modularization. On the one hand, it can effectively meet the need for efficient and flexible sampling of formation water in various complex environments. At the same time, during the sampling process, it can effectively prevent solid pollutants from contaminating the equipment, and can also improve the efficiency of the separation and collection operations between gas and water. On the other hand, it can effectively improve the working efficiency and accuracy of the gas collection operation in formation water, overcome the pollution of the formation water gas by external air, thereby greatly improving the quality of the sampled gas sample and the accuracy of the detection and analysis operation.
