The invention discloses a device and a method for measuring the emanation coefficient of
radon generated by
radium decay in
lunar soil. The device comprises a
nitrogen cylinder, a pressure reducing valve, a first connector, a first
electromagnetic valve, a
metal container, a pressure gauge, a second
electromagnetic valve, a second connector and an
air pump. The
nitrogen cylinder, the pressure reducing valve, the first connector, the first
electromagnetic valve, the
metal container, the second electromagnetic valve, the second connector and the
air pump are sequentially connected in series, and the other end of the
air pump is communicated with the external environment. The method comprises the following steps: starting an air pump to control the air pressure value of a
metal container, respectively recording the
radon activity of
lunar soil particles in the metal container at present and after 28 days, establishing a relational expression between the
radon emanation coefficient and the radon activity of the
lunar soil particles under different air pressures, substituting the measured radon activity into the relational expression, and fitting to obtain a relation curve between the emanation coefficient and the air pressure. And substituting the air pressure value on the moon to calculate the emanation coefficient of the lunar soil at the normal temperature. The measuring device is simple, the measuring process is convenient and fast, and the emanation coefficient of radon generated by
radium decay in lunar soil in the
atmosphere-free environment such as the moon and the like can be obtained.
