Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the amount of radon and a method for measuring the area of adsorption of radon using the apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a radon source for supplying radon gas; a radon source connected to the radon source; A radon chamber in which a donut is introduced, a closure detachably connected to one end of the radon chamber and sealing the inside of the radon chamber when the closure is coupled, and a sealing member mounted on one side of the closure, And an image screen that is exposed to light by an infrared light source.
Description
The present invention relates to a device for measuring the adsorption area of radon and a method for measuring the adsorption area of the radon using the device.
When uranium and thorium, which are naturally present in rocks and soils, collapse continuously, they become radium. Radon is a radioactive inert gas produced by the collapse of the radium. Radon is a colorless, tasteless, odorless radioactive gas that is one of the heaviest gases. It is contained in a small amount in air or natural water, adsorbed in uranium minerals, and dissolved in mineral springs, hot springs and ground water.
Radon is an inert gas that reacts with fluorine or chlorine, which is chemically inert but has a high electronegativity, to produce compounds such as radon fluoride (RnF2). Dissolve 230 cm3 / L (20 ℃) in water and dissolve more in organic solvent. Radiation emitted from natural radon does not affect the human body, but if radon is accumulated in an enclosed space such as a mine or underground, it is highly likely to be inhaled by humans. It is known that when inhaled by humans, radon causes lung cancer in the body.
Due to the risk of indoor radon, there is a growing need for an infrastructure that can easily and accurately measure living space radon. In addition, the reliability of the radon measuring method and the measuring instrument should be secured, and such reliability can be secured by introducing the apparatus for measuring the adsorption area of the radon.
However, the conventional radon adsorption area measuring apparatus has a disadvantage in that it can not measure the adsorption homogeneity of radon because the adsorption area of the radon is measured using a pin hole camera. In addition, the measurement using the pinhole camera has a disadvantage of requiring a long time to obtain the image.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an equipment for measuring the adsorption area of radon which can accurately and quickly measure the adsorption area and homogeneity of adsorption and a method for measuring the same.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for measuring an adsorption area of a radon, the apparatus comprising: a radon source for supplying a lardon; A radon chamber connected to the radon source, the radon chamber being supplied with radon gas supplied from the radon source; A closure detachably coupled to one end of the radon chamber and sealing the inside of the radon chamber when the radon chamber is coupled; And an image screen mounted on one side of the enclosure and exposed to light by the alpha particles of radon solidified within the radon chamber.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sealing portion includes: a coupling portion coupled to one end of the radon chamber; And a screen mounting member disposed adjacent to the coupling portion and to which the image screen is attached; And a moving unit which is movably connected through the coupling unit and is movable up and down at a position adjacent to the coupling unit so that the image screen is brought into close contact with the solidified radon.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a buffer chamber connected to the radon source and separating the lardon gas supplied from the radon source from the other gas may be included.
Herein, the apparatus for measuring the adsorption area of radon may include a vacuum chamber connected to the radon chamber and for evacuating the radon chamber to a vacuum state so that the deposit is reduced to the bottom of the radon chamber of the radon gas introduced into the radon chamber .
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image display apparatus comprising: a radon chamber; Evacuating gas inside the radon chamber such that the interior of the enclosed radon chamber forms a vacuum state; Cooling the adsorption member disposed at one end of the radon chamber to freeze the radon gas introduced into the radon chamber; Injecting radon gas from the radon source into the radon chamber; And the image screen disposed at the other end of the radon chamber is sensitized by alpha particles of radon adsorbed to the adsorbent member.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, between the step of cooling the adsorption member and the step of injecting the radon gas, the radon gas is introduced into the radon chamber so as to reduce impurities other than the radon gas in the gas injected into the radon chamber. And separating it from the other gas.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include the step of irradiating the image screen with a laser so that light is emitted from the photosensitive portion of the photosensitive screen.
The method may further include measuring light radiated from the image screen to measure an absorption area of the radon.
According to the present invention as described above, the adsorption area and the adsorption homogeneity of the radon gas can be measured by sensitizing through the image screen and irradiating the laser on the image screen.
Also, according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, accuracy of radon absorption radius and homogeneity measurement can be increased.
Further, according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, more accurate and accurate calibration projects and equipment can be made available.
