Automatic tritium extraction device and method for environmental monitoring

摘要

An automatic tritium extraction device for environmental monitoring comprises a distillation chamber, a temperature control unit, a condensation unit and an auxiliary condensation unit. The distillation chamber is connected to a first pump, a second pump and a third pump. A delivery pipe comprises a first vertical pipe, a second vertical pipe and an oblique pipe which inclines upwards from the distillation chamber to the condensation unit. An automatic tritium extraction method for environmental monitoring comprises the following steps: 1) cleaning of a distillation chamber; 2) distillation rising; 3) distillation; 4) condensation; 5) discharging samples out of the distillation chamber. By the adoption of the automatic tritium extraction device and method for environmental monitoring, fully-automatic distillation and condensation of environmental tritium samples, automatic cleaning of the distillation chamber, and automatic and accurate addition of required agents are realized, and fully-automatic acquisition, preparation, distillation, purification, measurement and analysis of environmental tritium can be completed; and manual intervention is reduced, so that monitoring results are more accurate, and labor costs are saved.
