汞量测量及α杯氡测量在探测秦始皇陵中的应用

在对秦始皇陵开展了汞量测量试验研究中, 上方在陵墓发现了高强度的汞异常区, 表明深部确有汞源存在, 异常范围可能反映了地宫的大体平面位置。热释汞研究证明秦始皇陵上方土壤汞基本由低温汞组成, 实际上土壤汞测量是低温汞特征的反映。壤中气汞与土壤汞比较两者具有一致性, 相比而言土壤汞更稳定。α杯氡测量在勘查地下汞源和确定陪葬坑的位置等试验中取得初步效果。

MERCUROMETRIC SURVEY AND α-CUP RADON MEASUREMENT IN ARCHEOLOGICAL DETECTIONOF THE QIN SHI HUANG TOMB

In the tentative mercurometric survey around the Qin Shi Huang Tomb, a high mercury anomalous area was detected over the tomb. This suggests that there does exist a mercury source at the depth, and that the area of the mercury anomaly might reflect the approximate position of the underground palace. The heat-release mercury study demonstrates that the soil mercury over the Qin Shi Huang Tomb is basically composed of low-temperature mercury, and that soil survey measurement is actually the reflection of low-temperature mercury. The volatile mercury in soil is consistent with the soil mercury; nevertheless, the soil mercury is more stable. Theα-cup radon measurement has yielded preliminary results in the detection of underground mercury source and the locating of subordinate funeral pits.
