Description

The study of radon like a tracer in Geology involves the study of radon's dissolution in water. The objective of this work is to study the time required to dissolve a volume of radon in water and to expel it from water. For this purpose a device has been built that allows dissolving or expelling a volume of radon in water. The results show that it is possible to dissolve or expel, in a short time, a volume of radon from water. (Author)

Abstract (Spanish)

El estudio de la disolucion del radon en agua ha sido un tema de importancia en Geologia, debido a las cualidades de este gas como trazador geoquimico. Para estudiar el tiempo de disolucion y desgasificacion de este gas, se utilizo un dispositivo que permite disolver y desgasificar una cantidad de radon en un volumen de agua. Los resultados muestran que es posible disolver y desgasificar rapidamente una cantidad de este gas en el agua. (Author)
