Abstract

These data were collected in order to optimize a new method for degassing dissolved radon-222 from water. The general premise is the use of a sparging chamber (‘Bell’) that is deployed underwater and uses bubbles to degas the radon. This dataset includes the experimental (Bell) results. See also the control dataset (https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/826844). See methodology outlined in Peterson et al., 2013 (Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry). The sparging chamber is connected to ...
