  • Publication number: 20230160786
    Abstract: A micro-zone soil sampling apparatus and method for different contamination situations. The apparatus includes an uncovered cylinder and a plurality of circular separators. The circular separators are horizontally arranged in a hollow inner cavity of the uncovered cylinder, and are removably connected to an inner wall of the uncovered cylinder. Each circular separator includes a plurality of inner rings arranged coaxially, an outer ring coaxially arranged outside the inner rings, and a soil-bearing net. Each circular separator is divided into multiple hollow spaces by the inner rings and the outer ring. The inner rings made of a permeable membrane material and the outer ring made of a rigid material both have a certain thickness. The soil-bearing net is fittedly fixed on a bottom of each circular separator. A plurality of spokes passing through a center of the soil-bearing net are fixedly arranged on the soil-bearing net.
