  • SELF-FILLING SOIL PROCESSING CHAMBER WITH DYNAMIC EXTRACTANT VOLUME
    Publication number: 20190120737
    Abstract: A soil analysis device is configured to create a soil sample solution. The device includes a reservoir configured to store an extractant, a mixing chamber coupled to the reservoir and configured to receive extractant from the reservoir and to receive a raw soil sample, and a control system. The control system is configured to determine an amount of extractant needed to produce, from the raw soil sample, a soil sample solution with a particular soil-to-extractant ratio and configured to cause the determined amount of extractant to be transferred from the reservoir to the mixing chamber.
    Type: Application
