Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soil soluble matter filtering, and in particular to a filtering device for filtering soluble organic carbon in soil. Background Art

[0002] The rich organic carbon in the soil provides the necessary material basis for the growth of plants and animals. Soil soluble organic carbon (DOC), as one of the components of soil organic carbon, is extremely active, although it accounts for a small proportion. It is an important carrier factor for the movement of nutrients between the soil sphere and other spheres. The study of the generation and influencing factors of DOC has become the focus of current soil carbon cycle research.

[0003] Soil DOC is composed of simple organic acids and complex macromolecules, so it is difficult to give it a chemical definition. At present, the water-soluble organic carbon that passes through a 0.45μm microporous filter membrane is usually defined as soil DOC. Due to the special properties of soil DOC and its important role in carbon cycle, experts and scholars at home and abroad have conducted a lot of research on its dynamic changes and influencing factors. Summarizing the research results of predecessors is of great significance for further research on the content of DOC in different soils, migration and transformation characteristics, soil carbon cycle and protection of the ecological environment in the future.

[0004] When extracting soil DOC for experiments, the traditional method is for testers to use a plastic syringe to absorb the filtrate, install a 0.45μm filter membrane on the syringe, and then press the syringe piston by hand to filter the sample, which is very laborious and time-consuming. Since soil soluble organic carbon is a basic indicator, the test volume is often very large, and there is currently no equipment that can filter soluble organic carbon in multiple soil samples at one time. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems of the traditional manual filtering method of soluble organic carbon in soil samples, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming and unable to filter multiple soil samples at the same time, thereby providing a filtering device for filtering soluble organic carbon in soil.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention provides a filtering device for filtering soluble organic carbon in soil, comprising: a syringe 1 for sucking a soil solution 3 and a 0.45 μm filter membrane 2 for filtering the soluble organic carbon in the soil solution 3; the filtering device also includes:

[0007] The sealed cavity 4 is connected to a vacuum pump 5 and is monitored by a pressure sensor 6 to maintain a negative pressure state inside; and

[0008] A plurality of Luer connectors 7 are sealed and installed in the top opening of the closed cavity 4; each of the Luer connectors 7 is provided with the 0.45 μm filter membrane 2, the upper end of which is sealed and connected to a syringe 1, and the lower end of which corresponds to the center of a test tube 8 in the closed cavity 4; wherein,

[0009] The soil solution 3 in the syringe 1 flows into the test tube 8 through the 0.45 μm filter membrane 2 under the action of negative pressure, thereby filtering the soluble organic carbon.

[0010] As an improvement of the above-mentioned device, a test tube rack 11 for placing the test tube 8 is arranged in the closed cavity 4 .

[0011] As an improvement of the above-mentioned equipment, the side wall of the enclosed cavity 4 is provided with an opening for installing a cavity door 9; a sealing ring is provided at the edge of the cavity door 9; when the cavity door 9 is closed, the cavity door 9 is fixed at the opening of the side wall of the enclosed cavity 4 through a cavity door switch 13, and is sealed and closed with the opening of the side wall of the enclosed cavity 4 through the sealing ring.

[0012] As an improvement of the above-mentioned device, the filtering device further comprises: a controller 10 connected to the vacuum pump 5 and used for adjusting the suction force of the vacuum pump 5 .

[0013] As an improvement of the above device, the filtering device includes: at least 40 Luer connectors 7.

[0014] As an improvement of the above equipment, the test tube 8 comprises: a centrifuge tube with a capacity of 5ml-45ml.

[0015] As an improvement of the above device, the capacity of the syringe 1 is 10ml-100ml.

[0016] As an improvement to the above equipment, the negative pressure is negative 0.09 MPa.

[0017] The filtering device for filtering soluble organic carbon in soil provided by the present invention can simultaneously allow soil solutions 3 in a plurality of syringes 1 to flow into the corresponding test tubes 8 through a 0.45 μm filter membrane 2 under the action of negative pressure, thereby achieving simultaneous filtration of soluble organic carbon in a plurality of soil samples, meeting the filtering requirements for a large number of soil samples. The step of filtering, which is the most difficult for manpower, can be completed by the device provided by the present invention, thus saving manpower and time, and providing a basis for further testing of soluble organic carbon in soil.
