Microcosm plant
The microcosm plant is used in soil and environmental research to study geochemical processes. Important hydrochemical boundary conditions can be set. The microcosm plant consists of a base unit and two reactors that can be used independently of each other.
These reactors can be used as follows:
- Control of pH value in the reactor
- Control of temperature in the reactor
- Control of redox potential in the reactor (oxidation and reduction conditions)
- Mixing of soil suspension with a powerful agitator
- Gas sampling in combination with the AS2 autosampler system
A typical application of the microcosm plant is the study of the solubility of heavy metals under defined redox potential or pH conditions.
The microcosm plant is also used at the University of Wuppertal. Under the direction of Prof. Rinklebe (President of the International Society for Trace Element Biogeochemistry (ISTEB) the flooding of soils is simulated with targeted control of the redox potential and the pH value in the soil suspension.
Microcosm plant from UIT GmbH Dresden have been part of the laboratory equipment of famous international research institutions for several years.
