Apparatus for preparation of solutions of solid samples for wet chemical analysis

Abstract

Abstract Apparatus for preparing solutions of solid samples for wet chemical analysis comprising an overflow dissolving vessel divided by an overflow baffle into at least two chambers, means for maintaining a constant stream of solvent flowing successivefully through the chambers of said overflow dissolving vessel and a metering conveyor scale for continuously metering a measured amount of solid sample to be analyzed to the overflow dissolving vessel, said metering conveyor scale comprising a conveyor for continuously introducing solid sample into the dissolving vessel, a vibratory feeder for continuously supplying solid sample to the conveyor at a controlled rate and an overflow funnel for supplying a controlled amount of sample to the vibratory feeder; deflecting baffles and agitators are provided to promote mixing and dissolution of the sample and means are provided for automatically withdrawing a sample of solution for analysis from the chamber remote from the chamber into which the solid sample is introduced.
