This edition of B202 was approved on June 9, 2013. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a coope

17、rative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the American Water Works Association Research Foundat

18、ion (AwwaRF, now Water Research Foundation) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, o

19、r in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states. Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various refer

20、ences, including two standards developed under the * American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036.

Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 60. Individual states or local

22、 agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdiction. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 60 does not stipulate a maximum allowab

23、le level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A p

24、rocedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier. ANSI/AWWA B202 addresses additives requirements in Sec. 4.3 of the standard. The transfer of contaminants from chemicals to processed water or to residual solids is becoming a problem of great concern. The language in Sec. 4.3.2 is a

25、 recommenda- tion only for direct additives used in the treatment of potable water to be certified by an accredited certification organization in accordance with NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects. However, users of the standard may opt to make this certification a require

26、ment for the product. Users of this standard should also consult the appropriate state or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products for contact wi

27、th, or treatment of, drinking water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. II. Special Issues. II.A. Calcium Oxide. The amount of available calcium oxide (CaO) varies in limes. Many methods are available for evaluating the available CaO in lime. Some give consistently low result

28、s, some are rather time-consuming, and some do not give reproducible results. The method included in this standard is reasonably rapid and reproducible and gives results that are consistent with the available CaO content obtained in use in water treatment. Other methods may be used. The method of an

29、alysis for available CaO content presented in this standard has been found by many users to be satisfactory as a basis for the purchase of lime for water treatment. Usable results will be obtained by this method only if the acid is carefully * NSF International, 789 N. Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48

Some water utility personnel still believe that a better evaluation of lime can be m

31、ade and that more accurate results can be obtained by determining total CaO. In addition to available CaO, such an analysis determines CaO present as calcium car- bonatea factor of little importance in water treatment. For those who prefer the total CaO method, and for those who wish to make a compl

32、ete analysis, the methods outlined in ASTM* C25, Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Limestone, Quicklime, and Hydrated Lime, are recommended. The amount of available CaO varies in limes from different geographic regions. Factors such as source of rock, manufacturing conditions, type of k

33、iln, type of fuel, and even personnel have an effect on product quality. II.B. Lime. A lime that slakes at a rate consistent with plant equipment is more economical to use and less difficult to handle. A slaking-rate test to determine the reactivity of lime is included in this standard. This procedu

34、re was devised to control the variables that occur in the test, thus improving the reproducibility of results. The results of the slaking-rate test on a given quicklime should be correlated with the performance of the lime in the slaker. The slaking requirement for the lime can then be specified. Be

35、cause most modern lime-slaking equipment contains devices for the removal of grit, sand, pebbles, and other coarse inert material and because overloading of the grit- removing devices is undesirable, a test for insoluble matter is provided in this standard. II.C. Magnesium and Insoluble Material. Th

36、is standard sets no limit on magnesium because keeping the available CaO content within the specified limit should address any excess magnesium problem adequately. No provision is made for high-magnesium lime for the specific reason that such lime is not suited for water treatment. Although insolubl

37、e matter (iron and aluminum) can cause turbidity when lime is applied to filtered water or to a water supply not to be filtered, no limit is set for these constituents because turbidity problems can be overcome by adding the lime as a saturated solution. If such a procedure is impractical, individua

38、l treatment plants may need to set up limits for total insoluble matter, iron, and aluminum when purchasing lime. This condition occurs so rarely that a provision for it in this standard is unwarranted. The test for insolubles included in this standard determines only those insolubles that are coars

39、e enough to be retained in the slaker or grit remover. Likewise, * ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428. Copyright 2013 American Water Works Association. All Rights Reserved. x no mention is made of the character of insoluble matter, assuming that its composition wi

40、ll not affect the application of lime if done using a dry-feed machine. II.D. Size and Marking. Sizes of lime are established in the standard to meet the requirements of various types of feed equipment. Alternatively, purchasers may set size requirements to meet specific conditions. A change in size

41、 requirements should be made only after consultation with the manufacturer of the feed equipment being used. The standard also does not require the date of manufacture to be stamped on the bags in which the hydrated lime is shipped; it is assumed that the material will be delivered to the point of u

42、se in a condition to be handled readily in a dry-feed machine. II.E. Purchase Basis. This standard describes only limes composed mainly of calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. Special limes, such as dolomitic limes for the removal of silica, are not included. Thus, for the purchase of lime of a diffe

43、rent chemical composition, the purchaser must provide specifications describing the kind of material desired. For lime of any type, the purchaser may specify the method of manufacture to be used in making the lime. Lime should be purchased according to the following industry-recommended guidelines:

44、1. Quicklime. In general, quicklime contains about 90 percent available CaO in the material provided, although greater or lower percentages of available CaO can be used. The quicklime should slake satisfactorily, based on the systems design. Satisfactory “quick-slaking” lime will usually produce a t

45、emperature rise of 40C (72F) in 3 min, and the slaking reaction will be complete in 10 min or less when the lime is tested according to Sec. 5.4 of this standard. Satisfactory quicklime for water treatment will slake without production of objec- tionable amounts of insoluble material. 2. Hydrated li

46、me. In general, hydrated lime contains 68 percent available CaO (which is equivalent to 89.8 percent calcium hydroxide) content in the material provided, although higher or lower percentages of available CaO can be used. II.F. Sampling. Production-statistical process control testing is being used in

47、creasingly as a substitute for per-load sampling and testing and may be used as an alternative. Current good laboratory practices require documentation of the handling of all samples from the time they are first collected until they are introduced as evidence in possible legal proceedings. Chain-of-custody procedures are followed to maintain and document control of sample possession. An in-depth discussion of chain-of-custody Copyright 2013 American Water Works Association.
