1、Designation: D 2862 97 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forParticle Size Distribution of Granular Activated Carbon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2862; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the

3、 determination of the particlesize distribution of granular activated carbon. For the purposesof this test, granular activated carbon is defined as a minimumof 90 % of the sample weight being retained on a 180-mStandard sieve.AU.S. mesh 80 sieve is equivalent to a 180mStandard sieve.NOTE 1For extrud

4、ed carbons, as the length/diameter ratio of theparticles increases, the validity of the test results might be affected.1.2 The data obtained may also be used to calculate meanparticle diameter (MPD), effective size, and uniformity coef-ficient.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the

5、safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method3.1 A known weight of granular activated carbon is placedon the top sieve of a stacked se

7、t of U.S. Standard sieves andshaken under standard conditions for a specific time period,after which the weight percent of the total retained on eachsieve and bottom pan is determined.4. Significance and Use4.1 It is necessary to know the distribution of particle sizesof granular activated carbon in

8、 order to provide proper contactof gases or liquid in a packed bed of the material. Changes inparticle size distribution can affect the pressure drop across thebed and the rate of adsorption in a bed of a given size.4.2 Mean particle diameter is a property of activated car-bons that influences press

9、ure drop.4.3 Effective size and uniformity coefficient are two prop-erties of activated carbons often of interest in municipal watertreatment applications where control of particle size is ofinterest.5. Apparatus5.1 Mechanical Sieve Shaker3This is a mechanicallyoperated sieve shaker that imparts a u

10、niform rotating andtapping motion to a stack of 8-in. (203-mm or equivalent)sieves as described in 5.2. The sieve shaker should be adjustedto accommodate the desired number of sieves, receiver pan,and sieve cover. The bottom stops should be adjusted to give aclearance of approximately116 in. (1.5 mm

11、) between the uppercarrying plate stops and the sieve cover plate, so that the sieveswill be free to rotate. The sieve shaker shall be powered with14-hp (186-W) electric motor producing 1725 to 1750 rpm. Thesieve shaker should produce 140 to 160 raps per minute withthe striker arm and 280 to 320 rot

12、ating motions per minute ofthe sieve stack. The cover plate shall be fitted with a corkstopper that shall extend14 618 in. (6.35 6 3.18 mm) abovethe metal recess. At no time shall any material other than corkbe permitted.5.2 SievesU.S. Standard sieves or equivalent conformingto Specification E11. Th

13、e sieves shall be either 2 in. (51 mm)(full height) or 1 in. (25 mm.) (half height) in height, and 8 in.(203 mm or equivalent) in diameter.5.3 Bottom Receiver Pan and Top Sieve Cover.5.4 Interval Timer, adjustable, with an accuracy of 610 s.5.5 Sample Splitter, single-stage riffle type.5.6 Balance,

Procedure7.1 Stack the sieves to be used on the bottom receiver pan inorder of increasing sieve opening from bott

20、om to top.7.2 Prepare a sample of activated carbon as follows:7.2.1 Mix the gross sample, obtained by Practice E 300,bypassing it through a single-stage riffle type sample splitter andrecombining twice. Then pass the mixed sample through theriffle so as to obtain an approximate 250-mL of sample.7.2.

21、2 Using the apparent density apparatus described in TestMethod D 2854, obtain a test sample of 200 mL from eachsample. If the apparent density is less than 0.35 g/cc, a 50 gsample will be adequate, greater than 0.35 g/cc, use a samplenot to exceed 100 g. In all cases, volume of the sample shouldnot

22、exceed 200 ml.NOTE 2If the apparent density of the sample has been determined, acalculated weight of sample equivalent to 200 6 10 mL may be used foreach of the riffled samples.7.2.3 Weigh each sample to the nearest 0.1 g.7.3 . Transfer the weighed sample to the top sieve.7.4 Install the sieve cover

23、 and transfer the assembly to thesieve shaker.7.5 Allow the sieve assembly to shake for 10 min 6 10 swith the hammer operating.7.6 Remove the sieve assembly from the sieve shaker andquantitatively transfer, using the sieve brush, the activated4W.

Calculation8.1 Add the weights of each sieve fraction; if the sumdeviates more than 2.0 g from the sample weight, the analysesshould be repeated.8.2 Calculate the particle size distribution of each sample tothe nearest 0.1 % a

26、nd the average of the two samples to thenearest 0.1 % as follows:R 5 F/S! 3 100where:F = sieve fraction weight,S = sum of sieve fraction weights, andR = percent retained on each fraction.8.3 If effective mean particle diameter is of interest, it maybe calculated from the following equation by using

27、the percentretained in each sieve fraction from the particle size distribu-tion analysis. See Table 1.P 5 R 3 NEffective MPD mm!5(P100where:R = percent retained in a sieve fraction,N = factor for a given sieve fraction (Table1),P = effective mean particle size of a givensieve fraction, andEffective

28、MPD = effective mean particle diameter of thesample.8.3.1 See Table 2 for an example of effective MPD calcu-lation.8.4 If effective size and uniformity coefficient are of inter-est, they may be calculated as shown in Table 3 from thecumulative total of the percent passing through each sieve.8.4.1 Pl

The sieve sizeopenings can be obtained from Specification E11. See Table 1.8.4.2 Determine the effective size by reading the screen sizeopening in

30、 mm corresponding to the point where the curveintersects the 10 % passing value. See Fig. 1.8.4.3 Calculate the uniformity coefficient by reading thescreen size opening in millimetres corresponding to the pointwhere the curve intersects the 60 % passing value and dividingthis value by the effective

31、size value from 8.4.2, for example:uniformity coefficient 5value mm! 60 % intersectionvalue mm! 10 % intersectionNOTE 3The lower the uniformity coefficient value, the more uniformthe granular activated carbon. If all the particles were exactly the samesize, the uniformity coefficient would be 1.9. R

35、BThe mean particle size of each sieve fraction is assumed to be the average ofthe sieve opening in millimetres through which the material has passed and thesieve opening in millimetres on which the material was retained. In the case ofparticles larger than those measured, the mean particle size of t

36、his fraction isassumed to be the average of the opening of the sieve actually used and that ofthe next larger sieve in the =2 series. In the case of particles smaller than theopening of the smallest sieve, the mean particle size of this fraction is assumed tobe the average of the opening of the smal

37、lest sieve and that of the next smallersieve in the =2 series.
