Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms related to water,refer to Terminology D1129.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of exhausting a c
7、olumn ofregenerated mixed bed ion exchange material to a specific endpoint with an influent solution of known composition andvolume.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used to evaluate unused mixedbed ion exchange materials for conformance to specifications.When a representative sampl
8、e of the mixed bed can beobtained from an operating unit, this test method can be usedto evaluate the regeneration efficiency by comparison with thesame data obtained with new material from the same manu-factured lots, or retained samples of the in-place products.5.2 This test method provides for th
9、e calculation of capacityin terms of the volume of water treated to a conductivity endpoint.5.3 The test method as written assumes that the cationexchange material has been regenerated to the hydrogen formwith acid and the anion exchange material has been regener-ated with alkali to the hydroxide or
10、 free-base form. In certainapplications a cation exchange material in the potassium,ammonium, or other monovalent form may be encountered.Such materials may be tested following this procedure usingTest Water A (Test Methods D1782) as the influent andsubstituting the hardness end point (Test Methods
11、D1782) forthe end points prescribed herein.5.4 In most cases the product tested will be properly mixedand will contain the correct proportions of anion and cationexchange materials. However, if the pH as well as theconductivity of the effluent is measured, the test method willindicate which of the c
12、omponents is present in excess; an acideffluent at breakthrough indicating an excess of regeneratedcation exchange groups and an alkaline effluent an excess ofregenerated anion exchange groups. In such cases the volumesof the two components obtained in the final backwash willindicate whether this im
13、balance arises from improper regen-eration or from an improper ratio of the two components. Itshould be noted, however, that not all units are charged with abalanced ratio of anion-exchanging and cation-exchanging1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Waterand is the di

Hence, wherever possible, a field sample should beevaluated in comparison with a retained sample of the originalcharge.5.5 This test method provides for the calculation of capacityon either a wet weight basis or a volume basis. Although suchmaterials are normally bought and sold in terms
17、 of cubic feet,they are actually packaged in wet pounds. Therefore, it is thecapacity on a wet weight basis that is directly correlatable tothe amount of material in a given shipment.5.6 Calculation of a volume capacity is based on theexhausted, separated volume of the components after back-washing
18、and resettling the bed. This volume is chosen becauseit is difficult, if not impossible, to pack a sample of regeneratedmixed bed material in a small-diameter column reproducibly.5.7 This test method may be used to test mixed bed resincartridges. In such cases the flow rate of test water and thefreq
19、uency of sampling must be varied to compensate for theapproximate volume of resin in the test sample. The test aswritten assumes a resin volume of approximately 330 mL.6.

Sampling8.1 For sampling refer to Practices D2687.8.2 When sampling new mixed bed materials the drum-to-drum uniformity of the mixing is an important factor, partic

Where thesequence of filling is known such samples should include
39、 thefirst and the last container filled.9. Procedure9.1 Weigh 270 6 1 g of the moist, as received, mixed bedion exchange material, and record weight to the nearest 0.1 g.Introduce through the backwash line about 25 mm of water tothe column. Place about 25 mL of the sample in a large-stemmed plastic
40、funnel inserted in the top of the column. Washthe portion of sample into the column with a minimum ofwater. Repeat until all the sample is transferred into thecolumn. Care must be exercised that no stratification takesplace during the filling procedure. Maintain the water level inthe column about 10
41、 mm over the bed level to minimize airtrapping.3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

(USPC), Rockville,MD.D3375 1639.2 When all the mixed bed ion exchange material has beentransferred slowly introduce test water D at the top of thecolumn. Increase the flow rate to 100 mL/min
43、, adjusting therate as required with a flow regulator in the effluent line.9.3 Measure and record the effluent conductivity accordingto Test Methods D1125 every 2 L. Continue until the 1.0 S/cmvalue is passed, then record readings for each 500 mL ofeffluent until two successive readings greater than
44、 50 S/cm(20 000 cm) are obtained.9.4 When the effluent conductivity exceeds 1.0 S/cm (1Mcm), measure the pH of the effluent according to TestMethods D1293. Continue the pH measurements at the samefrequency as the conductivity measurements.9.5 When the conductivity exceeds 50 S/cm (20 000cm), stop th
45、e flow of test water and record the total volume(V) of test water used in litres.9.6 Open the backwash valves and backwash the bed withwater for 10 min at a flow rate sufficient to maintain a 50 %expansion of the bed. Stop the flow of water and allow the bedto settle. Drain at the rate of 100 mL/min
46、 until the water levelis 20 to 30 mm above the bed. Do not jar. Record the bedvolume in millilitres. Repeat the backwash and drain procedureuntil two successive readings of the resettled bed volume agreewithin 5 mL. Record the average volume as S mL.10. Calculation10.1 The operating capacity may be
47、calculated on either avolume or wet weight basis using a conductivity end point.10.2 Calculate the operating capacity to the conductivityend point on a volume basis as follows:Capacity, meq/mL 5 C 3V/S (3)where:C = total electrolytes in test water D expressed in mil-liequivalents per litre as determ
48、ined in 7.4.2,V = volume of test water used, litres, measured in 9.5, andS = volume of sample measured in 9.6.This capacity may be converted to kilograins per cubic footas CaCO3by multiplying by 21.8.10.3 Calculate the operating capacity to the conductivityend point on a wet weight basis as follows:
49、Capacity, meq/g wet 5 C 3V/270 (4)where C and V are defined as in 10.2.NOTE 3Other end points may be agreed upon. When this is done thespecies and level selected should be specified with the results.11. Report11.1 The report of results of this test method should includenot only the capacity as calculated above but the end pointused. For certification purposes the averaging of results fromthree separate samples is customary. However, when samplesfrom individual drums are analyzed the individual results aswell as the average should be reported.12. Precis
