Summary of Practice4.1 This practice consists of the determination of the ad-sorptive capacity of activated carbon for

9、adsorbable constitu-ents by contacting the aqueous solution with activated carbon,determining the amount of the constituents removed, andcalculating the adsorptive capacity from a Freundlich isothermplot.4.1.1 Sample weights of activated carbon may have to beadjusted, depending on the concentration

10、of adsorbable con-stituents in the water.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is used when activated carbon is consid-ered as an adsorbent in treating water. Since both granular andpowdered activated carbons are commercially available, astandard practice is needed to ensure that the activated ca

11、rbonsare evaluated under the same test conditions. Specified particlesize carbon is to be used to ensure that the same test conditionsare used. The practice is generally performed at 20C; how-ever, other temperatures may be used and noted.6. Interferences6.1 The water sample must not contain any imm

12、iscible oil.6.2 Generally, membrane filters contain a slight amount ofleachable surfactants and wetting agents that might be a sourceof detectable error in waters having low concentrations ofadsorbable constituents.7. Apparatus7.1 Agitator, able to keep slurried activated carbon insuspension.NOTE 1A

13、 wrist-action shaker or a magnetic stirrer is suitable as anagitator.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-28 on ActivatedCarbon and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D28.02 on Liquid PhaseEvaluation Tests.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2003.

Procedure9.1 Table 1 is a suggested list of the activated carbonweights and solution sample volumes to be used for theexpected concentrations of adsorbable constituents. Suggestedcarbon weights or solution sample volum

19、es should be adjustedto obtain a maximum of 85 % adsorbate removal and aminimum of 10 % adsorbate removal.9.2 For water containing 10 mg/L adsorbable constituents,pipet aliquots of 100 mL each into 500-mL glass-stopperedErlenmeyer flasks. For water containing |La10 mg/L, measure500-mL aliquots into

20、1000-mL glass-stoppered Erlenmeyerflasks.9.3 Add to the containers the appropriate amount of pulver-ized activated carbon corrected to dry basis (Table 1) in regularintervals to allow time for filtration. Generally, a 5-min intervalis adequate. Use one flask without activated carbon for acontrol sam

21、ple.9.4 After the addition of each activated carbon sample, swirlthe flask to wet the carbon. Stopper the flask and place on theagitator. Record the time.9.5 Allow each flask to shake or agitate for2hinawaterbath at the desired temperature. Two hours contact time isnormally sufficient to achieve ste

22、ady state. However, a contacttime study should be performed to verify that steady state isachieved (see 4.1).9.6 After 2 h, immediately filter each test and controlsamples through separate new 0.40 to 0.45-m membranefilters.NOTE 2If the water sample contains volatile constituents, use pres-sure filt
