1、Designation: D 4422 03 (Reapproved 2008)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forAsh in Analysis of Petroleum Coke1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4422; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisi

2、on, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the ashcontent of petroleum coke.1.2 The values stated in

3、 SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and heal

Summary of Test Method3.1 A re

5、presentative sample of petroleum coke is dried,ground, and ashed in a muffle furnace at 700 to 750C. Theresidue or ash is expressed as a percentage of the dry petroleumcoke.4. Significance and Use4.1 The ash content is one of the properties used to evaluatepetroleum coke and indicates the amount of

6、undesirableresidue present. Acceptable ash content varies with the in-tended use.5. Interferences5.1 High sulfur content of the furnace gases, regardless ofthe source of the sulfur, can react with an alkaline ash toproduce erratic results. The furnace must be swept with air toachieve oxidation and t

7、o decrease the sulfur content of thegases.5.2 Preparation and testing of the analysis sample mustneither remove nor add ash. Improper dividing, sieving, andcrushing equipment, and some muffle furnace lining materialcan contaminate the sample.6. Apparatus6.1 Crucibles, low wide form glazed porcelain

8、or platinum,30-mL capacity.6.2 Muffle Furnace, with temperature control between 700and 750C and equipped with a means to regulate air circula-tion.6.3 Analytical Balance capable of weighing to 0.1 mg.6.4 Drying Oven controlled at 110 6 5C.6.5 Desiccator.7. Sample Preparation7.1 Crush the laboratory

9、sample to pass a 6.3-mm sieve. Ifthe quantity exceeds 2.3 kg, divide the sample to obtain about2.3 kg and crush this fraction to pass a 850-m (No. 20) sieve.Further divide the sample to obtain a portion of approximately200 g and crush to pass a 250-m (No. 60) sieve. Divide againto obtain approximate

10、ly 50 g and pulverize this fraction suchthat 95 % or more passes a 75-m (No. 200) sieve. This is theanalysis sample which is dried to constant weight at 110 65C.NOTE 1If the laboratory sample appears to be wet it must be air-driedprior to crushing to avoid caking.NOTE 2Recommended practice for colle

11、cting samples and the equip-ment and procedures for crushing and dividing are described in PracticesD 346 and D 2013.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 The muffle furnace, when initially set up, must be testedfor adequate air circulation. The air flow is adequate if replicatesamples do not produce a low

12、er ash at higher air flow rates withthe same furnace loading. Maintain air flow at the same levelfor subsequent analyses to ensure consistency in analyticaltechnique.9. Procedure9.1 Ignite a coded crucible to constant weight at 750C.Record the mass to 0.1 mg.9.2 Weigh a 10 g portion of the dried ana

13、lysis sample intothe coded crucible. Record the mass to 0.1 mg.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD02.05 on Properties of Fuels, Petroleum Coke and Carbon Material.Current edition appro
