1、Designation: D 4981 08Standard Test Method forScreening of Oxidizers in Waste1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4981; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parent

2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is intended for use prior to preparationof waste samples for organic analysis. Waste samples that haveoxidizing compounds may react wi

3、th certain reagents in thelaboratory (for example, organic solvents).1.2 This test method is applicable to the analysis of wasteliquids, sludges, and solids.1.3 This test method can neither identify specific oxidizingcompounds nor measure concentrations. Since no acid or baseis added in this test me

4、thod, potential oxidizers that require thepresence of acid or base will not be detected by this testmethod.1.4 It is recommended that, prior to this test, waste samplesbe screened for water compatibility; see Test Methods D 5058.1.5 This test method is designed and intended as a prelimi-nary test to

5、 complement quantitative analytical techniques thatmay be used to determine the presence of oxidizers in wastes.This test method offers the ability to screen waste for poten-tially hazardous reactions due to oxidizer content when themore sophisticated techniques are not available or the totalwaste c

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 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 stan

9、mary of Test Method4.1 A small portion of the sample is placed onto a strip ofpotassium iodide (KI) starch paper. The blue color which is theresult of oxidizing the potassium iodide to iodine (I2)inthepresence of starch, indicates a positive test for oxidizers.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test me

10、thod is intended for use by those in wastemanagement industries to avoid potentially harmful reactionsdue to oxidizing compounds in wastes.6. Interferences6.1 Materials that mask the KI starch paper, (for example,oils, syrups, etc.) prevent reaction with the test paper or visualdetection of a color

11、change.6.2 Samples or slurries of samples that are already darkcolored prior to applying a test portion to the KI starch papercan give false results.6.3 Oxidizers such as ferric salts may not oxidize organics;however, they may show positive reactions with KI.6.4 Oxidizers that require the presence o

12、f acid or base willgive a false negative result. To overcome this problem, run theoxidizer test at acid, base, and neutral pH conditions.7.
