Summary of Test Method4.1 Volatile matter is determined by establishing the loss inmass resulting from heating an activated carbon sample underrigidly control

6、led conditions. The measured mass loss, cor-rected for moisture as determined in Test Method D 2867,establishes the volatile matter content of the activated carbonsample.5. Significance and Use5.1 Volatile matter, when determined as herein described,may be used as a relative measure of the extent of

7、 carboniza-tion in an activated carbon and the extent of loading of volatilematerial on an activated carbon that has been used in anadsorption application.5.2 Combined with other information, the volatile matter ofan activated carbon may be useful in evaluating its perfor-mance in an adsorption appl

8、ication.5.3 Other automated methods for the determination of thevolatile content of solids, such as using a thermogravimetricanalyzer (TGA), can be used in place of this test method withequally reliable results.6. Apparatus6.1 Crucible and Cover, high temperature porcelain, highform, 30 cc capacity.

If the as-received sample iswet, drain it of all free liquid before the representative sampleis taken.8.2 Weigh to 0.1 mg accuracy a crucible and cover that havebeen ignited in a muffle furnace regulated at 950C for 30 minand cooled in a desiccator. Record the wei

18、oratory study of this test method wasconducted in 1996. Each of seven laboratories tested threerandomly drawn specimens from each of three different acti-vated carbons containing volatile matter content. Carbon A wasa coconut shell gas phase carbon containing gasoline vapors.Carbon B was a coal base

19、d liquid phase carbon containingorganic components from gasoline. Carbon C was a coconutshell vapor phase carbon containing chlorinated organic com-pounds. The average volatile matter contents were 24.7 %,9.1 % and 12.9 %, respectively. In order to determine thevolatile matter content of the samples

20、, their moisture contentswere determined according to Test Method D 2867 and werefound to be 3.54 %, 35.2 % and 3.87 %, respectively. PracticeE 691 and E 691 computer software were used to design thestudy and analyze the resulting data.10.2 95 % Limit on Repeatability (Within Laboratory), %:Activate
