17、Total CarbonThecarbon dioxide is measured quantitatively by an electronicdetection system calibrated against an appropriate referencestandard (see Test Methods D 5373).4.2 Carbonate CarbonThe determination of carbonatecarbon is made by decomposing a weighed quantity of thesample with a dilute minera
18、l acid, and after the purification ofthe evolved gases, measuring quantitatively the evolved carbondioxide.4.2.1 Absorptive Determination of Carbonate CarbonThecarbon dioxide is liberated by acidification and heating. Theevolved gases are passed through a purification train and theCO2is fixed as Na2
19、CO3on a preweighed absorption unit andis measured gravimetrically (see Test Method D 1756).4.2.2 Coulometric Determination of Carbonate CarbonThe carbon dioxide is liberated by acidification and heating.The evolved gas is swept through a scrubber and into anabsorption cell where it is coulometricall

This test
21、method resembles that for the instrumentaldetermination of total carbon, with the provision for samplecombustion replaced by a provision for acidification. In prac-tice, this test method uses an adaptation to instruments de-signed to measure total carbon content.4.3 Combustible Carbon by Prior Acidi
22、ficationThe deter-mination of combustible carbon is made directly by firstacidifying and heating to dryness a weighed sample. Allcarbonate carbon present is evolved as carbon dioxide. Thedried sample is then analyzed for total carbon content as above.No determination of carbonate carbon is made and
23、the carboncontent measured as total carbon is the combustible carbon.5. Significance and Use5.1 The combustible carbon content of solid residues is usedto calculate efficiency of fuel combustion in boiler furnaces andsimilar combustors.5.2 Combustible carbon values are also used to determinethe resi
24、dual fuel value of incompletely combusted/reacted coaland coke in other reactors that consume carbonaceous fuels(examples include fluidized bed furnaces and liquefaction,gasification and pyrolysis reactors).5.3 The combustible carbon content of flyash is an impor-tant parameter in the use of flyash
25、as a cement additive.6. Interferences6.1 The interferences for the determination of total carboncontent are those specified in the referenced standard methods,Test Methods D 3178 and Test Methods D 5373, with thefollowing added stipulation.6.1.1 The temperature and conditions of combustion thatensur
26、e complete conversion of a residue samples total carboncontent to carbon dioxide may be different than those requiredfor conversion in coal samples. It is absolutely imperative thatthe instrumental conditions used will ensure complete conver-sion of mineral carbonate in any amount or form.6.2 The in
27、terferences for the determination of carbonatecarbon are those specified in the referenced methods, TestMethod D 1756 and Part B of Test Methods D 513 with thefollowing stipulation6.2.1 Some coal combustion residues contain significantamounts of reactive elements such as CaO which will absorbcarbon
28、dioxide on exposure to open air and form mineralcarbonates. This will influence the calculated amount ofcombustible carbon in the sample only if there was carbondioxide chemisorption from the air between the time of thecarbonate determination and the total carbon determination.Therefore, it is neces
29、sary that the sample be protected from airexposure.6.3 The mineral acid and temperature required for prioracidification of the analytical sample shall not interfere withthe amount of combustible carbon present in the sample or theanalytical determination of carbon. The use of oxidizing acidssuch as
30、concentrated nitric acid may oxidize a portion of thecombustible carbon. Other acids such as hydrochloric acid maybe incompatible with the reagents used to purify the gas streamin the instrumental determination of carbon. Sulfuric acid hasa relatively high boiling point and is difficult to remove fr
31、omthe sample by drying. A solution of 10 % nitric acid issuggested for use in this procedure.7. Apparatus7.1 The apparatus used is specified in the respective refer-enced method.7.2 Total Carbon Content:7.2.1 Absorptive Determination of Total CarbonThe ap-paratus consists of an oxygen-purifying trai
32、n, combustion unit,and absorption train of the type and configuration specified inTest Methods D 3178.7.2.2 Instrumental Determination of Total CarbonBecause a variety of instrumental components and configura-tions can be used satisfactorily for these test methods, nospecifications are presented her
33、e with respect to overall systemdesign. However, the apparatus shall be capable of completelyconverting the carbon content to carbon dioxide, and thedetection system shall determine the carbon dioxide individu-ally and without interference.7.3 Carbonate Carbon Content:7.3.1 Absorptive Determination
34、of Carbonate CarbonTheapparatus shall consist of an air purifying train, reaction unit,and absorption unit of the type and configuration specified inTest Method D 1756.7.3.2 Coulometric Determination of Carbonate CarbonThe apparatus shall consist of an evolution unit, a carbondioxide coulometer, scr
35、ubber, and pH meter of the type andconfiguration specified in Part B of Test Methods D 513.D 6316 09b27.3.3 Instrumental Determination of Carbonate CarbonThe apparatus shall consist of a heated acidification unit that isinstalled by bypassing the combustion system in a devicedesigned for the determi
36、nation of total carbon content. Thegas-purifying system of such instrument shall be capable ofcompletely removing the water content and acid gases pro-duced as byproducts of the carbon dioxide evolution. Thedetection system shall measure the evolved carbon dioxide asan individual species and without
37、 interference.7.4 Combustible Carbon by Prior AcidificationThe cru-cibles used for this method must be free of carbonate, inert tothe mineral acid used, and compatible with the instrument usedfor measuring total carbon. The acidified sample is heated todryness using a laboratory hotplate capable of
38、maintaining thefine temperature control required to dry the sample withoutmaterial loss of sample as a result of spattering or boilover. Theinstrument used shall meet the requirements of Test MethodsD 5373 and be capable of removing the additional acid gasesthat result from the mineral acid used for
39、 evolving the carbondioxide before determining carbon content.8. Reagents8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American C
40、hemical Society,where such specifications are available.5Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.9. Standards9.1 There are currently no standard reference materials o
41、fcoal or coke residues that are certified for combustible carbonor carbonate carbon content. However, other types of standardmaterials can be used for both method validation and instru-ment calibration. These include:9.1.1 Buffalo River Sediment (NIST 2704)Total carbon =3.348 6 0.016 %.9.1.2 Carbona
42、te Primary Standard GradeFor example,CaCO3total carbonate carbon = 12.00 %.9.1.3 CoalBituminous (NIST 1632b) total carbon = 76.866 0.26 %.9.1.4 EDTA Primary Standard GradeTotal carbon =41.07 %.10. Sample Preparation10.1 If moist or wet, the combustion residue sample6will bepredried at 107 6 3C. Dryi
43、ng time should be the minimumrequired to ensure complete dryness of the sample to minimizeabsorption of carbon dioxide from the air (see 6.2.1).10.2 The method of sample preparation used is specified inthe respective referenced method.10.3 Samples in excess of 50 g should be divided by rifflingto en
44、sure a representative analysis sample. Samples of 50 g orless should be prepared in their entirety.10.4 The analysis sample shall initially be prepared to passthrough a 250-m (# 60 U.S. standard) sieve. If required by thecharacteristics of the instrument system or analytical precisionof the resultin
45、g data or both, the analysis sample should beground to pass through a 75-m (# 200 U.S. standard) sieve.711. Instrument Preparation and Verification11.1 The preparation of equipment and instruments is speci-fied in the respective referenced methods and the manufactur-ers instructions.11.2 The proper
46、functioning of the equipment and theoperational parameters should be verified by analyzing blanksand standard materials that contain carbonate carbon andcombustible carbon.11.2.1 The proper combustion temperature and conditionsnecessary to convert the carbonate carbon to carbon dioxidemay be determi
47、ned by measuring the carbon content of acarbonate standard. Measured carbon values of less than thecertified value indicate incomplete conversion of carbonates.11.2.2 Combustion accelerants such as magnesium powder,thermite (aluminum powder and iron oxide), and tin powdercan be used to ensure the to
48、tal conversion of carbonates tocarbon dioxide by significantly raising the reaction temperatureduring combustion.12. Procedure12.1 Calibrate the instruments using the methods describedin the referenced methods.12.1.1 The calibration range for these measurements shouldbe in the range of expected carb
