No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 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

Summary of Test Method3.1 The percent acid extractable content of an activatedcarbon sample is determined by the difference between thepercent mass of total ash of a sample and the percent mass oftotal ash of a sample which

8、has been acid extracted.4. Significance and Use4.1 The quantitative determination of acid extractable con-tent is useful in evaluating activated carbon samples thatcontain acid soluble impurities. These acid soluble impuritiescan affect applications of activated carbon.4.2 Limitations of MethodHydro

9、chloric acid is used inthis test method as the extracting acid. All elements orcompounds present in the activated carbon sample, which canbe acid extracted, are assumed to form water soluble chloridesalts. Hydrochloric acid may not solubilize all impurities ofactivated carbon.5. Apparatus5.1 250-mL

Reagents6.1 Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid, ACS reagent grade isrecommended, 37 % HC1 w/w 6 2%.6.2 ASTM Type II water, or better is recommended for lowresidue content. Whenever water is used i

17、n this test method,Type II or better is implied.7. Test Sample7.1 A test sample or samples should be representative of thematerial being tested in accordance with Practice E300.Samples should be uniformly dried to a constant weight beforeproceeding with this test method. If drying is not possible, t

18、henpercent moisture should be determined by Test Method D2867and the appropriate correction to the sample weight should bemade.8. Procedure8.1 A representative sample or samples should be ground ormilled so that 95 % or more of the sampled mass will be passedthrough a No. 325 U.S. mesh screen. Retai

20、carbon in the beaker in the follow-ing order: slowly add 100 mL (6 1 mL) of water, then slowlyadd 25 mL (6 1 mL) of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Swirlbeaker to wet sample thoroughly.8.6 Place the beaker and contents on a hot plate and bring toa boil, maintaining boiling for at least 5 min. A watc

24、 Test Method D2866.9. Calculation of Result9.1 The acid extractable content as previously defined iscalculated as follows (correction for water content is necessaryif the sample was not dried before ashing):Acid Extractable Content %!5 A 2 B! (1)where:A = Percent total ash content of activated carbo

25、n sample asdetermined by Test Method D2866.B = Percent total ash content of acid extracted sample, alsoas determined by Test Method D2866.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Based on limited information from one laboratory, therepeatability standard deviation and 95 % repeatability limitsare as follows:Repea

26、tability Standard Deviation: 9.3 % (2)95 % Repeatability Limits: 0.90 (3)10.2 The percent acid soluble ash is dependent on thepercent total ash content of the original sample. The precisionand repeatability of Test Method D2866 also is a factor in therepeatability of this test method.11. Keywords11.
