Summary of Practice4.1 This practice describes the procedures and protocols tofollow in order to collect fugitive emission/environmentalsamples and identify if these samples contain materials con-sistent or inconsistent with manufactured carbon bl

23、ack (re-ferred to simply as carbon black).4.2 Section 6 provides guidelines for proper sampling andhandling of fugitive emission/environmental samples. Section7 describes the analysis of the sample using transmissionelectron microscopy (TEM). This analysis is critical in deter-mining if the collecte

24、d sample is consistent or inconsistent withthe morphology of carbon black. Use of this analysis ismandatory in applying this practice. Section 8 describesadditional ancillary techniques that may be included in asample analysis for purposes of providing supporting informa-tion as to the nature of the

25、 sample material. These aresituation-dependent methods and can provide critical identifi-cation information in certain cases.4.3 A block diagram is presented in Fig. 1 to give a possiblescheme to follow in performing this analysis. However, itshould be noted that this scheme is a suggestion, not are

26、quirement.5. Significance and Use5.1 Particulate emissions are major contributors to air con-tamination in industrial and urban environments. Soot isformed as an unwanted by-product of combustion and conse-quently varies widely with the type of fuel and combustionconditions. Carbon black, on the oth

27、er hand, is purposelyproduced under a controlled set of conditions. Therefore, it isimportant to be able to distinguish carbon black from soot, aswell as other environmental contaminants.6. Sampling6.1 The area to be sampled must be representative of thecontaminated area. For sampling, choose an are

28、a that appearsto contain black particulates. The same general surface shouldbe used for gathering all test samples for each property sitelocation.6.2 Equipment:6.2.1 Polyester/Cotton Balls or Glass Fiber Pads.FIG. 1 Block Diagram of Suggested Analysis Scheme forSamplesD6602 03b (2010)126.2.2 Sticky

Precautionsshould be taken to carefully collect, handle, and transportsamples in a manner that will not cau

30、se further contamination.6.3.1 Technique I:Collect the sample by rubbing the surface to be sampled witha pre-weighed polyester ball or glass fiber filter pad with a lightback-and-forth motion to remove surface particulates andsolids. Do not try to remove “old” or aged contaminants fromthe surface. L

31、ight pressure on the ball or pad should besufficient. Place the exposed ball or pad in a plastic bag andlabel.6.3.2 Technique II:Remove particulates and solids from surfaces by placing anappropriate length of sticky tape on the surface to be sampled.Carefully remove the tape and place across a petri

32、 dish openingor in a polyethylene bag. All samples collected must be clearlyidentified at the time of collection. This technique may be usedfor samples intended for further examination via light micros-copy or X-ray spectroscopy or both.6.3.3 All collected samples must be clearly identified at theti

33、me of collection. Measure the surface area sampled to thenearest 60.25 cm2(each measurement has to be taken to thenearest 60.5 cm) and record the measurement in Table 1.These samples may be used for microscopy and TGA analysis.Please note that if TGA analysis is a possibility, the samplesshould be c

34、ollected on the fiber pad instead of the polyesterball.6.4 At the time of sample collection, complete a samplingand meteorology record (Table 2) and also complete a chain ofcustody record (Table 1).6.5 This practice does not preclude examination of samplescollected by other means than the preceding,

35、 such as polyeth-ylene glove wipes, filter paper, samples of clothing, and soforth, or a large sample taken in other containers at a spill site.However, these samples always require thorough identificationtaken at the time of sample collection.6.6 It is advisable in the case of repeated incidents to

36、 cleanthe surface between sampling.7. Examination by Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM)7.1 Summary of Test Method:7.1.1 This test method is a mandatory evaluation of theaciniform materials present in the sample to determine prima-rily if their morphology is consistent with grape-like orbranch-lik

37、e structures typically associated with carbon blackand soots. In order to discriminate discrete morphologicalparameters, the resolving power of a TEM is required. Inaddition to TEM examination, the ancillary methods in accor-dance with Section 8 may provide supporting information as tothe nature and

38、 amount of the material.7.1.2 The sample is extracted into chloroform by sonication.The resulting suspension is deposited onto a prepared substrateattached to a 200 or 300-mesh copper grid. The grid is placedinto the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and repre-sentative fields are examined. The

39、 aciniform materials are thenevaluated for overall morphology.7.2 Apparatus and Chemicals:7.2.1 Transmission Electron Microscope, equipped with asuitable camera.7.2.2 Ultrasonic Bath or Ultrasonic Probe, of satisfactorypower to disperse the particles.7.2.3 Copper TEM Grids, 3-mm 200 or 300-mesh, wit

42、ube or vial.7.3.2 Add 1 to 4 cm3of chloroform to a test tube or 10 to 20cm3to a glass vial until the entire sample is totally immersedin chloroform.7.3.3 An ultrasonic probe or bath may be used to dispersethe material into chloroform. If an ultrasonic probe is used, setthe vial into a container fill

43、ed with ice and water. Ultrasonicatea sufficient amount of time (typically 10 min) to disperse thematerial. If the sample under examination is not dispersed well,re-prepare the sample using more ultrasonic energy or dilutethe suspension.7.3.4 Place a copper grid with the carbon substrate upwardon a

44、filter membrane. Place the filter membrane in a hood.7.3.5 Using a volumetric pipette, deliver from 5 to 10mm3(L) of the suspension onto the center of the grid and letthe solvent evaporate. When the liquid drop is placed on thegrid it overlaps onto the filter paper resulting in a spot size thatis la

45、rger than the size of the grid.7.3.6 If the spot is exceptionally light, repeat 7.3.5 withadditional drops. Place the remaining suspension back into thetest tube, stopper, and place in the hood.7.3.7 Place the grid on the microscope sample holder andinsert the holder into the column.Atypical acceler

46、ating voltageof 80 KV is sufficient for carbon black. Determine an appro-priate magnification for the particles between 5 000 and100 0003 magnification.7.4 Material Identification:7.4.1 Classify the aggregates as being consistent with orinconsistent with the morphology of aciniform material. Car-bon

47、 black and some soot(s) are considered to contain beaciniform in nature.NOTE 2It is highly recommended to take into consideration thegrades of carbon black manufactured in the area sampled. If acinoformmaterial is found in the sample, it is advisable to also examine possiblemanufactured carbon black

48、s from the area to be used as controls versus theenvironmental sample.7.4.2 If the aggregates are aciniform, then continue with theidentification process. Examine the overall morphology of theaggregate in the magnification range of 30 0003 to 50 0003and examine the microstructure of the primary part

49、icles in therange of 100 0003. In support of the analysis, it is recom-mended to generate photomicrographs of representative fields.Refer to Annex A1 to aid in particle identification.7.4.3 Elemental identification of the aciniform material isassumed to be predominately carbonaceous.
