1、Designation: E1757 01 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Practice forPreparation of Biomass for Compositional Analysis1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1757; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la

2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a reproducible way to converthardwoods, softwoods, herbaceous materials (such as switch-grass and s

3、ericea), agricultural residues (such as corn stover,wheat straw, and bagasse), wastepaper (such as office waste,boxboard, and newsprint), feedstocks pretreated to improvesuitability for fermentation and fermentation residues into auniform material suitable for compositional analysis.1.2 Milling and

4、sieving actions both produce large amountsof dust. This dust can be a nuisance hazard and irritant. Useappropriate respiratory protection as needed. If excessiveamounts of dust are allowed to become airborne a potentialexplosion hazard is possible. Provide appropriate dust controlmeasures as needed.

The inch-pound units given in parentheses are forinformation only.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 standard to est

Significance and Use4.1 Preparation Method AMethod suitable for the prepa-ration of large quantities (20 g) of field collected sam

8、ples intoa form appropriate for compositional analysis. Woody samplesmust first be available as chips of a nominal 5 by 5 by 0.6 cm(2 by 2 by14 in.) or less and twigs not exceeding 0.6 cm (14in.) diameter. Herbaceous materials may be processed as wholestraw. It is recommended that wastepaper should

9、be shreddedinto pieces less then 1 cm (12 in.) wide. Furthermore, it isrecommended that twigs, straw and wastepaper should notexceed 61 cm (24 in.) in length to facilitate handling.4.2 Preparation Methods B and CTest methods are suit-able for very moist feedstocks, samples that would not bestable du

10、ring prolonged exposure to ambient conditions, or fordrying materials when room conditions deviate from theambient conditions described in 3.1.1. These test methods arealso suitable for handling small samples of biomass (20 g, and the intermediate model, with 1-mm screen, is suitablefor samples 20 g

11、)of biomass as described in 4.1.6.2 The raw biomass material should be spread out on asuitable surface to air dry prior to any milling. Do not pile thematerial deeper then 15 cm. Turn the material at least daily toensure even drying and minimize molding of material that maycontain significant amount

12、s of moisture. The material isconsidered dried when the change in weight is less than 1 % in24 h.6.3 The air-dried material is fed into the knife-mill and ismilled to pass througha2mmscreen in the bottom of the mill.Milled wastepaper does not need to be sieved and can be useddirectly for composition

13、 analysis. Milled biomass materialsshould be sieved as follows.6.4 The sieving is set up by stacking the sieves in thefollowing order, starting at the bottom: start with the bottompan, next stack the 80 mesh sieve, followed by the 20 meshsieve. Milled material is placed no more then 7 cm deep in the

14、20 mesh sieve.6.5 Place the cover on the sieve stack and secure the stackin the sieve shaker.6.6 The sieves need to be shaken for 15 6 1 min.At the endof the time period remove the sieves. The fraction retained onthe 20 mesh sieve (+20 mesh fraction) should be reprocessedbeginning at step 6.3. The f

15、raction retained on the 80 meshsieve (20/+80 mesh fraction) should be retained for compo-sitional analysis. The material in the bottom pan is the fines(80 mesh). Retain this material for ash analysis.6.7 Repeat 6.3 6.6 until all of the milled material will passthrough the 20 mesh sieve. If necessary

16、, combine all of the-20/+80 mesh batches. If necessary, combine all of -80 meshbatches. Weigh the combined 20/+80 mesh fraction and thecombined fines to the nearest 0.1 g. Record the 20/+80 meshfraction weight as Wt20/80and the fines fraction weight as Wt80.6.8 If multiple sieved samples were combin

17、ed they must beuniformly blended back together into a single sample. Pour the20/+80 mesh fraction into the riffle sampler, and then recom-bine the two subdivided samples in the bottom pans backtogether. Repeat this division and recombination an additionalthree times. To correctly use the riffle samp

18、ler, the sample mustbe poured evenly onto all the riffle openings at the same time.A pan, as wide as the riffle opening, should be used. Pour thesample evenly off the entire side of the pan and not from theend or the corner, nor from a container such as a jar.6.9 If the total sample needs to be subd

19、ivided into smallersamples, use the riffler at this time to divide the main sample.6.10 If the prepared sample is not analyzed immediatelyafter sieving and riffling, the sample should be stored in anair-tight container or sealable polyethylene bag and kept at20C until needed.7.
