23、It describes the characteristics of garnet and specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for garnet. It gives information on its use in water treatment. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indisp

24、ensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

NOTE Both forms can have other metals in partial substitution for the major constituents. 4.2 Commercial form Each of the two main types of garnet is available in different particle size grades.

27、 5 Physical properties 5.1 Appearance The product is a pink, red or brown to black coloured granular material. Cubic crystals; the particle shape can be angular to sub-angular to rounded depending on origin. The product shall be generally homogeneous and shall be visibly free of extraneous matter. C

29、ken at the point of manufacture using the method of test given in EN 12902. NOTE 1 The particle size can decrease during transportation and handling. The particle size distribution shall be described by either: a) effective size : (d10) with a maximum deviation of 5 %; uniformity coefficient : (U) w

30、hich shall be less than 1,5; minimum size : (d1) with a maximum deviation of 5 %; or b) by particle size range and by mass fraction of oversize and undersize particles according to application. The maximum contents of oversize and undersize shall be a mass fraction of 5 % for application of the prod

31、uct as a filtration layer in multi media filters and a mass fraction of 10 % for use in single media filters. For use as a support layer, maximum mass fractions of oversize and undersize of 15 % are acceptable. See A.2.3 for examples of available particle sizes that are used. NOTE 2 Other values can

32、 be necessary for certain applications. 5.3 Density 5.3.1 General The density of garnet varies with the mineralogical form. Garnet with absolute density lower than 3,8 g/cm3should not be used in multi media sand - garnet filters to prevent intermixing of media. 5.3.2 Bulk density loose Almandite: Th

33、e bulk density loose shall be in the range of 2 150 kg/m3to 2 250 kg/m3. Andradite: The bulk density loose shall be in the range of 1 850 kg/m3to 2 000 kg/m3. 5.3.3 Bulk density packed Almandite: The bulk density packed shall be in the range of 2 350 kg/m3to 2 400 kg/m3. Andradite: The bulk density

34、packed shall be in the range of 1 950 kg/m3to 2 250 kg/m3. 6 Chemical properties This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for garnet used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on t

35、he raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities.

36、permitted without license from IHS-,-,-BS EN 12910:2012EN 12910:2012 (E) 7 Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, contents of oth

37、er impurities and additives used in the products not stated in this product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw m

38、aterials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. The chemical composition varies with the mineralogical form. Typical data are given in Table A.1. NOTE 1 Because of the nature of the occurrence and production of garnet

39、, a small proportion of other minerals, in particular silica sand and ilmenite, can be present in the commercial product. After filling, washing and commissioning of a filter system producing drinking water, garnet should not increase the concentrations of chemical parameters (see 1). NOTE 2 Water e

40、xtractable substances, determined in accordance with the method for granular materials given in EN 12902, can be used to estimate the leaching of the chemicals specified in EN 12902. 7 Specific properties Garnet is a non-reactive high density filtration and support medium. It is used specifically be

41、cause of its high density. 8 Test methods 8.1 Sampling Prepare the laboratory sample(s) required by the relevant procedures described in EN 12902. 8.2 Analysis 8.2.1 Particle size distribution The particle size distribution shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 8.2.2 Bulk density loose Th

42、e bulk density loose shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 8.2.3 Bulk density packed The bulk density packed shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 9 Labelling, transportation and storage 9.1 Means of delivery Garnet shall be delivered in bags, semi-bulk containers, or bulk. In

43、order that the purity of the product is not affected, the means of delivery shall not have been used previously for any different product or it shall have been specially cleaned and prepared before use.
