23、6137:2011 (E) 5 Introduction This Technical Specification specifies the calculation method for the determination of bio-based carbon content in monomers, polymers, plastics materials and products using the 14C method. This calculation method using the 14C method is based on the well established anal

24、ytical test methods used for the determination of the age of objects containing carbon. This Technical Specification provides the reference test methods for laboratories, producers, suppliers and purchasers of bio-based polymer materials and products. It can be also useful for authorities and inspec

25、tion organizations. NOTE 1 This Technical Specification is based on EN 15440 4 prepared by CEN/TC 343, Solid recovered fuels. NOTE 2 The analytical test methods specified in this Technical Specification are compatible with those described in ASTM D6866 - 10 9. DD CEN/TS 16137:2011CEN/TS 16137:2011 (

26、E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies a calculation method for the determination of the bio-based carbon content in monomers, polymers and plastic materials and products, based on the 14C content measurement. It also specifies three test methods to be used for the determination of the

27、14C content from which the bio-based carbon content is calculated: Method A: Proportional scintillation-counter method (PSM); Method B: Beta-ionisation (BI); Method C: Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The bio-based carbon content is expressed by a fraction of sample mass, as a fraction of the to

28、tal carbon content or as a fraction of the total organic carbon content. This calculation method is applicable to any polymers containing organic carbon, including biocomposites. NOTE This Technical Specification does not provide the methodology for the calculation of the biomass content of a sample

41、nating from recent atmospheric CO2. Due to its radioactive decay, it is almost absent from fossil products older than 20 000 years to 30 000 years. The 14C content may thus be considered as a tracer of chemicals recently synthesized from atmospheric CO2and particularly of recently produced bio-produ

42、cts. The determination of the biomass content is based on the measurement of 14C in bio-based polymers which allows the calculation of the bio-based carbon fraction.

46、accepted by the different parties, such a procedure may be used and the details of sampling recorded. For any sampling procedure, the samples shall be representative of the material or product and the quantity or mass of sample shall be accurately established. 7 Determination of the 14C content 7.1

47、General A general sample preparation and three test methods for the determination of the 14C content are described in this Technical Specification. With this modular approach it will be possible for normally equipped laboratories to prepare samples for the 14C content, and determine the 14C content

48、with own equipment or to outsource the determination of the 14C content to laboratories that are specialized in this technique. For the collection from the sample of the 14C content, generally accepted methods for the conversion of the carbon present in the sample to CO2are described. For the measur

49、ement of the 14C content, methods are selected, that are already generally accepted as methods for the determination of the age of objects. 7.2 Principle The amount of bio-based carbon in the bio-based polymer is proportional to this 14C content. Complete combustion (see Annex A) is carried out in a way to comply with the requirements of the subsequent measurement of the 14C content and shall provide the quantitative recovery of all carbon present DD C
