17、. The value and unit of constant is fixed by the nominal particle size, d95, and the sample size, m, of the sample before sample preparation. EXAMPLE A sample of 10 kg of SRF fluff has d95of 50 mm. For the analysis is a test portion of 5 g required. The third power law results in = 10 000 g divided

18、by 50 mm to the third power. The value of is now 0,08 g/mm3. Using this value in Equation (1) for a reduced sample size results in a nominal top size for the particles in the test portion of 3,97 mm (cube root of 5,0 g divided by 0,08 g/mm3).

For example in fluff the particles turn out to be predo

24、minantly flat. Therefore, for solid recovered fuels, a correction can made for non-granular materials. Care is needed to avoid loss of fine particles and volatile components such as moisture and mercury during milling and other operations. If a sub-sample is required for the determination of moistur

25、e content, then the sample preparation shall be carried out by a procedure that does not conflict with the requirements of CEN/TS 15414-1, CEN/TS 15414-2 or EN 15414-3. It is recommended that, if moisture content of the material (as sampled) is to be determined, a separate moisture analysis sample i

26、s taken (as there is a risk of reducing the moisture content by sample preparation operations). If a sub-sample is required for the determination of mercury content, then the sample preparation shall be carried out by a procedure that does not conflict with the requirements of EN 15297. It is recomm

27、ended that, if mercury content of the material (as sampled) is to be determined, a separate mercury analysis sample is taken (as there is a risk of reducing the mercury content by sample preparation operations). For materials that have to be examined for moisture and mercury content, care shall be t

28、aken for any significant heat build-up and risk of loss of moisture and mercury. DIN EN 15443:2011-05 EN 15443:2011 (E) 11 6 Apparatus 6.1 Apparatus for sample division 6.1.1 Riffle boxes A riffle box shall have at least 16 slots and an even number of slots, with adjacent slots directing material in

29、to different sub-samples, and the width of the slots shall be at least 3 times the nominal top size of the material to be riffled (see Figure 2). Key 1 slot, width is at least 3 times the nominal top size of the material Figure 2 Example of a riffle box 6.1.2 Rotary sample dividers A rotary sample d

30、ivider shall have a feeder device adjusted so that the divider rotates at least 20 times while the sample is being divided. See Figure 3 for an example of a rotating divider. The manufacturers instruction manual shall always be followed. The inner dimensions of the equipment where the sample is feed

31、 shall be at least 3 times as wide as the nominal top size of the material to be processed.

32、le division shall have a flat bottom, edges raised high enough to prevent particles rolling off, and shall be at least 3 times as wide as the nominal top size of the material to be processed. See Figures 4 and 5 for examples of a scoop and a shovel respectively. Key d is the nominal top size Figure

33、4 Example of a scoop DIN EN 15443:2011-05 EN 15443:2011 (E) 13 Key l is the length of the shovel A - A sectional view Figure 5 Example of a shovel 6.2 Apparatus for particle size reduction 6.2.1 Coarse cutting mill or wood crusher Coarse cutting mills are used for cutting materials into lengths of a

34、bout 10 mm to 30 mm (depending on the solid recovered fuel and the analyses to be performed). The equipment shall have a minimum of drying effect either by heating the materials or blowing air through them. The equipment shall be designed so that it does not lose dust or contaminate the material wit

35、h pieces of metal, and shall be easy to clean. A cutting mill with no screens may be suitable for small quantities. 6.2.2 Cutting mill Cutting mills are used for particle size reduction of materials used as solid recovered fuels from about 10 mm to 30 mm down to about 1 mm or less (depending on the

36、solid recovered fuel and the analyses to be performed). The mill shall be provided with screens of various aperture sizes covering this range, including an appropriate sieve to control the nominal top size of the material produced. Other apparatus may be used provided that they are designed so that

37、they do not get blocked with the material that is being processed. Avoid the use of cutting mills whose cutting faces contain significant quantities of an element that is to be determined in the analysis. NOTE Cross beater mills can be used without any excessive dusting, when fitted with dust filter

38、s (like a filter sock) between the mill and the receiving container. They are suitable for final grinding of hard, wood type materials after the pre-grinding with cutting type mills. 6.2.3 Shredder A shredder is an apparatus with a rotor equipped with hammers that shred the material which is fed to

39、the shredder. Shredders are used for reducing the particle size down to 30 mm. In case of hardy and strong materials it can be necessary to perform the particle size reduction in more than one step. The use of DIN EN 15443:2011-05 EN 15443:2011 (E) 14 shredders for particle size reduction causes a r

40、isk of losing moisture and fine fractions. Therefore the use of shredders shall be avoided when possible. Unfortunately many types of solid recovered fuel contain plastics and metals and make therefore the use of a shredder necessary. 6.3 Sieves A wire-mesh sieve with an aperture size of 1,00 mm is

41、required to check the nominal top size of general analysis samples. A wire-mesh sieve with an aperture size of 0,250 mm will be required if sub-samples with this as the nominal top size are required. 6.4 Balance A balance is required that is capable of determining the mass of samples to an accuracy

42、of 0,1 % of the sample mass, and the mass of sub-samples to an accuracy of 0,1 % of the sub-sample mass. 7 Sample preparation procedure 7.1 General structure Figure 6 outlines the general procedure that shall be followed in order to perform the sample preparation according to this European Standard.

43、 Figure 6 General sample preparation procedure 7.2 Step 1: Collection of the relevant information of the material to be sampled In the first step of sample preparation information shall be collected about the material to be sampled: a) the minimum sample size out of the sampling plan; b) the actual

44、size of the sample, m0; c) the nominal top size of the sample; d) the shape factor of the sample; DIN EN 15443:2011-05 EN 15443:2011 (E) 15 e) the requirements in terms of size reduction for the analysis that need to be performed; f) the required amounts for each of the size fractions and their rest

45、rictions to the sample preparation methods. Sample preparation prepares a sample for a number of tests which will be performed on the sample. Some of these tests require no particle size reduction or drying of the material in the sample. Other tests require very tiny homogenized sub-samples with sma

46、ll particle sizes. A sample preparation plan shall have to meet all these requirements. 7.3 Step 2: Making a sample preparation plan 7.3.1 General This subclause specifies the making of a sample preparation plan. The actual making of the sample preparation plan is the most crucial phase during sampl

47、e preparation. Sample preparation is a combination of sample division and particle size reduction. Until what level a sample of solid recovered fuel shall be prepared on site depends on available equipment on site, the requirements of the laboratory and the preferences of the client of the sampling

48、activities. These two essential activities are specified below. Sample division The aim of sample division of a sub-sample is to reduce the mass remaining sub-sample or to make several duplicate sub-samples out of one original sub-sample available. During the performance of sample division it is of

49、eminent importance that the minimum sub-sample size shall be retained in order to sustain the representatively of the sub-sample for the original combined sample. Clause 7 describes the available methods for sample division. Particle size reduction of a sample The aim of particle-size reduction is to reduce the nominal top size of the particles in order to reduce the minimum sub-sample size without losing representatively. During the performance of particle size reduction it is i
