A.1.2 Manufacturing process Pumice is produced by quarrying and crushing, then cleaning, drying and sieving. A.2 T

41、ypical properties A.2.1 Chemical composition The composition depends on the origin of the raw materials. Examples are given in Table A.1. Table A.1 Chemical composition Parameter Mass fraction in % SiO2range 55 to 75 Al2O3range 10 to 25 Fe2O3max 2CaO max 2 K2O max 10 Na2O max 10 Mineralogical and pe

42、trological analyses give additional information. A.2.2 Mechanical strength The mechanical resistance of pumice is relatively low. Abrasion products consist of dust and small particles of material. They are formed during transportation, filling, and washing. Abrasion products are not completely remov

43、ed by washing. The existing methods for determination of abrasion do not lead to exact results regarding behaviour of filter media during operation. They can be used only for comparison of different filter media. A.2.3 Examples of particle size distribution Examples of particle size distribution des

44、cribed by different particle size ranges and a permissible mass fraction of oversize and undersize product are given in Table A.2. BS EN 12906:2012EN 12906:2012 (E) 10 Table A.2 Examples of particle size range Permissible mass fraction % aParticle size range mm Undersize Oversize 0,6 to 1,6 5 5 1,4

Other particle size ranges can be specifie

46、d. A.2.4 Density A.2.4.1 Absolute density The absolute density is greater than 2,3 g/cm3. A.2.4.2 Particle density dry The particle density dry is generally in the range of 0,7 g/cm3to 1,2 g/cm3. A.2.4.3 Particle density wet The particle density wet is generally in the range of 1,1 g/cm3to 1,7 g/cm3

47、. NOTE It can require several days for particles to become saturated with water. A.2.5 Porosity of particles The porosity of particles is generally in the range of volume fraction of 50 % to 85 %. A.3 Use A.3.1 Function Pumice is used as a filtering material. A.3.2 Specific amount The amount of pumi

48、ce used depends on the application. Filtration rate and filter media depth vary with the suspended matter content of the water to be filtered. A.3.3 Means of application Pumice is used in open or closed, single or multilayer filters. BS EN 12906:2012EN 12906:2012 (E) 11 A.3.4 Secondary effects The p

49、roduct has no secondary effects. A.4 Hydraulic characteristics A.4.1 Interstitial volume The interstitial volume is approximately 0,4 (V/V). If used for calculations the interstitial volume should be measured. A.4.2 Head loss during filtration Head loss depends on size, shape and roughness of particles, filtration rate, filter bed depth, and water temperature. A.4.3 Expansion during up-flow washing Expansion during washing depends on flow rate, effective size, density, shape and roughness, and water tem
