Scope1.1 This test method describes a procedure for the determi-nation of total ash content of activated carbon.1.2 The values stated in S
3、I units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 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 establish appro-priate safety, health, a

Summary of Test Method3.1 An accurately weighed sample of dried activated carbonis placed in a controlled-temperature m
7、uffle furnace for aperiod of several hours. When constant weight has beenachieved (60.5 mg), the crucible is cooled to ambient tem-perature in a desiccator and reweighed. The weight of the ashedcarbon is expressed as a percentage of the weight of theoriginal carbon sample.4. Significance and Use4.1
8、In specific end uses, the amount and composition of theash may influence the capabilities and certain desired proper-ties of activated carbon.4.2 Other automated methods for determination of ashcontent, such as combusting the carbon in a thermogravimetricanalyzer (TGA) in flowing air or oxygen, can
9、be used in placeof this test method. A suitable method is described in TestMethods D7582. For determination of the ash content ofactivated carbon, follow the procedure in 13.5.3 of TestMethods D7582, with the exception that the furnace tempera-ture in 13.4.3 shall be 650 6 25 C. The muffle furnace m
10、ethodshall be considered the reference test method.5. Apparatus5.1 Muffle Furnace, having air circulation, capable of tem-perature regulation of 625 C at 650 C.5.2 High-Temperature Crucible, high-form.5.3 Analytical Balance, having a sensitivity of 0.1 mg.5.4 Desiccator.5.5 Oven, forced-air circulat
11、ion, capable of temperatureregulation between 145 and 155 C.6. Procedure6.1 Ignite the crucible in the muffle furnace at 650 6 25 Cfor 1 h. Place the crucible in the desiccator. Cool to roomtemperature and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg.6.2 Dry an adequate sample of activated carbon to constantweight (
12、60.5 mg) at 150 6 5 C (3 h is usually sufficient).NOTE 1Some carbons can ignite spontaneously at 150 C. In thiscase, moist carbon should be used with a correction for moisture (inaccordance with Test Methods D2867) applied in the calculations. In thiscase, the ashing should be started in a cold muff

Precision and Bias38.1 Precision:8.1.1 Interlaboratory Test ProgramAn interlaboratorystudy was run in which representative samples of three types ofactivated carbon (coconut shell-based (A), coal-based (B), andwood-based (C) were tested for ash content by sixlaboratories, with each laborato
20、ry making three observations ofeach activated carbon type over three days. Practice E691 wasfollowed for the design and analysis of the data.8.1.2 Test ResultThe precision information given in Table1 in units of measurement (percent minus weight ash content)is for the comparison of two test results,
21、 each of which is theaverage of three test determinations.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
