1、Designation: D4058 96 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forAttrition and Abrasion of Catalysts and Catalyst Carriers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4058; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the attri-tion and abrasion resistance of catalysts and catalyst
3、 carriers. Itis applicable to tablets, extrudate, spheres, and irregularlyshaped particles larger than about116 in. (1.6 mm) and smallerthan about34 in. (19 mm). The materials used in developingthe method exhibited losses on attrition less than 7 %;however, the method should be applicable to materia
4、ls givingmuch higher attritions.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of
5、thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of catalyst or catalyst carrier is rotated for afixed number of rev
7、olutions in a cylindrical drum having asingle baffle. Fines produced by attrition and abrasion in thetest are determined by sieving through a standard sieve.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is considered to be a measure of thepropensity of a catalyst to produce fines in the course oftrans
8、portation, handling, and use. However, there is no abso-lute level of acceptability. The values obtained are significantprincipally in relation to values for other materials (or othersamples of the same material) of comparable size.5. Apparatus5.1 Acylindrical drum with inside dimensions of 10 in. (
9、254mm) diameter and 6 in. (152 mm) long with a single radialbaffle 2 in. (51 mm) high extending the full length of thecylinder. A lid shall be provided and secured to the containerwithAllen-head screws, wing nuts or other suitable means as toensure that no fines escape during the test. The inside of
10、 thedrum should have a surface roughness no greater than about250 in. (6.4 m). (The roughness of cold-rolled steel or asmooth grind on a lathe is satisfactory.) A suitable design isshown in Fig. 1.5.2 Any convenient means of rotation, such as a ball millroller, geared to give the desired rate of rot
11、ation of the drum.6. Sampling6.1 Obtain a representative sample of about 110 g of thematerial to be tested by gently splitting or quartering. Anysampling technique requiring extensive agitation or handlingwill cause some attrition and, therefore, compromise the resultsof the test.6.2 Gently sieve th
12、e sample on a No. 20 (850-m) ASTMsieve.6.3 Transfer the presieved sample to a widemouthed con-tainer tared to the nearest 0.01 g.6.4 Dry the presieved sample in air for3hat400C. It maybe necessary to modify or eliminate this step when testingmaterials that might be decomposed or drastically altered
13、bythe drying conditions.NOTE 1For example, an activated carbon catalyst may be treated for4 h at 190C in a vacuum oven.6.5 Cool the dried sample for at least 30 min in a desiccatorusing freshly regenerated 4A molecular sieves as the desiccant.The molecular sieves shall be regenerated at 220 to 260C.

18、f 606 5 rpm.7.6 After the rotation prescribed in 7.5, rotate the testcylinder until the baffle is at the top and tap the test cylinderwith a rubber mallet several times to allow the fines to settle tothe bottom of the test cylinder.7.7 Place a No. 20 (850-m) ASTM sieve with pan underthe test cylinde
19、r and carefully remove the cover.7.8 Pour the test sample onto the sieve. Use a fine-bristlebrush to clean out the test cylinder and its cover.7.9 Sieve the fines into the pan by gently shaking the sieveby hand; avoid excessive agitation (refer to 6.1).7.10 Dry the fraction on the sieve at the same
20、conditionsused for the original sample (refer to 6.4).7.11 Weigh the dried fraction to the nearest 0.01 g. Recordthis weight as B.8.
