Summary of Test Method3.1 The stability and miscibility of a waste material areobserved when the waste is mixed with various media.4. Significance and Use4.1 This t
8、est method will identify waste materials that arepotentially unstable when they come in contact with othermaterials at a waste treatment or disposal site.4.2 This test method will serve to determine the miscibilityof waste materials with various media, including other wastes.4.3 This test method may
9、 not be applicable to all wastes.The appropriateness of these tests depends upon the proposedmanagement of the waste.4.4 Since the initiation of some chemical reactions are slowto take place, the user may wish to establish reagent-to-wastecontact times prior to observing the mixes for any reactions.

15、nt Test Mixture, prepare a fifty percent (50 %)by weight mixture of reagent grade perchloroethylene in USPgrade mineral oil.7. Hazards7.1 Standard laboratory hygiene practices should be fol-lowed when conducting these tests. Potentially violent reac-tions may occur in performance of this test, so ap
16、propriateprecautions may be advised.7.2 All tests should be performed in a laboratory fume hood.Waste samples may produce toxic or noxious fumes whenmixed with other substances.7.3 The analyst should wear gloves that are resistant toacids, bases, and organic liquids.8. Procedure8.1 Refer to the samp
17、les label and respective chemicalcomposition data to determine if there is any waste componentlisted that could react with the agents or materials selected fortesting.8.2 Air Stability:8.2.1 Open the cap of the sample container very slowly, andremove the cap slowly by sliding it across the top of th
18、e samplecontainer.8.2.2 If any evidence of fuming is observed when thecontainer is first opened, close the container immediately andrefer to the samples respective chemical composition data todetermine if there is any waste component listed that could bereactive in air. If no air reactive components
19、 are identified, thencarefully open the container.8.2.3 Using a glass, plastic spatula, or disposable dropper,remove a small portion of the sample and place it on a watchglass to observe any reaction of the waste in air. Note anyreaction. If the waste sample is air reactive, do not proceedwith any o
20、f the following steps.8.3 Water Stability:8.3.1 Mix liquid waste sample thoroughly, and place a10-mL aliquot of the sample in a 40-mL plastic cup. For drywaste or sludges, add enough sample to fill the cup to the10-mL mark.8.3.2 Pour 10-mL of water slowly and carefully over thesample and observe any
21、 reaction. If no reaction is observedimmediately, then mix the sample and water and note anyreaction. Also estimate the volume percent solubility of thesample in water. If the waste appears to be water reactive, it issuggested that the appropriateness of the following steps bereviewed.8.4 Stability
22、with Acid:8.4.1 Take a 10-mL aliquot of the well mixed liquid wastesample and place it in a 40-mL plastic cup. For dry waste orsludges, fill to the 10-mL mark.8.4.2 Slowly and carefully add 10-mL of the HCl testsolution or up to 10-mL until a reaction is observed. If noreaction is observed after the
23、 addition of 10-mL, then carefullymix the HCl solution with the sample until it is evenly mixed.Note any reaction that occurs. Also estimate the volumepercent solubility of the sample in the acid.8.5 Stability with Base:8.5.1 Take a 10-mL aliquot of the well mixed liquid wastesample and place it in
24、a 40-mL plastic cup. For dry waste orsludges, fill to the 10-mL mark.8.5.2 Slowly and carefully add 10-mL of the NaOH testsolution or up to 10-mL until a reaction is observed. If noreaction is observed after the addition of 10-mL, then carefullymix the NaOH solution with the sample until it is evenl
25、ymixed. Note any reaction that occurs.Also estimate the volumepercent solubility of the sample in base.8.6 Stability with Organics:8.6.1 For waste material that may be mixed with otherwastes for treatment and disposal, take a 10-mL aliquot of thewell mixed liquid waste sample and place it in a 40-mL
26、 plasticcup. For dry waste or sludges fill to the 10-mL mark.8.6.2 Slowly and carefully add 10-mL of oil/solvent mixtureor up to 10-mL until a reaction is observed. If no reaction isobserved after the addition of 10-mL, then carefully mix theoil/solvent with the sample until it is evenly mixed. Note
27、 anyreaction that occurs. Also estimate the volume percent solubil-ity of the sample with organics.8.7 Stability with Other Waste Materials or Solid Media:8.7.1 Place a 10-mL aliquot of the well mixed liquid samplein a 40-mL plastic cup. For dry waste or sludge, fill to the10-mL mark.8.7.2 Carefully
28、 and slowly add 10-mL of the other wastematerial or solid media or up to 10-mL until a reaction isobserved. If no reaction is observed after the addition of the10-mL, then carefully mix the contents of the plastic cup untilevenly mixed. Note any reaction that occurs. Also note thevolume percent solu
29、bility of the waste sample with the otherwaste material, if applicable.9. Interpretation of Results9.1 If the waste material reacts with any of the test mediaevaluated, resulting in the evolution of heat or the vigorousevolution of gases, then the waste will be termed unstable withthat respective me
30、dia.9.2 The solubility of the waste material observed whenmixed with the various liquid media can be an indication of themiscibility of the waste in those media.10. Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionIt is not practicable to specify the precisionof the procedure in Test Method D 5232 for measuring thes
31、tability and miscibility of a waste material, because nonumerical data exist due to the wide variations in wastematerial compositions.10.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for measuring the bias for the procedure in TestMethod D 5232 for measuring the stability and miscibili
32、ty of awaste material, bias has not been determined.11. Quality Control11.1 Quality control samples and replicate evaluationsshould be performed at a level specified by the laboratory andat a predetermined frequency.D 5232 92 (2008)212.
