1、Designation: D5761 96 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Practice forEmulsification/Suspension of Multiphase Fluid WasteMaterials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5761; 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 practice covers the generation of a single-phasesuspension or emulsion from multiphase samples which are
3、primarily liquid in order to facilitate sample preparation,transfer, and analysis.1.2 This practice is designed to keep a multiphase fluidsample in an emulsified/suspended state long enough to take asingle, composite sample that is representative of the sample asa whole. The sample may reform multip
4、le layers after standing.1.3 The emulsion/suspension generated by following thispractice can be used only for analytical procedures designedfor the total sample and procedures not significantly affected bythe emulsifier or the presence of an emulsion/suspension.1.4 This practice assumes that a repre
5、sentative sample ofnot more than 1 L has been obtained.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is therespon
6、sibility 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.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established

Summar
10、y of Practice4.1 An emulsifier is added and mixed well with a sample ofmultiphase fluid waste material, to produce a uniform mixturesuitable for subsequent aliquoting. A satisfactory homogeniza-tion has been attained when the sample appears to remain as asingle phase for 30 s or longer.4.2 Acalcium
11、sulfonate emulsifier is used when the originalsample is primarily organic in nature; a polyethylene glycolmonoalky ester is used when the original sample is primarilyaqueous in nature.

15、inciples on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1the original sample contains roughly equal volumes of organicand aqueous
16、 material.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended as a solution to the difficulty ofobtaining reproducible test results from heterogeneoussamples.5.2 This practice works best with multilayered liquids, butcan also be applied to samples with solid particles that aresufficiently small in
17、size to be suspended in an emulsion.5.3 The emulsified/suspended sample can be used for allbulk property testing such as microwave digestion/inductivelycoupled argon plasma (ICAP), ion chromatography, heat ofcombustion, ash content, water, nonvolatile residue, and pH. Itmay be prudent to retain a po
18、rtion of the sample in its original,multiphase form for some types of analyses.6. Interferences6.1 Not all samples can be emulsified, due to varyingchemical reactions with the surfactants. If the emulsion is notstable for at least 30 s after shaking, it may not be suitable fortesting as an emulsion.
19、6.2 Due to their physical composition, some samples are notsuitable for splitting and, as a result, cannot be emulsified if anonemulsified retain is required. For example, excessiveamounts of solids and semisolids or tars do not permit splitting.6.3 In some instances, the amount of sample submitted
20、maynot be sufficient for splitting and, as a result, cannot beemulsified if some unemulsified sample must be retained.6.4 Erroneous results can be obtained if precautions are nottaken to avoid the loss of volatile material. Do not opencontainers unnecessarily. Results for samples from leaky con-tain
21、ers must be marked to indicate that the sample integrity wasnot maintained during shipping/storage.7.

Procedure9.1 Representative samples are to be provided to the labo-ratory using standard techniques such as th
23、ose described inPractices D4057 or D4177 and EPA/SW846. It is assumed forpurposes of this practice that the size of the sample in thelaboratory is one litre or less.Adjustments in procedure will benecessary for larger volumes.9.2 Vigorously shake multiphase samples by hand, or bymechanical means, fo
24、r up to 30 s. If within 1 min after shaking,the sample appears to separate and each of the layers consistsof at least 10 % by volume of the total, and if there is asufficient sample available based on subsequent testingrequirements, then the sample is a candidate for the emulsifi-cation procedure.9.
25、3 (Optional.) If some unemulsified sample is to beretained, split the sample into two separate samples using thesplitter funnel shown in Fig. 1.9.4 Tentatively classify any liquid phase, using informationknown about the sample, as organic or aqueous and determinetheir volume percentages relative to
26、the whole sample. SeeAppendix X1 for an example worksheet on which to record theinformation.9.4.1 As a guide to classifying a sample in a clear glass jar,measure phase height from the inside bottom of the jar, notfrom the bench top, using a ruler held up to the outer verticalside of the jar. Phase h
27、eight shall be measured while lookingstraight and horizontally at the phase separation.9.4.2 Use a high-intensity lamp to backlight the sample andprovide better definition of phases. Short duration applicationof the lamp will not heat the sample.9.5 Select an emulsifier. Select the organic emulsifie
