6、 is determined by establishing the loss inmass resulting from heating an activated carbon sample underrigidly controlled conditions. The measured mass loss, cor-rected for moisture as determined in Test Method D2867,establishes the volatile matter content of the activated carbonsample.5. Significanc
7、e and Use5.1 Volatile matter, when determined as herein described,may be used as a relative measure of the extent of carboniza-tion in an activated carbon and the extent of loading of volatilematerial on an activated carbon that has been used in anadsorption application.5.2 Combined with other infor
8、mation, the volatile matter ofan activated carbon may be useful in evaluating its perfor-mance in an adsorption application.5.3 Other automated methods for the determination of thevolatile content of solids, such as using a thermogravimetricanalyzer (TGA), can be used in place of this test method wi

19、aboratory study of this test method wasconducted in 1996. Each of seven laboratories tested threerandomly drawn specimens from each of three different acti-vated carbons containing volatile matter content. CarbonAwasa coconut shell gas phase carbon containing gasoline vapors.Carbon B was a coal base
20、d liquid phase carbon containingorganic components from gasoline. Carbon C was a coconutshell vapor phase carbon containing chlorinated organic com-pounds. The average volatile matter contents were 24.7 %,9.1 % and 12.9 %, respectively. In order to determine thevolatile matter content of the samples
21、, their moisture contentswere determined according to Test Method D2867 and werefound to be 3.54 %, 35.2 % and 3.87 %, respectively. PracticeE691 and E691 computer software were used to design thestudy and analyze the resulting data.10.2 95 % Limit on Repeatability (Within Laboratory), %:Activated C
