18、3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 filterable mattermatter, nalso commonly referred to as total dissolved solids (TDS). It is that dissolved matter that iscapable of passing through a glass fiber filter and dried to constant weight at 180C, as determined by following the proced
19、uresoutlined in this test method.3.2.1.1 DiscussionIt is that dissolved matter that is capable of passing through a glass fiber filter and dried to constant weight at 180C, as determinedby following the procedures outlined in this test method.3.2.2 nonfilterable mattermatter, nalso commonly known as
20、 total suspended solids (TSS). It is that particulate matter thatis retained on a glass fiber filter and dried to a constant weight at 103 to 105C, as determined by following the procedures outlinedin these test methods.3.2.2.1 DiscussionIt is that particulate matter that is retained on a glass fibe
21、r filter and dried to a constant weight at 103 to 105C, as determined byfollowing the procedures outlined in these test methods.4. Significance and Use4.1 Solids, both as filterable matter (TDS) and nonfilterable matter (TSS), are important in the treating of raw water andwastewater, and in monitori
22、ng of streams.4.2 Waste solids impose a suspended and settleable residue in receiving waters. Suspended and soluble materials provide amatrix for some biological slime and, in sufficient quantity, impair respiration of organisms.These solids may create nuisance slimebeds and odors while imposing a l
23、ong-term biological oxidation load over limited receiving water areas.4.3 Knowledge of suspended and soluble materials is important in treating raw water supplies. Knowledge of solids loading canaid in determining the type or amount of treatment, or both, necessary to make the water acceptable for u
24、se. Such information mayalso be used to determine acceptability of water after treatment.Too little treatment may not be desirable and excess treatment costsmoney.4.4 Stream monitoring is important for environmental reasons, such as compliance with discharge permits. Streamimprovements, water pollut
25、ion monitoring, mass wasting, algal studies, and sediment loads are but a few of the many reasonsstreams are monitored.5. Interferences5.1 For some samples, chemical reactions may cause some materials to change from one phase to another. For example, in somegroundwaters, ferrous ions may form insolu
26、ble ferric hydroxides. Softened water high in carbonates may precipitate calciumcarbonate. In such cases, holding time may have a critical impact upon both the filterable and nonfilterable matter. Such samplesmay have to be filtered in the field.5.2 ThisThese test method ismethods are not meant to i
27、nclude nonrepresentative particulates such as leaves, sticks, insects, fish,etc. These should be removed before the analysis.D5907 1825.3 Certain materials may be measured poorly, or not at all. Some materials may decompose or volatilize at the requiredtemperature. Other substances, such as glycerin
28、 or sulfuric acid, will remain liquid at the required temperature, giving variableresults. Oils and greases may present similar problems and can end up in either the filterable (TDS) or nonfilterable (TSS) portion.5.4 Suspended solids samples high in dissolved matter, such as saline waters, brines,
29、and some wastes, may be subject to apositive interference by the retention of dissolved matter, such as salts and sugars, on the filter. Care must be taken in the finalrinsing of the filter so as to minimize this potential interferent. Additional washing may be necessary.5.5 Clogging of the filter w
30、ith too fine or too much material will prolong the filtering time and retain smaller particles that wouldnormally pass through the filter, thus giving elevated values to nonfilterable matter (TSS) and low values to the filterable matter(TDS). Biological material, such as algae, may also prolong filt
31、ration time or plug the filter.5.6 Some samples may be hygroscopic, requiring prolonged drying, extra careful desiccation, and rapid weighing. For filterablematter (TDS), samples highly mineralized or high in bicarbonate may require careful and possibly prolonged drying. For thebicarbonate, the exte
32、nded drying may be needed to ensure complete conversion to carbonate.5.7 Too much material retained on the filter may entrap water, and may also require extended drying time for the suspendedsolids. For filterable matter (TDS), excessive residue in the dish may cause the formation of a water-trappin
33、g crust, giving elevatedvalues.5.8 For some users, certain biological materials, such as algae, slimes, insects, or other small crustaceans, may be consideredto be positive interferences for nonfilterable matter (TSS). Modifications or adjustments may be needed to generate a better value.An example
34、is determining chlorophyll content to estimate the amount of algae present. Such modifications may be beyond thescope of this test method.6. Apparatus6.1 Analytical Balance, capable of measuring to the nearest 0.1 mg.3 For the high precision total dissolved solids method, therecommended balance shou
35、ld have a capacity of 200 g and be capable of measuring to the nearest 0.01 mg.6.2 Drying Oven, capable of maintaining a temperature between 103 and 105C and between 178 and 182C.NOTE 1To prevent dust and sample from being blown around, it is preferred that the oven for the particulate matter (TSS)
36、be of a gravity convectiontype. If this is not possible, samples should be shielded from the forced air of mechanical convection ovens.6.3 Evaporating Dishes, 70-mL to 250-mL capacity, not to exceed 200 g in weight.6.4 Glass Fiber Filters, without organic binder.4 47-mm diameter filters are needed f

It is therefore importantto adequately prewash the filters as prescribed.6.5 Membrane Filter AssemblyA bo

The top section of the funnel shall fit over the edge of the filter to provide a seal.The top should be removable to allow easy access for removing the filt
39、er. A Gooch crucible with a fritted bottom may be used inlieu of the funnel. A 47-mm filter assembly is needed for the high precision TDS method when field filtration is not used.6.6 Planchet or Pan, made of aluminum or stainless steel, capable of supporting the filter when it is not on the filter a

Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, references to water shall be understood to mean reagent water conforming toType I or II of Specification D1193.

41、azards8.1 Care must be taken to ensure filter funnels and filtering flasks are in a sound state. Any tiny nick, scratch, or weakness inglass flasks or other apparatus can create a potential for an implosion hazard. Wrapping a flask is not adequate protection in caseof an implosion. It is recommended
42、 that a solid shield, such as a plexiglass cage, be placed around any filtering flask.9.

Summary of Test Method10.1 Awell-mixed sample is filtered through a weighed standard glass fiber filter. The suspended solids are retained on the filter,which is dried at 1
47、05C and weighed. The increased mass on the filter represents the nonfilterable matter (TSS).10.2 The filtrate from 10.1 may be used to determine the filterable matter (TDS).The filtered sample (liquid phase) is evaporatedto dryness and heated to 180C in a tared vessel to a constant weight.11. Proced
48、ure11.1 Prepare the glass fiber filters before use.11.1.1 Place the glass fiber filter on the membrane filter assembly, or insert into the bottom of a suitable Gooch crucible, withthe wrinkled surface up. While a vacuum is applied, wash the disc with three successive volumes of water. Each volume of
49、 watershould be equal to 3 mL for each square centimetre of filterable surface area. For standard 47-mm filter holders with 35-mmdiameter funnels, this would be 30 mL for each wash for a total of 90 mL. Continue the vacuum until the free water has beenremoved. Discard the washings.NOTE 3Proper washing is important for removing loose fiber and wet strength resins. One 90-mL wash is not as effective as three 30-mL washes.NOTE 4On some filters it may be difficult to tell which is the wrinkled side. Usually the opposite side has faint markings of th
