Total Combustibles7.1
30、Procedure:7.1.1 Use two of the four bulk density volumes from 6.1.2.1for the total combustibles determination. Reduce the size ofeach sample, if necessary, to approximately 20 lb (9.1 kg) bythe method of coning and quartering, as described in Method Bof Practice C702. Determine the weight of each of
31、 the twosamples to the nearest 0.1 lb (0.05 kg) before heating.7.1.2 Heat each of the two samples in excess air at 750F(400C) for 60 min. An external source of air at low flow ratesand pressures can be introduced at several locations within thesample to provide for combustion and excess air. The sam
32、plemay be stirred every 15 min to expose fresh surface. Determinethe weight of each of the two samples after heating to thenearest 0.1 lb (0.05 kg).NOTE 2For example, the amount of air needed can be estimated as inthe following example:Assume a 20-lb (9-kg) sample containing 10 % combustibles that a
33、re40 % carbon. For complete combustion, the amount of carbon to beremoved is:20 3 0.1 3 0.4 5 0.8 lb (3)For the combustion reaction C + O2=CO2, 0.8 lb of carbon requires0.8 3 (32 lb/lbmol)/(12 lb/lbmol) = 2.13 lb of oxygen or 2.13 3 (359 ft3/lbmol)/(32 lb/lbmol) of O2= 23.9 ft3of oxygen at standard
34、temperatureE701 80 (2010)2and pressure (STP). Assuming the oxygen contribution from the sample iszero, and since air is 21 % oxygen by volume, 23.9/0.21 = 114 ft3of air atSTP is required to react with the carbon. For air at 25C (77F), thevolume of air required is 114 3 (273 + 25)/273 = 124 ft3, and
35、assuminga 50 % excess air requirement, the total air necessary is 124 + 0.5 = 186ft3. For a combustion time of 60 min, the flow rate of air needed is186/60 = 3.1 ft3/min.7.2 Calculation Calculate the total combustibles as fol-lows:Total combustibles, weight % 5 1 2 w1/w2!# 3 100 (4)where:w1= sample

38、and the supplier.8.3 Report the chemical composition of each melt and theaverage composition of the two melts.9. Magnetic Fraction (for the Detinning Industry)9.1 Procedure:9.1.1 Weigh each of the two bulk density volumes remain-ing after Section 7 to 0.1 lb (0.05 kg) and manually separateusing a ha
39、nd magnet into two fractions: magnetic and nonmag-netic.9.1.2 Wash the magnetic fraction in a galvanized tub ofapproximately 20-gal (0.08-m3) capacity for 2 min with 180F(82C) water. Locate a 2-in. quick-drain valve, or equivalent, atthe base of the tub to drain the water and wash the residue.When t
40、he drain valve is opened, use water from a garden hosefor approximately 1 min to wash off any remaining residue.Place a14-in. (6.3-mm) hardware cloth with sufficient screen-ing area at the exit of the drain valve to collect any of themagnetic fraction that may be washed out through the drainvalve du
41、ring draining of the tub. Next, repeat the previouslydescribed wash cycle. Manually remove the magnetic fractionfrom the tub and drain, if necessary, any residue or retainedwater, or both, from the individual pieces. After draining thewater, air-dry the magnetic fraction at ambient temperature fora
42、period of 24 h by spreading the sample onto a clean, drysurface to one-layer thickness, or as required by Test MethodC29/C29M, and weigh to the nearest 0.1 lb (0.05 kg). Whiledrying, protect the sample from contamination by falling dustand debris.9.2 Calculation Calculate the magnetic fraction as fo

44、 Procedure:10.1.1 Separate manually each dried magnetic portion fromSection 9 into “cans and other.” Weigh the can and otherfractions to the nearest 0.1 lb (0.05 kg). Prepare the canfraction for sampling by compacting it to sufficient density tomaintain its integrity during subsequent drilling. The
45、cylindri-cal compact should have a volume of approximately 10 in.3(160 cm3).10.1.2 Drill two14-in. (6-mm) holes through the cylinderfrom top to bottom. Locate the holes on the base of thecylinder, midway between the cylinder axis and the cylinderedge on a common diameter.10.1.3 Combine the drillings
46、 from the two holes for thechemical analysis described in 10.1.5. Exercise caution toensure the collection of all drillings.NOTE 3Experience has shown that approximately 20 g of drillings isa sufficient sample for the tin analysis.10.1.4 Alternatively, the can fraction can be sampled by anyother pro
