BS EN 15934:2012EN 15934:2012 (E) 4 Introduction In case of analysis of solids and sludge water is usually not considered as part of the sample and results are general
22、ly related to dry matter, which can be calculated by determination of the dry residue (dry matter fraction). For this purpose, and for the determination of the water content, two methods are described in this European Standard. The choice of the method depends on the type of sample and its content o
23、f volatile substances excluding water. As a result of the validation study, the determination of water content by azeotropic distillation has been replaced by Karl-Fischer-titration. Nevertheless, the distillation may be useful in certain cases. This method is described in Annex B (informative). Thi
24、s European Standard is applicable and validated for several types of matrices as indicated in Table 1 (see also Annex A for the results of the validation).

26、ry practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is abs
27、olutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard be carried out by suitably trained staff. BS EN 15934:2012EN 15934:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for the calculation of the dry matter fraction of sludge, treated biowaste, soil and waste for whi
28、ch the results of performed analysis are to be calculated to the dry matter basis. Depending on the nature and origin of the sample, the calculation is based on a determination of the dry residue (Method A) or a determination of the water content (Method B). It applies to samples containing more tha
29、n 1 % (mass fraction) of dry residue or more than 1 % (mass fraction) of water. Method A applies to sludge, treated biowaste, soil and solid waste. Method B applies to liquid waste and to samples which are suspected or known to contain volatiles except for water. 2 Normative references The following
30、 documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

32、le after a drying process at 105 C under specified conditions 3.2 water content mass fraction of water in a sample determined by the method after drying at 105 C or by Karl-Fischer-titration under specified conditions 3.3 dry matter fraction mass fraction of a sample excluding water expressed as mas
33、s fraction calculated by determination of dry residue or water content 4 Principle 4.1 General Depending on the origin (sludge, biowaste, soil, waste) and the nature of the sample (liquid, solid or multiphase) either the water content or the dry residue is to be determined. The results from the dete
34、rmination of water content or dry residue are used to calculate the dry matter fraction. In case of multiphase (waste) samples these samples shall be homogenized. If homogenization is not possible, a phase separation according to EN 15002 shall be applicable and the phases are analysed separately. B
35、S EN 15934:2012EN 15934:2012 (E) 6 4.2 Principle of Method A Drying at 105 C (dry residue) The sample is dried to a constant mass at 105 C. This method applies to solid samples and samples which become solid during the drying process. The method generally applies to soil, sludge and treated biowaste
36、. Solid samples containing amounts of volatiles which are expected to affect the results shall be analysed by Method B. 4.3 Principle of Method B Direct Karl-Fischer-titration (water content) The method usually applies to liquid samples and homogenised multiphase samples. It can also be used for sol
37、id samples in case the “water content” is of interest and in case volatiles are expected to interfere with the determination according to Method A. The water content of a sample is determined by direct Karl-Fischer-titration and either volumetric or coulometric detection. Liquid samples are directly
38、 added to the cell, while solid samples are extracted by use of methanol. 5 Sample preparation Pretreat the samples according to EN 16179 or EN 15002, if not otherwise specified. 6 Method A Drying at 105 C 6.1 General When performing any kind of analysis on samples, the dry matter fraction shall be
39、determined simultaneously on identical test portions, in order to base all other test results on the determined dry matter content of each individual sample. 6.2 Interferences The samples can change during the drying process, e.g. by absorption of carbon dioxide in the case of alkaline samples, or o
40、f oxygen by reducing substances. Volatile compounds evaporating at 105 C are measured as water using this procedure. NOTE For alkaline samples or samples susceptible to oxidation the drying can be carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere. 6.3 Hazards Flammable or explosive gases may be released in the d
41、rying process. 6.4 Apparatus 6.4.1 Drying system thermostatically controlled and capable of maintaining a temperature of (105 5) C; e.g. drying oven, infrared system, halogen lamp system. 6.4.2 Desiccator with an active drying agent such as silica gel. 6.4.3 Precision balance with an accuracy of 1 m
42、g or better. 6.4.4 Evaporating dish or crucible. Temperature tolerant laboratory vessel withstanding 105 C. Suitable materials are metallic, ceramic, borosilicate glass or quartz. NOTE 1 If the sample is to be ashed following this procedure, it should be ensured that the material will withstand the
43、elevated temperatures. BS EN 15934:2012EN 15934:2012 (E) 7 NOTE 2 The material of the evaporating dish or crucible should be compatible with the nature of the sample to avoid interferences upon weighing due to possible oxidations. 6.5 Procedure Place an evaporating dish or crucible (6.4.4) in the dr
44、ying system (6.4.1) set at (105 5) C for a minimum of 30 min. After cooling in the desiccator (6.4.2) to ambient temperature, weigh the basin to the nearest 1 mg. Depending on the expected dry residue, weigh into the evaporating dish or crucible (6.4.4) a suitable amount of material so that the resi
45、due obtained has a weight of at least 0,5 g. Weigh the loaded basin to the nearest 1 mg. Place the evaporating dish or crucible (6.4.4) containing the sample in the drying system (6.4.1) set at (105 5) C until the residue appears dry, typically overnight. NOTE For some samples e.g. sludge, there is
46、a risk of formation of a cake surface, which hinders an even drying. To avoid this, a glass rod can be weighed along with the dish. If cake formation occurs during drying, the glass rod is used to stir the sample, to break up the cake. This should be repeated as necessary. The rod should be reweighe
47、d afterwards. After cooling in the desiccator (6.4.2) weigh the evaporating dish or crucible and contents for the first time. The dry residue shall be regarded as constant if the mass obtained after further 1 h of drying does not differ by more than 0,5 % of the previous value or 2 mg whichever is t
48、he greater. Otherwise repeat the drying process. In case of weight inconstancy after three cycles the drying process may be stopped (after at least 16 h). The result of the last weighing shall be recorded in the test report. A drying period of 16 h is sufficient. In case of infrared or halogen lamp
49、drying systems the corresponding manufacturers instructions apply. The technique of choice shall be recorded in the test report. Other techniques than oven drying, infrared or halogen lamp drying are allowed, provided they are proven to give comparable results. 6.6 Calculation of results The dry residue is calculated according to Formula (1): fmmmmw =abacdr(1) where wdris the dry residue of the sample, expressed as mass fraction in percent
