13、servedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for whi
14、ch a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all m
15、atters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are cir
16、culated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held respon

19、aviolet (UV) radiation, and characterizes the ability of photoactive surfaces to degrade dissolved organic molecules on ultraviolet radiation.

This method is not applicable to characterizing the photoactivity of surfaces on visible illumination, regarding direct soiling, degradation of gaseous molecules and the determination of antimicrobial photoactivity of surfaces. NOTE Correlations between these different kinds of photocatalytic acti

29、 light not capable of inducing the direct photolysis of the dye (320 nm u u 400 nm), with the overall result being the decolourization of the solution. The amount of dye remaining in the solution is determined at regular intervals during the UV-radiation period using UV/visible (vis)-spectroscopy. A
30、 reference measurement is either performed with the same sample without UV radiation or with an identical sample in a second container with the photoactive surface protected by a cover from the incident light beam. The results are used to calculate the specific degradation rates and the respective p
31、hotonic efficiencies characteristic of the surface tested. 5 Apparatus 5.1 General Apparatus that will be in contact with the methylene blue solution shall be made from materials exhibiting no or just a very small tendency to adsorb this dye on its surface, e.g. glass, stainless steel, polyethylene,
32、 polypropylene, polyacrylate, silicones with low organic emission. The test arrangement shall exhibit minimal stray light. 5.2 Measuring device, either two testing cylinders fixed on the sample surface by a suitable glue, or two testing cells, each consisting of a vessel with a sample holder (for a
33、schematic diagram of a suitable measuring device, see Annex B). 5.3 Glass pane, to cover the measuring cell exhibiting minimal absorbance within the spectral emission region of the UV-radiation light source (5.4). 5.4 UV-radiation light source, i.e. a narrow-band emitter in the wavelength range betw
34、een = 320 nm and = 400 nm (UV-A) with a UV-radiation intensity of E = (10 0,5) W/m2, measured at the height of the sample underneath the covering glass pane. 5.5 UV radiometer (sensor), to measure the UV-radiation intensity, calibrated to closely match the characteristic of the UV-radiation light so

36、700 nm). 6 Calibration The apparatus according to 5.5 and 5.6, as well as the balances used, shall be calibrated following the instructions for equipment monitoring. 7 Measuring and conditioning solution Aqueous methylene blue solutions shall be used for both the measurement and the conditioning. Th
37、e methylene blue solutions shall be prepared freshly from stock solutions stored in the dark using distilled water in the absence of any other additives. The initial MB concentration c0for the test solution shall be c0= (10 0,5) mol/L. The conditioning solution shall be prepared at a concentration o
38、f c = (20 1) mol/L. The absorbance, A, of the solutions shall be calculated using Equation (1): A cd= (1) BS ISO 10678:2010ISO 10678:2010(E) 4 ISO 2010 All rights reservedNOTE 1 The absorbance amounts are A,max= 0,74 (for the test solution) and A,max= 1,48 (for the conditioning solution), at a measu
39、ring length of d = 10 mm. NOTE 2 Methylene blue (C16H18ClN3S 3H2O; M = 373,90 g/mol) is a dye with a small absorbance in the wavelength range between = 350 nm and = 450 nm. MB has a molar extinction coefficient of (664 nm) = 7402,8 m2/mol in an aqueous solution at a concentration of c = (10 0,5) mol
40、/L (see Reference 2). 8 Sample preparation The sample shall have a geometrical surface area between (100 1) mm2and (1 500 15) mm2. It shall first be cleaned following the manufacturers instructions. Following the last cleaning step, it shall be illuminated for 24 h to 72 h by UV light with a wavelen
41、gth of 10 W/m2. If the apparatus shown in Figure B.1 is used, the amount of MB solution shall be (35 0,3) mL. Afterwards, two similar samples shall be conditioned by placing each of them in a separate vessel with conditioning solution (see Clause 7). Alternatively, this conditioning solution may be
42、poured into a cylinder fixed onto the sample surface. This conditioning phase shall last for at least 12 h in the dark. If the dye concentration in the conditioning solution is lower than that of the test solution at the end of the conditioning period, the conditioning shall be repeated using a fres
43、h conditioning solution. 9 Preparation of the measurement If testing cells (see Figure B.2) are used, place both conditioned samples in the measuring device (5.2) with the test solutions (see Clause 7) and keep them in the dark. Using testing cylinders fixed onto the sample surface, replace the cond
44、itioning solution with test solution at the time t0(see Figure 1). The height of the MB test solution above the photoactive surface shall be between 20 mm and 50 mm. The volume of the test solution shall be at least ten times greater than the volume of the measuring solution required for the measure
45、ment in the spectrophotometer. Exactly determine the total volume of the test solution. NOTE For the fixed cylinder, the total volume of the test solution is usually 50 ml at a covered area of A = 1 000 mm2and a filling height of 50 mm.
