25、ies, especially relating to technical requirements for waste characterization as sulfide bearing materials may generate sulfuric acid when subjected to weathering. Test methods for the determination of acid generation behaviour can be divided in static and kinetic tests. A static test is usually rel
26、atively fast to perform, but gives only indicative information based on total composition of the waste material. The kinetic test gives more detailed information on behaviour based on reaction rates under specified conditions. This standard only covers static testing. The application of this test me
27、thod alone may not be sufficient to determine the actual potential in the field for the formation of acidic drainage as site specific conditions will affect the behaviour in the field and require a more detailed assessment. To carry out a more precise assessment of the acid generation potential and
28、buffering capacity mineralogical information is required. A number of special cases can be identified: e.g. presence of sulfate (e.g. gypsum), non-acid producing sulfides or carbonates with no buffering capacity. Acid neutralisation behaviour as obtained by other methods can provide additional infor
29、mation in circumstances of uncertainty. DIN EN 15875:2012-11 EN 15875:2011 + AC:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard specifies methods to determine the potential of sulfide bearing materials for the formation of acidic drainage. Specified are methods for determining both the acid potential (AP)
30、 and the neutralisation potential (NP) of the material. From these results the net neutralisation potential (NNP) and the neutralisation potential ratio (NPR) are calculated. This European standard is applicable to all sulfide bearing wastes from the extractive industries excluding wastes which will
31、 have pH 6,0 20Measure and record the pH of the slurry after 22 h 15 min. If the pH is above 2,5 add HCl (6.1.2) to adjust the pH between 2,0 and 2,5. It is strongly recommended to adjust the pH as close as possible to 2,0 to ensure being in the range of pH = 2,0 to 2,5 at t = 24 h. Record the exact
32、 volume added (VA, t=22h) and the pH after the acid addition. If the pH at t = 22 h before acid addition is below pH = 2,0, too much acid was added in the beginning of the test and the test shall be repeated adding a smaller volume of acid. For the repeated test use the acid addition at start (t = 0
33、) in table 1 one line above the one used in the discarded test. EXAMPLE 1 In the test the added HCl was VA, t=0= 1,5 ml which corresponds to line 2 in table 1. At t = 22 h the measured pH was pH 2,5). If neither a smaller nor a bigger volume of initial acid addition from Table 1 leads to completion
34、of the test due to problems described in examples above it is allowed to use an initial volume of acid deviating from Table 1. This deviation should be documented in the test report together with information of the acid volumes used in the preceding trials. EXAMPLE 3 VA, t=0= 10 ml is used correspon
35、ding to line 7 in Table 1. At t = 22 h pH is adjusted to 2,0. Still, pH of the slurry is above 2,5 at t = 24 h. In the next trial VA, t=0= 14 ml is used corresponding to line 8 in table 1 leading to pH of the slurry being below 2,0 at t = 22 h. For the following trial e.g. VA, t=0= 12 ml may be trie

DIN EN 15875:2012-11 EN 15875:2011 + AC:2012 (E) 12 NOTE 2 Materials usually contain other neutralizing compounds than calcium carbonate, which may react slower than calcium carbonate and thus leads to underestimation of NP. (See Annex B). Titrate the slurry to a pH of 8,3 using a sodium hydroxid
37、e solution (6.1.3). Record the exact volume of NaOH consumed in titration. NOTE 3 The end point of the back-titration is 8,3, being the usual endpoint for acidity titrations, corresponding to the stoichiometric equivalence point for carbonate/bicarbonate in natural waters in which carbonic acid is t
38、he most dominant weak acid. NOTE 4 An example of a data sheet for the recording of test results is given in Annex A, Table A.1. 8.2.4 Calculation Calculate the NP of the sample expressed as H+content in mol/kg and as carbonate equivalents (CaCO3) in kg/t as follows: a) expressed as H+content in mol/
39、kg (Equation (5) dBA(NaOH)(NaOH)(HCl)(HCl)NPMVcVc = (5) where c(HCl) is the concentration of HCl in mol/l; VA(HCl) is the volume of HCl added (VA, t=0 + VA, t=22h) in ml; c(NaOH) is the concentration of NaOH in mol/l; VB(NaOH) is the volume of NaOH used in back titration in ml; Mdis the dry mass of

41、alculated in H+content in mol/kg. The resulting neutralisation potential ratio (NPR) (potential for neutralisation of acidic drainages) is assessed using the formula in Equation (7): APNPNPR = (7) NOTE 1 A NPR 1 should be enough to avoid acidic drainage. However, the reaction rates may differ betwee
42、n AP minerals and NP minerals. Different mineralogy and crystalline structure may also lead to different availability. Thus, there is a range of NPR-values which will be interpreted as uncertain. (see Annex B). NOTE 2 In some countries the acid potential is expressed as pyrite in mol/kg instead of H
43、+in mol/kg, these figures differ by a factor of 4. Consequently, the value for insufficient neutralisation capacity would be NPR 2 provides an additional source of acidity. These minerals are therefore important as both sinks and potential sources of acidity. B.3.2 Neutralisation potential The deter
44、mination of neutralisation potential (NP) is dependent on a number of parameters. Apart from sample mineralogy, the most important have been identified as being sample pre-treatment, temperature, testing time, particle size, end pH and back-titration pH. Some of them have already been defined in exi
45、sting international method descriptions (Lawrence and Wang 3), with levels set where results have been empirically proven to be appropriate. Other important parameters have been defined in this standard to increase the reproducibility and comparability of results. All NP is assumed to react like cal
46、cite in acidic conditions CaCO3+ 2H+ Ca2+ H2CO30 (B.4) Fe and Mn carbonates are not neutralising under aerobic conditions (i.e. siderite, FeCO3, and rhodochrosite, MnCO3.); Silicates (and some other minerals) will contribute to the neutralisation to some extent (slower reaction than calcite); In sul
47、fidic soils (clays) organic matter may contribute significantly to the neutralising capacity. When using the test described in this European standard it is assumed that all neutralisating capacity is determined within the testing time of 24 h. However, some minerals react faster, others slower. To g
48、ive an indication of reactivity of some carbonate minerals the following sequence may be used: monohydrocalcite aragonite calcite dolomite magnesite siderite rhodochrosite In Table B.1, a more detailed list of carbonate minerals is shown.
