18、nd soil”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 20
19、13. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commi
20、ssion and the European Free Trade Association. The preparation of this document by CEN is based on a mandate by the European Commission (Mandate M/330), which assigned the development of standards on sampling and analytical methods for hygienic and biological parameters as well as inorganic and orga
21、nic determinants, aiming to make these standards applicable to sludge, treated biowaste and soil as far as this is technically feasible. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: A

DIN EN 15936:2012-11EN 15936:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This 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). Table 1 Matrices for which this Europe
24、an Standard is applicable and validated Matrix Materials used for validation Sludge Municipal sludge Biowaste Compost, Fresh Compost Soil Sludge amended soil, Agricultural soil Waste Filter cake,Bottom ash, Electro-plating sludge, Dredged sludge, Rubble WARNING Persons using this European Standard s
25、hould be familiar with usual laboratory 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 regul
26、atory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard be carried out by suitably trained staff. DIN EN 15936:2012-11EN 15936:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of total organic carbon (TOC) i
27、n sludge, treated biowaste, soil, waste and sediment samples containing more than 1 g carbon per kg of dry matter (0,1 %). For sludge, treated biowaste and soil only Method A is validated. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this documen
28、t and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

30、itions apply. 3.1 total carbon TC quantity of carbon present in the sample in the form of organic, inorganic and elementary carbon 3.2 total inorganic carbon TIC quantity of carbon that is liberated as carbon dioxide by acid treatment 3.3 total organic carbon TOC quantity of carbon that is converted
31、 into carbon dioxide by combustion and which is not liberated as carbon dioxide by acid treatment 4 Principle 4.1 Method A (indirect procedure) In this procedure, the TOC is obtained by the difference between the results of the measurements of TC and TIC. The total carbon (TC) present in the sample
32、is converted to carbon dioxide by combustion in an oxygen-containing gas flow free of carbon dioxide. To ensure complete combustion, catalysts and/or modifiers can be used. The released amount of carbon dioxide is measured by infrared spectrometry, thermal conductivity detection, flame ionisation de
33、tection after reduction to methane, or by gravimetry, coulometry, conductometry after absorption. DIN EN 15936:2012-11EN 15936:2012 (E) 6 The TIC is determined separately from another sub-sample by means of acidification and purging of the released carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is measured by o
34、ne of the techniques mentioned above. Alternatively, for soil the total organic carbon content may be calculated by determining the total carbon content and subtracting the carbon present as carbonate, which can be determined according to ISO 10693 (volumetric method). 4.2 Method B (direct procedure
35、) In this procedure, the carbonates present in the sample are previously removed by treating the sample with acid. The carbon dioxide released by the following combustion step is measured by one of the techniques mentioned in 4.1 and indicates the TOC directly. 4.3 Applicability of Methods A or B Me
36、thods A and B have the same applicability for the determination of TOC and/or the determination of the TIC to TOC ratio. In samples with relatively high inorganic carbon contents method B should be applied. Method B may lead to incorrect results in the following cases: the sample contains volatile s
37、ubstances that evaporate during the acidification (e.g. volatile hydrocarbons from sludge of oil separators); side reactions between the sample and the acid take place (e.g. decarboxylation, volatile reaction products). NOTE The quality of results of Method B is dependent on experience and practice,
38、 especially regarding the steps before the determination of TOC. Use of automatic dispensing units regarding removal of carbonates prior to determination of TOC may improve the performance of Method B. 5 Interferences Volatile organic substances may be lost during sample preparation. If necessary, t
39、he carbon content resulting from volatile organic substances shall be determined separately. Depending on the laboratory experience with samples containing high amounts of carbonate the procedures may lead to unreliable TOC results if the TIC to TOC ratio is very high (e.g. 10). Depending on the det
40、ection method used, different interferences may occur, for instance: the presence of cyanide may interfere with the coulometric detection of TIC by modifying the pH value (dissolution of HCN); high content of halogenated compounds may lead to an overestimation of TOC when coulometric detection is us
41、ed; in some cases the classical silver or copper trap can be insufficient to absorb all halides. When present, elementary carbon, carbides, cyanides, cyanates, isocyanates, isothiocyanates and thiocyanates are determined as organic carbon using the methods described in this European Standard. An int
42、erpretation of the measured value may therefore be problematic in cases where the sample contains relevant levels of the above-mentioned components. If needed, these components shall be determined separately by means of a suitable validated method and be recorded in the test report. Elementary carbo
43、n, determined separately, may be subtracted if required for the sample. If this is done this shall be reported by the laboratory.
