This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. The preparation of this document by CEN is based on a mandate by the European Commission (Mandat

BS EN 16166:2012EN 16166:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This document is the result of a desk study
21、“Horizontal European standard for determination of AOX in sewage sludge and comparable matrices“ in the project “Horizontal“ and aims at evaluating the latest developments in assessing AOX in sludge, soil, treated biowaste and neighbouring fields. After an evaluation study, in which the ruggedness o
22、f the method was studied, a European wide validation of the draft standard has taken place. The results of the desk studies as well as the evaluation and validation studies have been subject to discussions with all parties involved in the evaluation. This European Standard is applicable and validate
23、d 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 European Standard is applicable and validated Matrix Materials used for validation Sludge Municipal sludge Compost Fresh compost Compost Soil Sludge amended s
24、oil Agricultural soil WARNING Persons using this European Standard should 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 a
25、nd health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard be carried out by suitably trained staff. BS EN 16166:2012EN 16166:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a
26、n empirical method for the direct determination of organically bound chlorine, bromine and iodine (but not fluorine) adsorbed and occluded to the sample matrix. Non-volatile organically bound halogens adsorbable on activated carbon present in the aqueous phase of the sample prior to drying or adsorb
27、ed to sample surface are included in the determination. This European Standard is intended for analysis of sludge, treated biowaste or soil in concentrations ranging from 5 mg/kg dry matter to approximately 6 g/kg dry matter. The exact concentration range covered depends on the instrument used for d
28、etermination. 2 Normative references The following 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. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (inclu
29、ding any amendments) applies. EN 16179, Sludge, treated biowaste and soil Guidance for sample pretreatment EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods (ISO 3696) EN ISO 5667-15, Water quality Sampling Part 15: Guidance on the preservation and handling of sludge an
30、d sediment samples (ISO 5667-15) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 adsorbable organically bound halogens AOX equivalent amount of chlorine, bromine, and iodine contained in organic compounds, expressed as chloride when determine
31、d according to this European Standard 4 Principle Activated carbon is added to a dried, homogenised solid sample. Inorganic halides are eluted and at the same time water soluble organic compounds are adsorbed onto the activated carbon by shaking with acidified nitrate solution. The loaded carbon/sam
32、ple mixture is combusted in an oxygen stream. The hydrogen halides produced are absorbed followed by determination of the halide ions by an argentometric titration, such as microcoulometry. The result is expressed as the mass concentration of chloride. 5 Interferences Sparingly soluble or occluded i
33、norganic halides are included in the determination and may, if present, give a significant positive bias. Adequate washing is essential to remove inorganic interference. NOTE Halogenated substances that volatilise at 105 C are lost. Organic bromine and iodine compounds may, during combustion, lead t
34、o the formation of elemental bromine or iodine respectively or to the formation of halogen oxides. The determination of these AOX fractions may be incomplete, thus leading to negative bias. BS EN 16166:2012EN 16166:2012 (E) 6 6 Reagents Use only reagents of recognised analytical grade and water grad
35、e 1 in accordance with EN ISO 3696. The AOX contribution from water, reagents and gases should be significantly lower than the lowest AOX content to be determined. The overall AOX content of water, chemicals, and gases shall be checked by measuring the total blank (see 9.6). 6.1 Activated carbon, gr

The blank value of the washed activated carbon shall be less than 15 g of chloride equivalent per gram of activated carbon. 6.2 Nitric acid, HNO3, = 1,4 g/ml, 65 % (mass fraction) solution. 6.3 Hydrochloric acid,
37、c(HCl) = 0,100 mol/l. The molarity shall be precisely known, since the acid is used for checking the micro-titration (see 9.4.3). 6.4 Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, = 1,84 g/ml. 6.5 Gases for combustion, e.g. oxygen (O2), or a mixture of oxygen and an inert gas. 6.6 Sodium nitrate, NaNO3, for the preparation
