2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the recov-ery of a desired product in a device
3、processing solid waste forthe purpose of concentrating a component of interest. Therecovery is determined with respect to the amount of thedesired component in one output stream (accepts) as opposedto another output stream (rejects). The results of this calcula-tion determine the effectiveness of co

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any,

Summary of Test Method
18、4.1 Percent recovery of a component can be calculatedeither by measuring the throughput of component x (mass perunit time) in the input (feed) and the throughput of componentx in the output (accepts) process streams, or by measuring thepurity of the input and output streams.4.1.1 The throughputs are
19、 measured as described in TestMethod E1107.4.1.2 The purity analyses are described in Test MethodE889.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to document the ability of asolid waste resource recovery separator to capture the compo-nent(s) of interest in the desired process stream.5.2 The
20、 recovery determined in this way is used in conjunc-tion with the purity of the product, as described in Test MethodE889.6. Precautions6.1 This procedure calls for the hand-picking of solid wasteand its processed fractions. Because the origin of all of thematerials is generally unknown, workers must
21、 use propersafety precautions when handling samples. Workers shall weargloves and safety glasses. When appropriate, dust masks shallbe worn. Workers must be cautioned to wash their handsthoroughly before eating or smoking.6.2 Safety precautions must be taken when collectingsamples or working near mo
22、ving equipment.7. Sampling7.1 If throughputs are to be measured, samples are takenfrom input and output process streams, in accordance withprocedures included in Test Method E1107.7.2 For a binary separator, only the input and one output orboth output streams are sampled. If only one output stream i
23、ssampled, it should be the one in which the component(s) ofinterest is concentrated (the accept). The output stream isalways sampled before the input stream in order not to disturbthe steady state operation of the separator.7.3 For a polynary separator, only the throughput method isused. Input plus
24、the output containing the component(s) ofinterest are sampled.7.4 Sampling and containment must be done in a manner topreserve the integrity of the component(s) of interest and themass of the entire sample.8. Test Specimens and Samples8.1 If throughput is to be measured, follow the procedures inTest
25、 Method E1107.8.2 If purity is to be measured, follow the procedures in TestMethod E889.9. Conditioning9.1 If the throughput method is to be used, follow theprocedure in Test Method E1107.9.2 If the purity method is to be used, follow the procedurein Test Method E889.10. Procedure10.1 It is necessar
26、y that the separator attain steady-stateoperation before sampling is done. Performing only onerecovery analysis does not ensure steady-state conditions. Theseparator must be operating without changes in feed quantity orcomposition, and without changes in operation mode, for atleast 30 min before sam
27、pling. The results of a series ofrecovery determinations will confirm the presence of steady-state operation.10.2 If the throughput method is to be used, follow theprocedures in Test Method E1107.10.2.1 Sample the input stream and the output stream thatcontains the concentrated fraction of the compo
28、nent(s) ofinterest.10.3 If the purity method is to be used, follow the proce-dures in Test Method E889.10.3.1 Sample the input stream and both output streams.11. Calculations11.1 If throughputs are measured, calculate the percentrecovery of a component x as follows:Percent recovery ofx 5 Rx5 QA3 100
29、!/QF(1)where:QA= the throughput of x in the concentrated output stream(accepts) as kg/s, andQF= the throughput of x in the input stream, as kg/s.11.2 If purity is measured, compute the percent recovery ofa component x in a binary separator as follows:Percent recovery ofx 5 Rx5 PAPF2 PB# 3 100!/PFPA2
30、 PB#(2)where:PF= the purity of the input stream, as mass of x in the streamdivided by the total mass of the stream,PA= the purity of the concentrated output stream (accepts),andPB= the purity of the dilute process stream (rejects), withpurity expressed as before.11.3 If a polynary separator is emplo
