1、Designation: D 2867 04Standard Test Methods forMoisture in Activated Carbon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2867; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenthe

2、ses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods provide two procedures for thedetermination of the m

3、oisture content of activated carbon. Theprocedures may also be used to dry samples required for othertests. The oven-drying method is used when water is the onlyvolatile material present and is in significant quantities, and theactivated carbon is not heat-sensitive (some activated carbonscan ignite

4、 spontaneously at temperatures as low as 150C). Thexylene-extraction method is used when a carbon is known orsuspected to be heat sensitive or to contain nonwater-miscibleorganic compounds instead of or in addition to water. Theoven-drying method described in these test methods may beused as the ref

5、erence for development of instrumental tech-niques for moisture determination in activated carbon.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health

6、 practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

7、Summary of Test Methods3.1 Oven-Drying Test MethodA sample of carbon is putinto a dry, closed capsule (of known weight) and weighedaccurately. The capsule is opened and placed with the lid in apreheated oven. The sample is dried to constant weight thenremoved from the oven and with the capsule close

8、d, cooled toambient temperature. The closed capsule is weighed againaccurately. The weight loss is expressed as a percentage of theweight of the original sample.3.2 Xylene-Extraction Test Method A known, accurateweight of carbon is put into a boiling flask. A known volume ofxylene is added to the fl

9、ask and the flask then connected to awater trap. A hot plate is used to heat the xylene until boiling.The temperature is controlled to allow steady reflux. Refluxcontinues until no further water can be collected in the trap.The weight of water collected is expressed as a percentage ofthe weight of t

10、he original sample.4. Significance and Use4.1 The moisture content of activated carbon is oftenrequired to define and express its properties in relation to thenet weight of the carbon.4.2 The moisture content of activated carbon packed intypical shipping containers will usually increase during trans

11、-portation and storage. Users of activated carbon in applicationswhere low moisture content is important should be aware ofthis effect.OVEN-DRYING METHOD5.

22、1 The use of hot xylene presents a continual fire hazardand suitable fire extinguishing equipment should be available.13. Preparation of Apparatus13.1 Clean the condenser, flask, and trap and carefully dryto ensure that it is free of water. Assemble the condenser andwater trap as shown in Fig. 1.14.

23、 Procedure14.1 Weigh the sample bottle. Dip out with a spoon from thesample bottle 25 to 50 g of the sample. Put this into the boilingflask and reweigh the sample bottle to the nearest 0.1 g. Add100 mL of xylene and connect the boiling flask to the watertrap. For carbons having density less than 0.3

24、0 g/cm3, 200 mLof xylene should be used for a 25-g sample.14.2 Place the hot plate under the boiling flask and heat toboiling. Adjust the temperature control so as to reflux thexylene at the rate of about 1 drop/s from the tip of thecondenser. Continue to reflux until there is no further increasein

28、 (USPC), Rockville,MD.D 2867 04216. Precision and Bias16.1 An interlaboratory test which included four laborato-ries testing in triplicate, activated carbon samples with nominalmoisture levels of 1 weight %, 5 weight %, and 12 weight %,was conducted according to Practice E 691. Results of thesetests

29、 yielded repeatability and reproducibility coefficients at95 % confidence levels as listed in Table 1.16.1.1 The high coefficients of variation for both testmethods when the moisture is nominally 1 weight % suggeststhat values in this range be reported as “1 weight % or less.” Ifgreater precision is

30、 needed, the amount of carbon sample canbe increased over that specified in Sections 7, 8, and 14.17.
