1、Designation: D2867 09Standard Test Methods forMoisture in Activated Carbon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2867; 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 parenthese

2、s indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 three procedures for thedetermination of the mo

3、isture content of activated carbon. Theprocedures may also be used to dry samples required for othertests. The oven-drying and moisture balance methods are usedwhen water is the only volatile material present and is insignificant quantities, and the activated carbon is not heat-sensitive (some activ

4、ated carbons can ignite spontaneously attemperatures as low as 150C). The xylene-extraction methodis used when a carbon is known or suspected to be heatsensitive or to contain nonwater-miscible organic compoundsinstead of or in addition to water. The oven-drying methoddescribed in these test methods

5、 may be used as the referencefor development of instrumental techniques for moisture de-termination in activated carbon.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the

6、safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

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 i

8、s opened and placed with the lid in apreheated oven. The sample is dried to constant weight thenremoved from the oven and with the capsule closed, cooled toambient temperature. The closed capsule is weighed againaccurately. The weight loss is expressed as a percentage of theweight of the original sa

9、mple.3.2 Xylene-Extraction Test Method A known, accurateweight of carbon is put into a boiling flask.Aknown volume ofxylene is added to the flask 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. Re

10、fluxcontinues until no further water can be collected in the trap.The weight of water collected is expressed as a percentage ofthe weight of the original sample.3.3 Moisture Balance Test MethodA sample of activatedcarbon is placed in a moisture balance and the weight measuredaccurately. The sample i

11、s dried to constant weight. The weightloss is expressed as a percentage of the weight of the originalsample.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

12、 activated carbon packed intypical shipping containers will usually increase during trans-portation and storage. Users of activated carbon in applicationswhere low moisture content is important should be aware ofthis effect.OVEN-DRYING METHOD5. Apparatus5.1 Moisture OvenMost commercial, electrically

13、 heated,forced-circulation drying ovens capable of temperature regu-lation between 145 and 155C may be used.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D28 onActivated Carbon and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D28.04 on GasPhase Evaluation Tests.Current edition ap

For carbons having density less than 0.30 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

30、g source is preferred due to the very strongabsorption of infrared radiation by activated carbon and the resultingtemperature increase to values higher than that of the surroundingatmosphere.17. Procedure for Activated Carbon Passing a No. 50Sieve.17.1 Set up the moisture balance according to the ma

31、nufac-turers instructions. The temperature should not exceed 150C.17.2 Place a representative sample of about 1 to 2-g into themoisture balance and determine its weight to the nearest 0.1mg.17.3 Close the lid and start the machine.17.4 Once the weight loss under these drying conditions isless than 1

32、 mg over 30 s, the sample is considered dry and thepercent mass loss should be recorded to the nearest 0.1 %.18. Procedure for Activated Carbon Larger Than a No.50 Sieve18.1 Set up the moisture balance according to the manufac-turers instructions. The temperature should not exceed 150C.18.2 Place a

33、representative sample of about 5 to 10-g intothe moisture balance and determine its weight to the nearest 0.1mg.18.3 Complete the determination as described in Section 17.19. Calculation19.1 Calculate the moisture content as follows:Moisture, weight % 5 A B!/A 3 100where:A = weight of sample before

Precision and Bias20.1 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 E691. Results

35、 of thesetests yielded repeatability and reproducibility coefficients at95 % confidence levels as listed in Table 1 .20.1.1 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.” Ifgreat

36、er precision is needed, the amount of carbon sample canbe increased over that specified in Sections 7, 8, and 14.20.2 No precision and bias statement has been developed onthe moisture balance method; however, it is anticipated that itwill be developed.21.
