1、Designation: D 3466 06Standard Test Method forIgnition Temperature of Granular Activated Carbon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3466; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of referenceignition temperature of granular activated carbon in flowingair. This test met

3、hod provides a basis for comparing theignition characteristics of different carbons, or the change inignition characteristics of the same carbon after a period ofservice.1.2 The ignition temperature as determined by this testmethod cannot be interpreted as the probable ignition tempera-ture of the s

4、ame carbon under the operating conditions of aspecific application unless those conditions are essentially thesame as those in this test method.2If it is desired to determinethe ignition temperature of the carbon under a specific set ofoperating conditions, the test may be modified to simulate suchc

5、onditions, taking into consideration the following variables:(1) air flow rate; (2) moisture content of the carbon; (3) beddepth; (4) relative humidity of the air stream; (5) heating rate;(6) contaminants (for example, hydrocarbons, etc.) in the airstream; and (7) contaminants that may have been ads

6、orbed bythe carbon under prior service conditions.1.3 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 practices and determine the applica-bility of r

9、e of carbon is exposed to a heated air stream, thetemperature of which is slowly increased until the carbonignites. The temperature of the carbon bed and of the airentering the bed are recorded, and ignition is defined as thepoint at which the carbon temperature suddenly rises above thetemperature o

10、f the air entering the bed.5. Significance and Use5.1 Activated carbons used in gas-phase adsorption may besubjected to heating, either from heat applied externally to thecarbon bed, or heat generated by radioactive4contaminants, orby the adsorption process itself. If the application of heat issudde

11、n, or if no ample means to conduct the heat from thecarbon bed exists, the carbon bed may ignite. This test methodprovides a controlled laboratory test to determine the tempera-tures at which such ignition occurs. As stated in 1.2, this doesnot necessarily give the temperature at which ignition will

12、occur under a specific bed operating condition. This testmethod does, however, allow some ranking of carbons withregard to ignition temperature, and is a useful quality-controlmethod for unused carbons.6.

Hazards7.1 The temperature rise in a carbon bed is quite sudden atignition. An adequate supply of nitrogen and an

Do not stopnitrogen flow until all thermocouples indicate temperaturessubstantially below ignition.7.2 Combustion products of carbon or carbon impreg-nantsmay be toxic. It is advisable to conduct this test in a fume hood.8. Sampling8.

Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Assemble apparatus as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.9.2 Leak test the assembly and eliminate any leakage.9.3 Obtain a representative sample of carbon of approxi-mately 35 mL in accordance with Prac

21、tice E 300. Blow cleandry oil-free air through the sample, retained between 150-msieves, to remove carbon dust. The flow velocity through thesieves shall be 60 6 20 m/min.FIG. 1 Ignition Tube and Sample AssemblyD 3466 0629.4 Fill the ignition tube (Fig. 1) to a depth of 25 6 1 mm,using the apparatus

22、 and procedure described in Test MethodD 2854. Cover the sample with quartz beads to a depth of atleast 15 mm to prevent fluidization of the carbon bed.10. Calibration10.1 Thermocouples, recorder, and flowmeters require peri-odic calibration by standard laboratory techniques, for ex-ample, Method E

23、220, for thermocouples, and Practice D 3195,for rotometertype flowmeters.11. Procedure11.1 Adjust the air flow rate to 14.7 6 0.3 L/min, equivalentto a superificial velocity of 30 6 0.5 m/min.11.2 Adjust the variable transformer or temperature pro-grammer to increase the temperature of the air strea

24、m reachingthe sample at a rate of approximately 10C/min (as indicatedby Thermocouple T-13). Continue until air temperature reachesapproximately 150C, or when the air temperature is approxi-mately 50C below the anticipated ignition temperature of thesample. At this point, adjust the variable transfor

25、mer orprogram drive to reduce the air heating rate to approximately 2to 3C/min.11.3 Maintain the heating rate of 2 to 3C/min until ignitionis achieved, as indicated by a sudden rise in the temperaturemeasured by thermocouple T-1 or T-2.11.4 On ignition, cut off air flow immediately and introducenitr

Draw tangentsto the heating curves before and after ignition, as shown in Fig.3; ignition temperature is the intersection of the tangents.Repeat fo

27、r thermocouple T-1. The ignition temperature for thecarbon is defined from the thermocouple that first showsignition.13. Report13.1 Report the following information:13.1.1 Name of the carbon manufacturer,13.1.2 Grade designation and nominal particle size range,13.1.3 Average ignition temperature and

28、 whether ignitionoccurred first at the upstream (T-1) or downstream (T-2)thermocouple,13.1.4 Temperature of the inlet air at the time of ignition,13.1.5 Name of the agency and technician making the test,and13.1.6 Identification number and date of the test.14. Precision and Bias14.1 The bias of this

29、test method is basically the bias of thethermocouple-recorder system. The sensitivity of the ignitionpoint to gas velocity varies from carbon to carbon. Milham andKovach have reported a maximum rate of change of ignitionpoint of 250C/(m/s). Thus, the control of flow to 60.5 m/min,(0.0083 m/s) requir

30、ed in 11.1, should introduce no more than62C error in the measurement. Such repeatability appears tohave been obtained in the above-mentioned studies, when oneconsiders reasonable variations in properties for successivesamples of the same carbons; the actual ignition temperaturespread at a given vel
