Summary of Test

10、 Method4.1 A screened and weighed sample of the carbon is placedin a special hardness pan with a number of stainless steel balls,then subjected to a combined rotating and tapping action for 30min. At the end of this period, the amount of particle sizedegradation is determined by measuring the quanti

11、ty of carbon,by weight, which is retained on a sieve whose openings areclosest to one half the openings of the sieve that defines theminimum nominal particle size of the original sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 Several methods have been employed in the past fordetermining the resistance of activat

12、ed carbons to particle sizedegradation under service conditions, including the ball-panmethod, the stirring bar method, and the dust elutriationmethod. None of these has proved completely satisfactory forall applications, and all have been questioned by ASTMCommittee D28 on Activated Carbon as tests

13、 for establishingdegradation resistance. However, the ball-pan method has beenused widely in the past and has a broad history in the activatedcarbon industry for measuring the property loosely describedas “hardness.” In this context the test is useful in establishinga measurable characteristic of a

14、carbon. Conceding the fact thatthe test does not actually measure in-service resistance todegradation, it can be used to establish the comparability oflots ostensibly of the same grade of carbon.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D28 onActivated Carbon and is the direct re

Calculation10.1 Calculate the ball-pan hardness number from the equa-tionH 5 100 B/A (1)where:H = ball-pan hardness number,B = weight of sample retained on hardness test sieve (see9.10), g, andA = weight of sample loaded onto hardness pan (see 9.4), g.10.2 As a check on the accuracy of the

35、 test, calculateball-pan hardness from the pan catch as follows:H25 100 1 2 C/A! (2)where:C = pan catch from 9.11,g.If H2differs from H by more than 2 %, one may assume thatsignificant amounts of carbon are not accounted for, and therun must be rejected.11.

37、7 Lot number from which the sample was taken.12. Precision and Bias12.1 Error analysis indicates a precision for the method of6 1 % for like samples with hardness numbers near 100, whichis typical. The adhesion of material to sieves, brushes, etc.,makes it unlikely that the hardness number calculate

38、d in 10.1will be overestimated; however, humidity effects can increaseor decrease the value of H. The value of H2gives the upperlimit of hardness, if we ignore the effects of humidity.Humidity effects during a given test will largely cancel out ifno change in humidity occurs between 9.4 and 9.11.12.

39、2 It is difficult to evaluate the precision of the methodbecause the variation in hardness within a relatively smallbatch of activated carbon is substantial. One supplier tested 31samples of a single grade of carbon and obtained an averagehardness of 95.7, with a standard deviation of 1.3 (6 1.4 %).
