Summary of Test Method3.1 An activated carbon sample is boiled in reagent waterusing a reflux condenser to recycle water vapor. The particlesof carbon are filtered out, the filtrate cooled to 50C and the pHof the filtr

Significance and Use4.1 When a fluid containing an adsorbate is passed througha bed of activated carbon, chemical reactions may take placebetween the activated carbon, its other noncarbonaceous con-stituents, and the adsorbate containing fluid. The pH of

The standard deviations also appear in agreementwith other work, in that they are higher for neutral conditions(near pH 7) than for stron

Astandard deviation of 0.6 for pH values near 7 and 0.3 forvalues at the ends of the pH scale appears readily achievable bythis test method.FIG. 1 Boiler-Reflux Condenser ApparatusD3838 05 (2011)2ASTM Interna
