Whereappropriate, the tester may modify a test portion beforeleaching to simulate the results of biological or chemicalactivity in the field. Record the storage conditions, samplingprocedures, handling practices

36、, and any abnormal samplingconditions in the report.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 The assembled apparatus is shown in Fig. 1.9.2 Column Preparation:9.2.1 Before use, clean all parts of the test apparatus thatwill contact the waste material, leaching fluid, or productleachate.9.2.1.1 Clean the sinte

37、red disks by boiling them for 15 minin reagent water, followed by a backflush with reagent water.Then saturate the disks with concentrated sulfuric acid andsoak until all residues are removed. Then vacuum or pressureremove the excess acid with reagent water. Next, pump or draweither acetone or metha

Rinse with tap water andfollow with a reagent water rinse. Then rinse it with eitheracetone or methanol, followed

39、by a rinse with either hexane ormethylene chloride. Permit the apparatus to air dry.9.3 Assemble the apparatus as depicted in Figs. 1 and 2.Weigh the dried, clean empty column, including end caps andother fittings necessary to contain the waste, and record themass. This is the tare of the apparatus.

Procedure10.1 Preconditioning:10.1.1 Prepare a test portion of waste in a manner thatsimulates the state the waste is in or will be in as it undergoes

43、leaching in the field. Preparation of the test portion mayinclude such factors as curing, and adjustment of moisturecontent and density. For such adjustments, the followingprocedures can be used where appropriate.10.1.2 Moisture Content Adjust the moisture content tothat defined in the disposal scen

44、ario by dewatering or addingreagent water to the material. Increase moisture content to thatdefined in the disposal scenario by addition of reagent water.Note and record the volume of reagent water added. If theconcentration of any trace analyte of concern found in thereagent water exceeds the repor

45、ting (quantitation) limit for thevolume added, note this on the report form. Decrease moisturecontent by determining scenario temperature (normally lessthan 60C) and drying the material at the temperature for aspecified time interval. Determine actual moisture content ofthe waste as it is placed in

46、the column using Test MethodD 2216 and an appropriate drying temperature. Note andrecord the drying temperature used. Record the moisturecontent.10.1.3 DensityDensity is to be adjusted by vibration (seeTest Method D 4253) or compaction (see Test Method D 698)to the anticipated field density. Pack th

47、e waste material in thecolumn so that uniform density is achieved. This can bechecked by visual observation of the waste in the transparentcolumn.10.1.4 CuringAging may be necessary for those materialsthat undergo physical or chemical changes with time in order toobtain a specimen (test portion) rep

48、resentative of the desiredconditions. Curing may be accomplished in the field beforetesting in the column to produce a physical and chemical staterepresentative of the waste as it undergoes leaching in the field.Note and record field conditions of temperature, humidity, andatmospheric pressure. Reco

49、rd the duration of the curing pro-cess and report with the test data.10.1.5 Particle Size Ensure that the particle size distribu-tion of the waste as placed in the column is representative ofthat expected in field placement. Interpretation of results isbased in part on a knowledge of the particle size distributionand surface area of the material. Maximum particle diametermust not exceed110 of the inside diameter of the column.Particle size reduction is not recommended. An evaluation ofthe particle characteristics of size distribution and surface areamay be usefu
