1、Designation: D5228 92 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forDetermination of Butane Working Capacity of ActivatedCarbon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5228; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, t

2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the butaneworking capacity (BWC) of new granular activated car

3、bon.The BWC is defined as the difference between the butaneadsorbed at saturation and the butane retained per unit volumeof carbon after a specified purge. The test method alsoproduces a butane activity value that is defined as the totalamount of butane adsorbed on the carbon sample and isexpressed

4、as a mass of butane per unit weight or volume ofcarbon.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 thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is therespon

5、sibility 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.

Summary of Test Method4.1 An activated carbon bed of known volume and mass issaturated with butane vapor. The mass adsorbed at satur

8、ation isnoted. The carbon bed is then purged under prescribed condi-tions with dry hydrocarbon free air. The loss of mass is theBWC and is expressed as mass of butane per unit volume ofcarbon.5. Significance and Use5.1 The BWC, as determined by this test method, is ameasure of the ability of an acti

9、vated carbon to adsorb anddesorb butane from dry air under specified conditions. It isuseful for quality control and evaluation of granular activatedcarbons that are used in applications where the adsorption ofbutane and desorption with dry air are of interest. The BWCcan also provide a relative mea

10、sure of the effectiveness of thetested activated carbons on other adsorbates.5.2 The butane activity and retentivity can also be deter-mined under the conditions of the test. The butane activity is anindication of the micropore volume of the activated carbonsample. The butane retentivity is an indic

11、ation of the porestructure of the activated carbon sample.6. Apparatus6.1 Water Bath, capable of maintaining a temperature of 256 0.2C and of sufficient depth so the entire carbon bed in thesample tube is immersed in the water.A 6-mm OD copper tubewith an immersed length of 1.9 m (Fig. 1) provides a

12、dequateheat transfer for gas temperature control.6.2 Sample Tube, as shown in Fig. 2. The glass plate withholes is preferred to a fritted disk to support the carbon, sincefritted disks can vary widely in pressure drop.6.3 Flow Meters, one capable of delivering air at 0 to 500mL/min, and one capable

13、of delivering butane at 0 to 500mL/min, both calibrated in accordance with Practice D3195.6.4 Balance, capable of weighing to within 60.01 g.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D28 onActivated Carbon and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D28.04 on GasPhase Evalua

Otherwise, theratio of purge air volume to sample volume will vary, and thequantity

27、 of butane purged will also vary from one determina-tion to the next. If the specified packing density is not achievedin the first attempt, the filling procedure must be repeated untilthe tube is packed to the required density. If after severalattempts the desired packing density cannot be achieved,

28、 thepercentage should be noted and the procedure continued.11.6 Set the water bath control to maintain a temperature of25 6 0.2C.11.7 Clamp the sample tube in a vertical position in the 256 0.2C water bath and attach the tube to the output of the flowmeter.
