1、Designation: D5228 92 (Reapproved 2015)D5228 16Standard 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 rev

2、ision, the 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 butane working capacity (BWC) of new granular acti

3、vated carbon. TheBWC is defined as the difference between the butane adsorbed at saturation and the butane retained per unit volume of carbon aftera specified purge. The test method also produces a butane activity value that is defined as the total amount of butane adsorbed onthe carbon sample and i

4、s expressed as a mass of butane per unit weight or volume of carbon.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

5、 It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.

Summary of Test Method4.1 An activated carbon bed of known volume and mass is saturated with butane vapor. The mas

8、s adsorbed at saturation isnoted. The carbon bed is then purged under prescribed conditions with dry hydrocarbon free air. The loss of mass is the BWC andis expressed as mass of butane per unit volume of carbon.5. Significance and Use5.1 The BWC, as determined by this test method, is a measure of th

9、e ability of an activated carbon to adsorb and desorb butanefrom dry air under specified conditions. It is useful for quality control and evaluation of granular activated carbons that are usedin applications where the adsorption of butane and desorption with dry air are of interest. The BWC can also

10、 provide a relativemeasure of the effectiveness of the tested activated carbons on other adsorbates.5.2 The butane activity and retentivity can also be determined under the conditions of the test. The butane activity is anindication of the micropore volume of the activated carbon sample. The butane

11、retentivity is an indication of the pore structureof the activated carbon sample.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D28 on Activated Carbon and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D28.04 on Gas PhaseEvaluation Tests.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2015June 1, 20

Apparatus6.1 Water Bath, capable of maintaining a temperature of 25 6 0.2C and of sufficient depth so the entire carbon bed in thesample tube is immersed in the water. A 6-mm OD copper tube with an immersed length of 1.9 m (Fig.

16、1) provides adequate heattransfer for gas temperature control.6.2 Sample Tube, as shown in Fig. 2. The glass plate with holes is preferred to a fritted disk to support the carbon, since fritteddisks can vary widely in pressure drop.6.3 Flow Meters, one capable of delivering air at 0 to 500 mL/min, a

17、nd one capable of delivering butane at 0 to 500 mL/min,both calibrated in accordance with Practice D3195.6.4 Balance, capable of weighing to within 60.01 g.6.5 Fill DeviceThe vibration feed device used in Test Method D2854, Figs. 1 through 4, is preferred.6.6 Buret, Class A, 25 mL capacity.6.7 Appar

Butane may be narcotic in high concentrations and is considered a simple asphyxiant.If the entir

Air bubbles have a tendency to form directlybelow the retainer plate of the tube.9.3 Clamp the filled sample tube in an upright position to a ring stand and stopper the narrow side stem.FIG. 1 Butane Working Capacity Apparatus SchematicD5228 1629.4 Using a

22、 pipet, carefully remove the water from the sample tube to the top of the retainer plate.

Otherwise, the ratio of purge air volume to sample volume will vary, and the quantityof butane purged will also vary from

27、one determination to the next. If the specified packing density is not achieved in the firstattempt, the filling procedure must be repeated until the tube is packed to the required density. If after several attempts the desiredpacking density cannot be achieved, the percentage should be noted and th
