1、Designation: D5742 95 (Reapproved 2015)D5742 16Standard Test Method forDetermination of Butane Activity of Activated Carbon1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5742; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、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 determination of the activation level of activated carbon. Butane activity (BA) is

3、 defined herein asthe ratio (in percent) of the mass of butane adsorbed by an activated carbon sample to the mass of the sample, when the carbonis saturated with butane under the conditions listed in this test method.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of

4、 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. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulator

Summary of Test Method4.1 An activated carbon bed of known volume and mass is saturated with butane vapor. The mass adsorbed at saturation is notedand reported as mass of butane per unit mass o

8、f carbon.5. Significance and Use5.1 The butane activity as determined by this test method is a measure of the ability of an activated carbon to adsorb butanefrom dry air under specified conditions. It is useful for the quality control and evaluation of granular activated carbons. The butaneactivity

9、is an indication of the micropore volume of the activated carbon sample. This activity number does not necessarily providean absolute or relative measure of the effectiveness of the tested carbon for other adsorbates or at other conditions of operation.5.2 The butane activity test can be used as a n

10、on-ozone depleting substitute for the carbon tetrachloride activity test in TestMethod D3467. Fig. 1 shows an experimental correlation of activity values obtained using the two adsorbates.NOTE 1This test has not been designed for use with powdered activated carbon, but it has been used successfully

11、when the flow rate or time areadjusted or the sample volume is decreased to keep the pressure drop at an acceptable value.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.Curren
