Significance and Use5.1 The volatile matter of petroleum coke affects the density of coke particles and can affect artifacts produced from furtherprocessing

16、of the coke.5.2 The volatile matter can be used in estimating the calorific value of coke.6. Interferences6.1 Moisture has a double effect. The mass loss is increased and the moisture free sample weight is decreased by the amountof moisture actually present in the test sample.6.2 Particle Size Effec

17、t:6.2.1 The particle size range of the analysis sample affects the volatile matter. The coarser the analysis sample, the lower thereported volatile matter will be.

Precautions8.1 Effusion of gaseous products, including soot and various hydrocarbons,

23、 and the increase of heat associated with the test canmake the use of a hood desirable.9. Furnace Calibration9.1 Avoiding segregation of particles, transfer1g(6 0.05 g) of an analysis sample (see Annex A1) to each crucible in the rack,weigh each crucible with its contents, and cover to the nearest 0

24、.1 mg. Place the cover on the crucible, and place in sample rack.9.2 Record the furnace temperature at equilibrium (9506 20C).9.3 Place the full rack of samples in the furnace, and start the timer.9.4 Monitor the furnace temperature. Record the elapsed time required to return to the equilibrium temp

25、erature recorded in 9.2.If the time exceeds 10 min, repeat the procedure, reducing the number of crucibles in the rack until temperature recovery iscompleted within 10 min of the introduction of the sample rack.9.5 When temperature recovery is achieved within the 10 min period, record the number of

26、crucibles in the rack. This numberof crucibles shall be in the rack for all future runs (fill empty spaces in the stand with empty crucibles when necessary).9.6 Round the recorded elapsed time to the next higher minute. This rounded time will be the analysis time for future runs (5min minimum).10. P

27、rocedure10.1 Ignite the quartz crucible and cover at 950 6 20C for 5 min periods to constant mass (60.5 mg). Do not cover the crucibleat this time to allow the carbon to burn off. Cool to ambient temperature in a desiccator before weighing the crucible and cover.NOTE 1Placing the empty crucibles in

28、the inverted cover when igniting will reduce breakage and chipping.10.2 Avoiding segregation of particles, transfer 1 g 610 mg of the analysis sample (see Annex A1) to the crucible, weigh thecrucible with its contents, and cover to the nearest 0.1 mg. Place the cover on the crucible, and place in sa

29、mple rack.10.3 Set the timer for the analysis time (5 to 10 min). Place the rack in the furnace. Start the timer.D6374 122NOTE 2Place the rack in the center of the furnace. Do not allow the rack to touch the walls of the furnace.10.4 After the analysis time (65 s), remove the rack from the furnace a

30、nd immediately place on a heat sink.10.5 Weigh the crucible after it has cooled to room temperature and before it has been at room temperature for longer than 20min.NOTE 3If cool down is not in a humidity controlled area, desiccation is required.11. Calculation11.1 Calculate the volatile matter of t

31、he moisture free prepared coke as follows:Volatile matter, mass % 5 A2B!/C! 3 100 (1)D6374-12_1where:A = weight of crucible and prepared sample prior to analysis, g,B = weight of crucible and prepared sample after analysis, g, andC = weight of prepared sample, g.12. Report12.1 Report to one decimal

32、the average of duplicate determinations that agree within 0.5 %. When this agreement is not met,the values are considered suspect and another duplicate set shall be run. Report the average of all results agreeing within 0.5 %.If the second set also fails to agree within 0.5 %, report the average of

33、all four values.13. Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method as determined by the statistical examination of the interlaboratory test resultsis as follows:13.2 RepeatabilityThe difference between successive results obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus underc

34、onstant operating conditions on identical test materials would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the testmethod, exceed the following values only one case in twenty.D6374-12_2where: X is the average of two results in weight percent.13.3 ReproducibilityThe difference between tw

35、o single and independent results obtained by different operators working indifferent laboratories on identical material will, in the long run, in normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed thefollowing values only in one case in twenty.D6374-12_3where: X is the average of two results in

36、 weight percent.13.4 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material for determining the bias for this test method for measuring the volatilematter in green petroleum coke, no statement on bias is being made.14. Keywords14.1 analysis time; green petroleum coke; volatile matterANNEX(Mandatory Infor

37、mation)A1. PREPARATION OF SAMPLESA1.1 Preparation of Bulk SampleA1.1.1 The bulk sample is prepared by reducing the gross sample in such a manner as to obtain a representative bulk sample.A1.1.2 The bulk sample can vary in weight from 22.7 to 90.6 kg (50 to 200 lb) and will vary in top particle size

38、from 6 to 75mm (14 to 3 in.), depending upon the particle size of the gross sample.A1.1.3 Air dry the bulk sample, if needed, so that it can be properly ground and fed through riffles. Air dry using drying pans38-mm (112-in.) deep made of noncorroding metal and of sufficient size that the sample may

39、 be spread to a depth of approximately25 mm (1.0 in.). The maximum depth of the sample shall be no more than twice the diameter of the largest particles. The roomshall be free of dust and excessive air currents. Avoid excessive drying time.A1.1.4 An air drying oven can be used to pass slightly heate

40、d air over the sample. The oven is to be capable of maintaininga temperature of 30 to 40C. Air changes should be at a rate of 1 to 4 min. Avoid over-heating and excessive drying.A1.1.5 A drying floor can be used to dry bulk samples. This is a smooth clean floor in a room free from dust and excessive

41、 aircurrent.D6374 123A1.1.6 Any modification of the above that will not overheat or contaminate the bulk sample is permitted.A1.1.7 After the bulk samples have been air dried, grind the entire sample to pass a 6.7 mm sieve, using a jaw crusher. Do notovergrind. Keep a maximum amount of sample as coa

42、rse as possible.A1.2 Preparation of Analysis SampleA1.2.1 Using a riffle, split the bulk sample to obtain a 700-g portion.A1.2.2 Pass the coke through the riffle from a feed scoop, feed bucket, or riffle pan length or opening equal to the full lengthof the riffle. When using any of the above contain

43、ers to feed the riffle, spread the coke evenly in the container, raise the container,and hold it with its front edge resting on the top of the feed trough; then slowly tilt it so that the coke flows in uniform streamsthrough the hopper straight down the chutes into the pans. Under no circumstances s

44、hovel the coke into the riffle or dribble thecoke into the riffle from a small mouth container. Make sure the riffle has a chute opening of at least 2 to 212 times greater thanthe top size particle of the coke being riffled.A1.2.3 Grind the sample to pass a 3.35-mm (No. 6) sieve using a roll crusher

45、 or other suitable crushing device that yields theresult specified in A1.2.8. Do not overgrind (see A1.2.8).A1.2.4 Using a 3.35-mm sieve (No. 6), separate the coarse particles to be crushed. This is called scalping.A1.2.5 Set the rolls gaps of the crusher far enough apart to crush only the largest p

46、articles of the sample. Turn the roll crusheron, and pour the coarse portion of the sample very slowly through the rolls. Once more scalp off the coarse particles that are tobe ground through the roll crusher again. Close the rollscrusher not more than 1.5 mm (116 in.) for each pass of the scalped s

47、ample.Repeat the crushing and scalping of the sample until all of the sample has passed through the 3.35-mm sieve. Make sure allparticles are well blended and none of the sample has been discarded.A1.2.6 Riffle the sample to obtain two 350-g portions. Do not discard any of the sample.A1.2.7 Using a

48、procedure analogous to A1.2.3, grind one of the 350-g samples in the roll crusherscrusher to pass a 0.250-mmsieve (No. 60). Do not overgrind.A1.2.8 About one half of the sample at this point shall be retained on a 0.125-mm sieve (No. 120). If this condition is not met,go back to A1.2.5, and grind th

49、e second 350-g portion. Adjust the roll crusher in smaller increments to increase the amount ofsample retained on the 0.125-mm sieve. Likewise, use large increments to decrease the amount of sample on the 0.125-mm sieve.A1.2.9 Recombine the 350-g sample, and dry it to constant weight at 95 to 105C. This dried sample is now ready for analysisand can be stored in a closed container within a dessicator. Samples shall be redried on the fourth day. Excessive heating can resultin higher volatile matter values because of oxidation of some cokes.SUMMARY OF
