1、Designation: E 791 90 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forCalculating Refuse-Derived Fuel Analysis Data from As-Determined to Different Bases1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 791; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in

2、 the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method gives equations to enable analyticaldata from the application of

3、RDF analyses procedures to beexpressed on various different bases in common use. Suchbases are: as-received; dry; dry, ash-free; and others (see2.1.12).1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of thi

4、s standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.1.1 ashinorganic residue remaining after ignition ofcombustible substances, determined by defini

5、te prescribedmethods. Ash may not be identical, in composition or quantity,with the inorganic substances present in the material beforeignition.2.1.2 as-determined basisexperimental data obtainedfrom the analysis sample of RDF. These data represent thenumerical values obtained for a particular moist

6、ure or ashcontent, or both, in the sample at the time of measurement.2.1.3 air dryinga process of partial drying of RDF tobring its moisture content near to equilibrium with the atmo-sphere in which further reduction, division, and characteriza-tion of the sample are to take place. In order to bring

7、 about thisequilibrium, the RDF is usually subjected to drying undercontrolled temperature conditions ranging from 30 to 40C.2.1.4 air dry lossthe decrease in mass presumed to bemoisture of a sample due to air drying.2.1.5 as-received basisexperimental data calculated to themoisture condition of the

8、 sample as it arrived in the laboratoryand before any laboratory processing or conditioning. The totalmoisture value that is calculated from the air dry loss andresidual moisture value is used to convert data from the drybasis to the as-received basis (see dry ash-free basis).2.1.6 dry ash-free basi

9、sthe experimental data calculatedto a theoretical base of no moisture or ash associated with thesample. Numerical values (air-dry loss, residual moisturevalues, and ash content) are used for converting the as-determined data to a moisture and ash-free basis.2.1.7 dry basisthe experimental data calcu

10、lated to atheoretical base of no moisture associated with the sample. Thenumerical value (residual moisture value) is used for convert-ing the as-determined data to a dry basis.2.1.8 fixed carbonthe ash-free carbonous material thatremains after volatile matter is driven off during the proximateanaly

11、sis of a dry sample.2.1.9 gross calorific value (gross heat of combustion atconstant volume) Qv(gross)the heat produced by combus-tion of a unit quantity of solid fuel, at constant volume, in anoxygen bomb calorimeter under specified conditions such thatall water in the products remains in liquid fo

12、rm.NOTE 1The conditions are: initial oxygen pressure of 20 to 40 atm (2to 4 MPa), initial and final temperatures between 68 and 95F (20 and35C).NOTE 2The gross calorific value is closely related to the internalenergy of combustion for the same reaction at constant standard tempera-ture and pressure

13、(Dy comb.). It is of opposite sign and differs by a smallamount due to energy effects resulting from compression, temperaturedifferences, and solution effects that vary with combustion conditions.Because of the variation of conditions allowed in Note 1, the definition ofgross calorific value does no

14、t lead to a unique value for any given fuel.However, the specified conditions limit the possible value to a narrowrange for which approximate limits can be calculated for a given fuel.2.1.10 higher heating valuesynonym for gross calorificvalue.2.1.11 proximate analysisthe determination, by pre-scrib

15、ed methods, of moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon (bydifference), and ash. Unless otherwise specified, the termproximate analysis does not include determinations of chemi-cal elements or any determinations other than those named.2.1.12 refuse-derived fuelssolid forms of refuse-derivedfuels from
