Sampling7.1 Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF):NOTE 1ASTM Subcommittee E38.01 is currently in t

17、he process ofdeveloping procedures for sampling RDF.7.1.1 RDF products are frequently nonhomogeneous. Forthis reason, significant care should be exercised to obtain arepresentative laboratory sample from the RDF lot to becharacterized.7.1.2 The sampling method for these procedures should bebased on

18、agreement between involved parties.7.1.3 The laboratory sample must be air-dried and particlesize reduced to pass a 0.5-mm screen for analysis. Thisprocedure must be performed carefully to preserve the sam-ples representative characteristics (other than particle size)while preparing the analysis sam

19、ple to be used in this proce-dure (see Practice E 829).7.2 Refuse-Derived Fuel Ash, Fly Ash, Bottom Ash, orSlagThe method of sampling for this procedure should bebased on agreement between involved parties.8. Sample Preparation8.1 Refuse-Derived Fuel:8.1.1 Weigh accurately 30 to 50 g of RDF analysis

20、 sampleas prepared in 6.1 into a conditioned and preweighed fusedquartz dish.8.1.2 Spread out the analysis sample of RDF in a layer notover 38.1 mm (112 in.) in depth.8.1.3 Place the dish in the muffle at a low temperature (notgreater than 100C) and gradually heat to redness at such a rateas to avoi

21、d mechanical loss from too rapid expulsion of volatilematter.8.1.4 Complete the conversion to ash at a temperature of800 to 900C (1470 to 1650F).8.1.5 Cool in a desiccator and stir the ash to ensurehomogeneity of particle sizes. Be careful not to lose any ashfrom the dish during this stirring.8.1.6

22、Spread the ash in a thin layer in the dish, and ignite ina stream of oxygen for 112 h at 800 to 850C (1470 to 1560F)to ensure complete and uniform oxidation of the ash.8.1.7 Cool the ash to room temperature in a desiccator.8.1.8 Weigh the dish and the ash.8.1.9 Calculate the percent ash as follows:%

23、 Ash 5 C 2 A!/B 2 A! 3 100 (1)where:A = weight of fused quartz, g,B = weight of fused quartz dish and sample, g, andC = weight of fused quartz dish and ash, g.8.2 Refuse-Derived Fuel Ash, Fly Ash, Bottom Ash, or Slag:8.2.1 Prepare the RDF ash, fly ash, bottom ash, or slag bygrinding the sample in an

24、 agate mortar to a particle size to passa No. 200 (75-m) sieve.8.2.2 Weigh accurately 6 to 10 g of RDF ash, fly ash, bottomash, or slag as prepared in 8.2.1 into a conditioned preweighedfused quartz dish.8.2.3 Spread out the analysis sample of the ash to beanalyzed in a layer not over 6.4 mm (14 in.

25、) in depth.8.2.4 Place the dish in the muffle at a low temperature (notgreater than 100C), and gradually heat to redness at such arate as to avoid mechanical loss from too rapid expulsion ofvolatile matter.8.2.5 Complete the conversion to ash at a temperature of800 to 900C (1470 to 1659F).8.2.6 Cool

26、 in a desiccator and stir the ash to ensurehomogeneity of particle sizes. Be careful not to lose any ashfrom the dish during this stirring.8.2.7 Spread the ash in a thin layer in the dish and ignite ina stream of oxygen for 112 h at 800 to 850C (1470 to 1560F)to ensure complete and uniform oxidation

27、 of the ash.8.2.8 Cool the ash to room temperature in a desiccator.8.2.9 Weigh the dish and the ash.8.2.10 Calculate the percent residue after ignition as fol-lows:% Residue after ignition 5 F 2 D!/E 2 D! 3 100 (2)where:D = weight of fused quartz dish, g,E = weight of fused quartz dish and sample, o

28、f RDF ash,fly ash, bottom ash or slag, g, andF = weight of fused quartz dish and residue after ignition ofRDF ash, fly ash, bottom ash, or slag, g.9. Procedure9.1 Sample Fusion:9.1.1 Weigh accurately 0.010 to 0.100 g of the preparedRDF ash as prepared in 8.1 or the residue of RDF ash, fly ash,bottom

29、 ash, or slag as prepared in 8.2 into a platinum orgraphite crucible.9.1.2 Add 1.0 g of Na2CO3. Mix the ash and Na2CO3well,then add an additional 0.5 g of Na2CO3to cover the mixture.9.1.3 Place the crucible into a clean silica or refractory tray,and place in a muffle furnace preheated to 1000C and m

30、aintainuntil the mass is quiescent (about 45 min).9.1.4 Set the crucible aside to cool.9.1.5 Rinse off the outside of the crucible, and place it on itsside in a 300-mL casserole or beaker about one-third full ofwater. Warm and stir until the cake disintegrates and can beeasily removed.9.1.6 By means

31、 of platinum tipped tongs, lift the crucibleout of the liquid, rinsing it thoroughly with water followed byrinsing with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl, 1 + 3); adding therinse to the casserole or beaker.9.2 Acid Dehydration:9.2.1 Very slowly and cautiously add 20 mL of concentratedhydrochloric acid (

32、HCl, sp gr 1.19) to the covered casserole orbeaker (see Note 2). Remove the cover and rinse. If any grittyparticles are present, the fusion is incomplete and must berepeated, using a new sample and a larger amount of Na2CO3.NOTE 2This solution will tend to “creep” over the rim of the casseroleunless

33、 the rim is kept hot and dry. This can be accomplished by applyingheat from above by means of infrared lamps.9.2.2 Evaporate the solution to dryness on a steam bath.9.2.3 Without heating the residue any further, treat it with 5to 10 mL of HCl (concentrated), wait at least 2 min, then addan equal amo

34、unt of water.E 887 88 (2009)29.2.4 Cover the casserole or beaker, and digest for 10 minon the steam bath or hot plate.9.2.5 Dilute the solution with an equal volume of hot water,immediately filter through medium-textured ashless paper, andwash the residue thoroughly with hot HCl (1 + 99), then withh

35、ot water.9.2.6 Reserve the residue.9.2.7 Again, evaporate the filtrate to dryness and bake theresidue in an oven for1hat105to110C.9.2.8 Cool, add 10 to 15 mL HCl (1 + 1) and digest on thesteam bath or hot plate for 10 min.9.2.9 Dilute with an equal volume of water, filter immedi-ately on a fresh fil

36、ter paper, and wash the small amount ofresidue thoroughly with hot HCl (1 + 99), then with hot water.9.2.10 Transfer the papers containing the residues (from9.2.6 and 9.2.9) to a weighed conditioned platinum crucible.9.2.11 Dry and ignite the papers, first at a low heat until thecarbon of the filter

37、 paper is completely consumed withoutflaming, and finally ignite at 1100 to 1200C until the weightbecomes constant. Record weight of residue after ignition.9.3 Volatilization of Silicon Tetrafluoride:9.3.1 Treat the silica (SiO2) thus obtained, which will con-tain impurities, in the crucible with 0.

38、5 to 1 mL of water, 2drops of H2SO4(1 + 1) and 10 mL of HF.9.3.2 Cautiously evaporate to dryness on a hot plate or hotsand bath.9.3.3 Finally, ignite the small residue at 1050 to 1100C(1922 to 2012F) for 5 min.9.3.4 Cool in a desiccator and weigh.9.3.5 The difference between this weight and the weig

39、htpreviously obtained in 9.2.11 represents the amount of SiO2.9.4 BlankMake a blank determination, following thesame procedures as used in 9.1.2 through 9.3.5 using the sameamounts of reagents and correct the obtained in the analysisaccordingly.10.
