Hazards6.1 Due to the origins of RDF in municipal waste, common sense dictates that precautions should be observed when conductingtests on the samples. Recommended hygienicsafety practices include use of suitable

18、gloves when handling RDF; wearing dustmasks (NIOSH-approved type), especially while milling RDF samples; conducting tests under negative pressure hoods whenpossible; and washing hands upon completion of activity and before eating or smoking.7. Sampling7.1 Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF):NOTE 1ASTM Subcomm

19、ittee E38.01 is currently in the process of developing procedures for sampling RDF.7.1.1 RDF products are frequently nonhomogeneous. For this reason, significant care should be exercised to obtain arepresentative laboratory sample from the RDF lot to be characterized.7.1.2 The sampling method for th

20、ese procedures should be based on agreement between involved parties.7.1.3 The laboratory sample must be air-dried and particle size reduced to pass a 0.5-mm screen for analysis. This proceduremust be performed carefully to preserve the samples representative characteristics (other than particle siz

21、e) while preparing theanalysis sample to be used in this procedure (see Practice E829).7.2 Refuse-Derived Fuel Ash, Fly Ash, Bottom Ash, or SlagThe method of sampling for this procedure should be based onagreement between involved parties.8. Sample Preparation8.1 Refuse-Derived Fuel:8.1.1 Weigh accu

22、rately 30 to 50 g of RDF analysis sample as prepared in 6.1 into a conditioned and preweighed fused quartzdish.8.1.2 Spread out the analysis sample of RDF in a layer not over 38.1 mm (112 in.) in depth.8.1.3 Place the dish in the muffle at a low temperature (not greater than 100C) and gradually heat

23、 to redness at such a rate asto avoid mechanical loss from too rapid expulsion of volatile matter.8.1.4 Complete the conversion to ash at a temperature of 800 to 900C (1470 to 1650F).8.1.5 Cool in a desiccator and stir the ash to ensure homogeneity of particle sizes. Be careful not to lose any ash f

24、rom the dishduring this stirring.8.1.6 Spread the ash in a thin layer in the dish, and ignite in a 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.

25、9 Calculate the percent ash as follows:%Ash5C 2A!/B 2A! 3100 (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, o

26、r slag by grinding the sample in an agate mortar to a particle size to pass aNo. 200 (75-m) sieve.8.2.2 Weigh accurately 6 to 10 g of RDF ash, fly ash, bottom ash, 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 be analyz

28、rature of 800 to 900C (1470 to 1659F).8.2.6 Cool in a desiccator and stir the ash to ensure homogeneity of particle sizes. Be careful not to lose any ash from the dishduring this stirring.8.2.7 Spread the ash in a thin layer in the dish and ignite in a stream of oxygen for 112 h at 800 to 850C (1470

29、 to 1560F)to ensure complete and uniform oxidation 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 follows:%Residue after ignition5F 2D!/E 2D! 3100 (2)where:D = weight of fused quartz dish, g,E

30、= weight of fused quartz dish and sample, of RDF ash, fly ash, bottom ash or slag, g, andF = weight of fused quartz dish and residue after ignition of RDF 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 prepared RDF ash as prepared in

31、 8.1 or the residue of RDF ash, fly ash, bottomash, or slag as prepared in 8.2 into a platinum or graphite crucible.9.1.2 Add 1.0 g of Na2CO3. Mix the ash and Na2CO3 well, then add an additional 0.5 g of Na2CO3 to cover the mixture.9.1.3 Place the crucible into a clean silica or refractory tray, and

32、 place in a muffle furnace preheated to 1000C and maintainuntil 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 its side in a 300-mL casserole or beaker about one-third full of water.Warm and stir until the cake d

33、isintegrates and can be easily removed.9.1.6 By means of platinum tipped tongs, lift the crucible out of the liquid, rinsing it thoroughly with water followed by rinsingwith dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl, 1 + 3); adding the rinse to the casserole or beaker.9.2 Acid Dehydration:9.2.1 Very slowly and

34、cautiously add 20 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl, sp gr 1.19) to the covered casserole orbeaker (see Note 2). Remove the cover and rinse. If any gritty particles are present, the fusion is incomplete and must be repeated,using a new sample and a larger amount of Na2CO3.NOTE 2This solution

35、 will tend to “creep” over the rim of the casserole unless the rim is kept hot and dry. This can be accomplished by applying heatfrom 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 5 to 10 mL of HC

36、l (concentrated), wait at least 2 min, then add anequal amount of water.9.2.4 Cover the casserole or beaker, and digest for 10 min on 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

37、 thoroughly with hot HCl (1 + 99), then with hot water.9.2.6 Reserve the residue.9.2.7 Again, evaporate the filtrate to dryness and bake the residue in an oven for 1 h at 105 to 110C.9.2.8 Cool, add 10 to 15 mL HCl (1 + 1) and digest on the steam bath or hot plate for 10 min.9.2.9 Dilute with an equ

38、al volume of water, filter immediately on a fresh filter paper, and wash the small amount of residuethoroughly with hot HCl (1 + 99), then with hot water.9.2.10 Transfer the papers containing the residues (from 9.2.6 and 9.2.9) to a weighed conditioned platinum crucible.9.2.11 Dry and ignite the pap

39、ers, first at a low heat until the carbon of the filter paper is completely consumed without flaming,and finally ignite at 1100 to 1200C until the weight becomes constant. Record weight of residue after ignition.9.3 Volatilization of Silicon Tetrafluoride:9.3.1 Treat the silica (SiO2) thus obtained,

40、 which will con-containtain impurities, in the crucible with 0.5 to 1 mL of water, 2 drops of H2SO4 (1 + 1) and 10 mL of HF.9.3.2 Cautiously evaporate to dryness on a hot plate or hot sand 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 desicca
