Summary of Test Method4.1 The dispersant is pre-mixed with oil and placed on waterin a test vessel. The test vessel is agitated on a moving tableshaker.

12、At the end of the shaking period, a settling period isspecified and then a sample of water taken. The oil in the watercolumn is extracted from the water using a dichloromethanesolvent and analyzed using gas chromatography.4.2 The extract is analyzed for oil using a gas chromato-graph equipped with a

13、 flame ionization detector (GC-FID).Quantification is by means of the internal standard method.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F20 onHazardous Substances and Oil Spill Response and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee F20.13 on Treatment.Current edition approved

United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World

17、Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1Effectiveness values are derived by comparison with a cali-brated set of effectiveness values obtained at the same time andby the same method.5. Significance and Use5.1 A standard test is necessary to establish a baselineperformance par

18、ameter so that dispersants can be compared, agiven dispersant can be compared for effectiveness on differentoils, and at different oil weathering stages, and batches ofdispersant or oils can be checked for effectiveness changeswith time or other factors. This test method provides a secondtest at hig

19、her mixing energy in addition to the Swirling Flask(Test Method F2059).5.2 Dispersant effectiveness varies with oil type, sea energy,oil conditions, salinity, and many other factors. Test resultsfrom this test method form a baseline at high mixing energy,but are not to be taken as the absolute measu

20、re of performanceat sea. Actual field effectiveness could be more or less than thisvalue.5.3 Many dispersant tests have been developed around theworld. This test has been developed in recent years andprovides higher mixing energies compared to other laboratoryscale tests.6. Interferences and Sources

21、 of Error6.1 Interferences can be caused by contaminants, particu-larly residual oil or surfactants in solvents, on glassware, andother sample processing apparatus that lead to discrete artifactsor elevated baselines in gas chromatograms. All glasswaremust be thoroughly cleaned. The cleaning process

22、 includesrinsing with dichloromethane to remove the oil, followed byrinsing three times each with tap water, purified water (reverseosmosis or similar), and acetone. Once cleaned, precautionsmust be taken to minimize contact of the glassware withsurfactants to prevent undesired interferences.6.2 Dis

23、persant effectiveness is very susceptible to energylevels. Table top shakers generally start and stop slowly.Shakers that start motion rapidly and stop suddenly impart ahigh energy to the system and thus cause more dispersion thanwould be the case with a normal shaker. Furthermore, thisvariation wou

24、ld not be repeatable. The shaker table usedshould be observed for rapid movements or stops to ensure thatit is usable for these tests. The rotational speed of the shakershould be checked with a tachometer every week before use.6.3 The flasks used in this test are tapered and the energylevel varies w

25、ith the amount of fill and variation in dimensions.6.4 The output is highly sensitive to the volume of oil,water, and extractant. All pipets and dispensers should becalibrated frequently and verified daily when in use.6.5 The use of positive displacement pipets is mandatory forall controlled volumes

26、 of microlitre quantities. Use of volumedisplacement pipets will result in erroneous results due to theviscosity of the dispersants and oils, the variable viscosity ofthe oils to be tested (some semi-solid), and the density ofdichloromethane.6.6 The order of addition of the dispersant and oil haseff

27、ects on the accuracy of results, as the dispersant may interactwith the vessel walls if added first, thereby reducing thequantity available in the premix. It is therefore important to addoil to the vessel first, and add the dispersant directly to the oil.Asecond addition of oil is suggested simply b

28、ecause it is easierto control a large volume of oil than a minute volume ofdispersant when attempting to achieve a specific ratio of 25:1.6.7 Following dispersant addition, vigorous mixing is re-quired to homogenize the sample. Sharp, manual strokes aresuggested for light oils, while very heavy oils

29、 may requirestirring with a clean glass rod or spatula.6.8 There are indications that mixing will vary with timefollowing preparation of the premixed dispersant/oil combina-tions. As a precaution it is highly recommended that the testingshould be completed as soon as practical following preparationo

30、f the premix, and not stored for use at a later time.6.9 Since the performance of the dispersant is affected bysalinity, the salt water should be thoroughly mixed, stored inairtight containers, and checked with a salinity meter prior touse.6.10 Temperature is a factor in dispersion, so it is importa

31、ntthat all components (salt water, pre-mix, and temperature-controlled chamber) are stable at 20C (or the chosen operatingtemperature) before starting.6.11 Care should be taken when applying the oil to thesurface so that mixing does not occur. The oil should gentlyglide across the water to form a sl

32、ick. If the oil streams out intothe water, the agitation can disperse the oil, increasing theamount of oil dispersed and erroneously raising the finaldispersion result.6.12 Dispersion effectiveness generally declines with in-creased evaporation of oil components. Care should be taken toavoid unneces

33、sary exposure of the oil and dispersant/oilpremix before and during the test procedure to protect sampleintegrity and minimize variability related to oil weathering.Special care should be taken to minimize the time to apply thedispersant-oil premix to all six vessels in a test run.6.13 The procedure

34、 is time critical for the elements ofmixing, settling, and sampling. Care should be taken to adhereto the times indicated in the procedure for both the mixing andsettling element, as variations in energy input, and especiallytime allowed for droplet rise, can impact results. Since thewater samples c

35、annot be sampled simultaneously, this stepmust be performed as quickly as possible, to reduce thedifference in settling times experienced by the samples in thetest run.6.14 Analysis of the gas chromatograph-detectable TotalPetroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) content is subject to variabilityin GC operation

36、and repeatability (Test Method F2059:EPA8270D). Therefore, it is imperative that a rigorous qualityassurance program is in place to ensure the GC is functioningproperly and valid results are obtained.6.15 Care should be taken to determine the baseline in avalid and repeatable manner for both samples

37、 and calibrationsets.F3251 1726.16 The accuracy and repeatability of the test can beverified and compared using standard oil and dispersantsamples.7. Apparatus7.1 Modified Baffled Trypsinizing Flask, used as the testvessel. A side spout is added to a trypsinizing flask to enablesampling from the wat

When not in use, all samples should be stored in arefrigerator at approximately 5C.9.2 Dispersant Sample Storage and PreparationWhen notin use, samples should be stored in a refrigerator at 5C inopaque or amber containers. Prior to use, the sample isequilibrated to the temperature of the tes
