26、earance The product is a black powder. 5.2 Particle size distribution 5.2.1 Particle size At least a mass fraction of 95 % shall have a particle size less than 150 m. NOTE Other values can be necessary for certain applications. The particle size distribution is commonly specified as a mass fraction

27、of 95 % less than a given particle size. The particle size distribution shall be within the manufacturers declared values. 5.2.2 Oversize and undersize particles The proportion of oversize and undersize particles shall be within the manufacturers declared values. 5.3 Bulk density packed The bulk den

28、sity packed shall be within 10 % of the value specified by the manufacturer or supplier. NOTE The bulk density packed of powdered activated carbon is typically in the range 200 kg/m3to 750 kg/m3. 6 Chemical properties 6.1 General Powdered activated carbon is manufactured by controlled oxidation, by

29、means of steam or chemicals, from carbonaceous raw materials including coconut, wood, peat or coal. The raw materials shall be stated by the manufacturer. High internal porosity results in adsorptive properties and, depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process, it can have acid or bas

30、ic properties. It is a reducing agent with catalytic properties. Activated carbon can react with oxidants to form carbon dioxide. The carbon content of the commercial product does not affect adsorption characteristics. 6.2 Purity criteria 6.2.1 General This European Standard specifies the minimum pu

31、rity requirements for powdered activated carbon used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process, other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be noti

32、fied to the user and, when necessary, to the relevant authorities. BS EN 12903:2009EN 12903:2009 (E) 7 NOTE Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account r

33、aw water quality, contents of other impurities and additives used in the products not stated in the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If

34、 the production process or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 6.2.2 Impurities and main by-products The product shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 1.
