BS EN 14780:2011EN 14780:2011 (E) 4 Introduction Biofuels are a major source of renewable ene

17、rgy. European Standards are needed for production, trade and use of solid biofuels. For sampling and sample preparation of biofuels the following European Standards can be used: EN 14778, Solid biofuels Sampling EN 14780, Solid biofuels Sample preparation This European Standard can be used in regard

18、 to production, controlling and analysis of solid biofuels in general. BS EN 14780:2011EN 14780:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes methods for reducing combined samples (or increments) to laboratory samples and laboratory samples to sub-samples and general analysis samples and is ap

19、plicable to solid biofuels. The methods described in this European Standard may be used for sample preparation, for example, when the samples are to be tested for calorific value, moisture content, ash content, bulk density, durability, particle size distribution, ash melting behaviour, chemical com

20、position, and impurities. The methods are not intended to be applied to the very large samples required for the testing of bridging properties. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cit

29、 of the sample after pre-drying, g W is the width and is at least 2,5 times the nominal top size of the material 5 Principles of correct sample reduction The main purpose of sample preparation is that a sample is reduced to one or more test portions that are in general smaller than the original samp

30、le. The main principle for sample reduction is that the composition of the sample as taken on site shall not be changed during each stage of the sample preparation. Each sub sample shall be representative of the original sample. To reach this goal every particle in the sample before sample division

31、shall have an equal probability of being included in the sub-sample following sample division. Two basic methods are used during the sample preparation. These methods are: sample division; particle size-reduction of the sample. BS EN 14780:2011EN 14780:2011 (E) 7 CAUTION Avoid loss of moisture and f

32、ine particles during milling and other operations. Because of the risk of changes in the moisture content (loss of moisture), a sub-sample (moisture analysis sample) shall be separated at the earliest possible stage of the sample preparation procedure. As an alternative, a separate moisture analysis

33、 sample may be taken. The sample reduction shall be carried out by a procedure that does not conflict with requirements of EN 14774-1 or EN 14774-2. For materials that have to be examined for moisture content, care shall be taken to avoid any significant heat build-up and risk of drying. 6 Apparatus

34、 6.1 Apparatus for sample division 6.1.1 General Sample division is the process of reducing the mass of the sample without reducing the size of the particles. This subclause gives some suitable apparatus for this purpose. To determine the correct use of each apparatus for different purposes refer to

35、 Clause 8. 6.1.2 Riffle boxes A riffle box shall have an equal number of slots and at least 6 at each side (preferably more if possible), with adjacent slots directing material into different sub-samples, and the width of the slots shall be at least 2,5 times the nominal top size of the material to

36、be riffled (see Figure 1). Key 1 W - slot width is at least 2,5 times the nominal top size of the material Figure 1 Example of a riffle box 6.1.3 Rotary sample dividers The inner dimensions of the equipment where the sample is fed shall be at least 2,5 times as wide as the nominal top size of the ma

37、terial to be processed. The rotary sample divider shall have a feeder device adjusted, so that the number of compartments multiplied by the number of rotations shall not be less than 120 while the sample is being divided. See Figure 2 for an example of a rotating divider. BS EN 14780:2011EN 14780:20

38、11 (E) 8 Key 1 feeder 2 funnel 3 rotating receivers 4 divided sample Figure 2 Example of a rotary sample divider 6.1.4 Shovels and scoops A shovel or scoop are tools used for manual sample division. They shall have a flat bottom, with edges raised high enough to prevent particles rolling off, and be

39、 at least 2,5 times as wide as the nominal top size of the material to be processed. See Figures 3 and 4 for examples of a scoop and a shovel respectively. Key 1 W width of the scoop Figure 3 Example of a scoop BS EN 14780:2011EN 14780:2011 (E) 9 Figure 4 Example of a shovel NOTE For very large samp

40、le sizes, it is more practical to use a push dozer or bulldozer or any other heavy machinery that has a large “scoop“ with raised edges. 6.2 Apparatus for particle size-reduction CAUTION When analysing metals, take care that there is no contamination from the sample preparation or reduction equipmen

41、t. 6.2.1 Coarse cutting mill or wood crusher Coarse cutting mills are used for cutting materials into lengths of about 10 mm to 30 mm (depending on the biofuel and the analyses to be performed). Drying of the material during coarse cutting should be avoided, by limiting heat production and air flow

42、through the material. The equipment shall be designed so that it does not lose dust or contaminate the material with pieces of metal, and shall be easy to clean. NOTE To prevent losses of moisture during particle size reduction a grinder with as low a grinding speed as possible is preferred. 6.2.2 C

43、utting mill Cutting mills are used for reducing the nominal top size of materials used as biofuels from about 10 mm to 30 mm down to about 1 mm or less (depending on the biofuel and the analyses to be performed). The mill shall be provided with screens of various aperture sizes covering this range,

44、including an appropriate sieve to control the nominal top size of the material produced. Other apparatus may be used provided that they are designed so that they do not get blocked with the material that is being processed. Avoid the use of cutting mills whose cutting faces contain significant quant

45、ities of an element that is to be determined in the analysis. NOTE Cross beater mills can be used without any excessive dusting, when fitted with dust filters (like a filter sock) between the mill and the receiving container. They are suitable for final grinding of hard, wood type materials after th

46、e pre-grinding with cutting type mills. BS EN 14780:2011EN 14780:2011 (E) 10 6.2.3 Axe An axe is used for cutting wood logs or coarse material down to maximum 30 mm thickness or suitable size to be processed in a cutting mill provided with a 30 mm sieve. 6.2.4 Hand saw A hand saw is used to saw off

47、wood logs or coarse material down to maximum 30 mm thickness or suitable size to be processed in a cutting mill provided with a 30 mm sieve. NOTE A chain saw may contaminate the sample by chain oil and should therefore not be used. A saw machine should not be used for size reduction to avoid the ris

48、k of losing moisture in the sample as a result of heat caused by friction. 6.3 Sieves A wire-mesh sieve with an aperture size of 1,00 mm is required to check the nominal top size of general analysis samples. A wire-mesh sieve with an aperture size of 0,25 mm will be required if sub-samples with this

49、 nominal top size are required. 6.4 Balance A balance is required that is capable of determining the mass of samples to an accuracy of 0,1 % of the sample mass, and the mass of sub-samples to an accuracy of 0,1 % of the sub-sample mass. 7 Sample reduction general principles For every sample division stage to be carried out it is important that a sufficient mass of material is retained, otherwise the sub-samples produced or the test portions to be taken may not be representative of the
