It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absol

22、E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the loss on ignition (LOI) of dry matter at 550 C. The dry matter is determined according to EN 15934. This method applies to the determination of loss on ignition of sludge, treated biowaste, soil and waste. The LOI of

23、sediments can also be determined with this method. NOTE The loss on ignition is often used as an estimate for the content of organic matter in the sample. Inorganic substances or decomposition products (e.g. H2O, CO2, SO2,O2) are released or absorbed and some inorganic substances are volatile under

24、the reaction conditions. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced docu

25、ment (including any amendments) applies. EN 15934, Sludge, treated biowaste, soil and waste Calculation of dry matter fraction after determination of dry residue or water content 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 15934 and the following

26、apply. 3.1 loss on ignition LOI mass fraction lost by burning up a dried sample to constant mass at a specified temperature 3.2 residue on ignition mass fraction remaining after burning up a dried sample to constant mass at a specified temperature 4 Principle A weighed test portion is burned up in a

27、 furnace to constant mass at (550 25) C. The difference in mass before and after the ignition process is used to calculate the loss on ignition. The determination is performed on a dried sample or directly on the undried sample including a drying step or by referring to the dry matter. 5 Interferenc

28、es and sources of errors LOI is an empirical parameter, thus in principle there is no interference connected to the determination. However, for some purposes the determination of LOI is used for the assessment of the content of organic matter in the sample. It should be noted that elementary carbon

29、in the sample will be included in the loss on ignition value. Furthermore, any volatilisation or chemical reactions of inorganic compounds will also be included in the loss on ignition value. Chemically bound water could be released during heating, thereby contributing to the loss on ignition. BS EN

30、 15935:2012EN 15935:2012 (E) 6 Samples containing iron or other metals in low bonding state or in metallic state could be oxidised during heating, thereby contributing to the loss on ignition with a negative amount. Sulfides present in the sample could be oxidised to sulfate during heating, thereby

31、contributing to the loss on ignition with a negative amount. Explosive ignition is likely to result in loss of residue from the crucible, thereby contributing to the loss on ignition. Calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide present in large amounts (e.g. sludge conditioned with lime) may combine with sul

32、furic oxides liberated during ignition or with carbon dioxide formed during ignition resulting in too low a content of the loss on ignition. Such reactions can be avoided using the stepwise heating procedure stated in 7.1 combined with a sufficient ventilation rate in the furnace and a height of the

33、 sample layer in the crucible not exceeding 5 mm. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Crucible, preferably flat bottom type and typically 50 mm to 70 mm in diameter, suitable for ignition at 550 C, e.g. made of nickel, platinum, porcelain, or silica. 6.2 Muffle furnace, or equivalent equipment, capable of maintaining a

34、 temperature of (550 25) C. 6.3 Metal plate, or comparable plate, suitable for the initial cooling of crucibles. 6.4 Desiccator, with an active drying agent, such as silica gel. 6.5 Precision balance, with an accuracy of at least 1 mg. 7 Procedure 7.1 Samples with low content of volatiles If the det

35、ermination of dry matter fraction and the determination of loss on ignition are carried out in successive operations in the same crucible refer to EN 15934 for the initial crucible weighing. If the determinations are performed as separate operations, representative portions of the sample shall be us

36、ed for the determination of loss on ignition and dry matter fraction according to EN 15934. Alternatively the sample material may be dried according to EN 15934 before the determination of the loss on ignition. Every necessary precaution shall be taken to avoid absorption of atmospheric humidity by

37、the sample until weighed. Place a crucible (6.1) in the furnace (6.2) and heat to (550 25) C for at least 30 min. Transfer the crucible from the furnace after initial cooling on a metal plate (6.3) to a desiccator (6.4) and finish cooling to ambient temperature. Weigh the empty crucible using a prec

38、ision balance (6.5) to the nearest 1 mg. Weigh into the crucible 0,5 g to 5 g of the test portion to the nearest 1 mg, and place the crucible into the furnace. Raise the furnace temperature to (550 25) C and hold this temperature for at least 2 h. The sample layer in the crucible should not exceed a

39、 height of 5 mm. If the test portion has high organic matter content, losses may occur as a result of rapid ignition or deflagration of the sample. In this case heat the sample slowly until ignition. For certain wastes (e.g. paper wastes and demolition wood) a step-wise heating process can be used:

40、the crucible is inserted in a cold furnace; the temperature is raised slowly to 250 C over a period of 50 min, allowing pyrolysis of the sample. Then the temperature is raised slowly to 550 C and the 550 C is kept for at least 2 h. If the sample contains higher amounts of moisture, insert the crucib

41、le in a cold furnace and raise the furnace temperature evenly to (550 25) C over a period of 1 h and hold this temperature for at least 2 h. BS EN 15935:2012EN 15935:2012 (E) 7 Place the hot crucible containing the residue on ignition on a metal plate (6.3) for a few minutes. While still warm, trans

42、fer the crucible to a desiccator (6.4) and leave to cool to ambient temperature. As soon as ambient temperature is reached, weigh the crucible containing the ignition residue to the nearest 1 mg. If black carbon particles are still present (some organic substances burn slowly at 550 C), moisten the

43、residue using a few drops of an ammonium nitrate solution. Insert the crucible into the furnace and slowly heat to avoid losses by the steam development and continue heating the residue at (550 25) C. Ammonium nitrate solution is prepared by dissolving 10 g of reagent grade ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3,

44、 in 100 ml distilled water. 7.2 Samples containing volatile substances For samples containing significant amounts of volatile substances the dry matter cannot be determined as dry residue. In this case the dry matter shall be calculated from the water content according to EN 15934 method B, and the

45、loss on ignition is always performed directly on the undried sample. Place a crucible (6.1) in the furnace (6.2) and heat at (550 25) C for at least 30 min. Transfer the crucible from the furnace after initial cooling on a metal plate (6.3) to a desiccator (6.4) and finish cooling to ambient tempera

46、ture. Weigh the empty crucible using a precision balance (6.5) to the nearest 1 mg. Weigh into the crucible 0,5 g to 5 g of the test portion to the nearest 1 mg. Larger masses may be taken if complete combustion can be assured. All necessary precautions should be taken to avoid loss of volatiles fro

47、m the samples until it has been weighed. To avoid splashing caused by escaping vapours or sudden fire, most of the volatile components should be removed from the sample at ambient temperature in a fume hood prior to ignition. Samples containing highly flammable components e.g. solvents or waste oil

48、should be ignited and allowed to burn in a fume hood before being inserted into the furnace. When ready place the crucible into the cold furnace. Raise the furnace temperature to (550 25) C and hold this temperature for at least 1 h. Place the hot crucible containing the residue on ignition on a met

49、al plate (6.3) for a few minutes. While still warm, transfer the crucible to a desiccator (6.4) and leave to cool to ambient temperature. As soon as ambient temperature is reached, weigh the crucible containing the ignition residue to the nearest 1 mg. If black carbon particles are still present (some organic substances burn slowly at 550 C), moisten the residue using a few drops of an ammonium nitrate solution. Insert the crucible into the furnace and slowly heat to avoid losses by the steam developm
