Standard Test Method for Volatile Matter Content of Activated Carbon Samples

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Volatile matter, when determined as herein described, may be used as a relative measure of the extent of carbonization in an activated carbon and the extent of loading of volatile material on an activated carbon that has been used in an adsorption application.

5.2 Combined with other information, the volatile matter of an activated carbon may be useful in evaluating its performance in an adsorption application.

5.3 Other automated methods for the determination of the volatile content of solids, such as using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), can be used in place of this test method with equally reliable results.
