Standard Practice for Emulsification/Suspension of Multiphase Fluid Waste Materials

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This practice is intended as a solution to the difficulty of obtaining reproducible test results from heterogeneous samples.

5.2 This practice works best with multilayered liquids, but can also be applied to samples with solid particles that are sufficiently small in size to be suspended in an emulsion.

5.3 The emulsified/suspended sample can be used for all bulk property testing such as microwave digestion/inductively coupled argon plasma (ICAP), ion chromatography, heat of combustion, ash content, water, nonvolatile residue, and pH. It may be prudent to retain a portion of the sample in its original, multiphase form for some types of analyses.
