1、Designation:D 1756 02(Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Method forDetermination as Carbon Dioxide of Carbonate Carbon inCoal1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1756;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the y
2、ear of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of carbondioxide in coal in any form,such as mineral carbonate,fromwhich
3、carbon dioxide is released by action of mineral acids.Itapplies to high-carbonate and low-carbonate coals.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility
4、 of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D 1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD 2013 Practice for Preparing Coal Samples for AnalysisD 3180 Pr
5、actice for Calculating Coal and Coke Analysesfrom As-Determined to Different Bases3.Summary of Test Method3.1 The determination of carbon dioxide is made by decom-posing with acid a weighed quantity of the sample in a closedsystem and absorbing the carbon dioxide in an absorbent.Theincrease in weigh
6、t of the absorbent is a measure of the carbondioxide in the sample used.4.Significance and Use4.1 Small amounts of mineral carbonates occur in manycoals and comparatively large amounts in some coals.Thedetermination of these carbonates is the purpose of this testmethod.The value found for carbon dio
7、xide is used to estimatethe mineral matter content,particularly CaCO3and MgCO3,ofhigh-carbonate coals.5.Apparatus(see Fig.1)5.1 The use of apparatus modified from that shown in Fig.1 shall be considered permissible so long as results agreewithin the accepted precision.35.2 Air-Purifying Train,consis

9、ree-hole rubber stopper.One hole is toaccommodate a 60-mL open-end separatory funnel(4)extend-ing almost to the bottom of the flask(5).The second hole in thestopper is used to connect the purifying train through the trap(3);the tip of the glass tubing shall extend almost to the bottomof flask(5).The
10、 third hole of the stopper shall be fitted to awater-cooled condenser(6).5.4 Absorption Unit,consisting of a water absorber(7)filledwith an acceptable desiccant connected to the condenser(6)onthe one side and on the other side to absorber(8)containinganhydrous copper sulfate on pumice or granular si
11、lver sulfate.The carbon dioxide absorber(9)shall be connected to absorber(8)and to another water absorber(10).The absorber(10)shallbe connected to a T-piece stopcock(11)which in turn shall beattached to a filter-flask(12).The system shall be aspirated bya water pump(13).6.Purity of Reagents6.1 Purit
