1、Designation:D110284(Reapproved 2013)Modification ofTechnical Association of Pulp and Paper IndustryStandard Method T 211 OM-80Standard Test Method forAsh in Wood1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1102;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal a
2、doption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of ash,expressed as the percentage
3、 of residue remaining after dryoxidation(oxidation at 580 to 600C),of wood or woodproducts.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices
4、 and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Significance and Use2.1 The ash content is an approximate measure of themineral content and other inorganic matter in wood.3.Apparatus3.1 Crucibles,with tightly fitting lids,having a capacity of30 mL or more,shall be used.Pla
5、tinum crucibles are preferred,but silica or porcelain crucibles may be used.3.2 Muffle FurnaceAn electric furnace is recommendedfor igniting the wood sample.A furnace fitted with an indicat-ing pyrometer,so that the desired temperature can bemaintained,is preferable.3.3 Analytical Balance,sensitive
6、to 0.1 mg.3.4 Drying Oven,with temperature controlled between 100and 105C.4.Test Specimen4.1 The test specimen shall consist of approximately 2 g ofwood that has been ground to pass a No.40(425-m)sieve.Care shall be taken to ensure that it is representative of theentire lot of material being tested.
7、5.Procedure5.1 Ignite the empty crucible and cover over a burner or inthe muffle at 600C,cool in a desiccator,and weigh to thenearest 0.1 mg.Place the 2-g test specimen in the crucible,determine the weight of crucible plus specimen,and place inthe drying oven at 100 to 105C with the crucible coverre
8、moved.After 1 h,replace the cover on the crucible,cool ina desiccator,and weigh.Repeat the drying and weighing untilthe weight is constant to within 0.1 mg.During the cooling andweighing periods,keep the crucible covered to prevent absorp-tion of moisture from the air.Record the weight(crucible plus
9、specimen minus weight of crucible)as the weight of theoven-dry test specimen.5.2 Place the crucible and contents,with the cover removed,in the muffle furnace and ignite until all the carbon iseliminated.Heat slowly at the start to avoid flaming and protectthe crucible from strong drafts at all times
10、 to avoid mechanicalloss of test specimen.The recommended temperature of finalignition is 580 to 600C.Avoid heating above this maximum.5.3 Remove the crucible with its contents to a desiccator,replace the cover loosely,cool,and weigh accurately.Repeatthe heating for 30-min periods until the weight a
11、fter cooling isconstant to within 0.2 mg.6.Calculations and Report6.1 Calculate the percentage of ash,based on the weight ofthe moisture-free wood,as follows:Ash,%5W1/W2!3100(1)where:W1=weight of ash,andW2=weight of oven-dry sample.6.2 Report the results to two decimal places.7.Precision and Bias27.
