11、purposes there is a need to know the quantitative,extractablePAH content present in carbon black that will become part ofthe finished product.In addition,no specific test method hasbeen defined by the regulation for testing finished products orraw materials used in the finished products.4.Summary of
12、 Test Method4.1 A portion of carbon black is Soxhlet-extracted withtoluene for 48 h.The extract is concentrated and subsequentlyanalyzed for specific PAH compounds by gas chromatographywith mass spectrometry(GC/MS).Each PAH compound isquantified individually using internal and external standards.5.S
13、ignificance and Use5.1 This test procedure is used to determine the individualconcentrations of the PAH compounds in the EU-8 list ex-tracted from carbon black by the means of a Soxhlet extractionapparatus with toluene.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D24 on CarbonBlack
