19、uxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Introduction Organic carbon in waste as well as in sludges and sediments is found in various forms. Due to the diversity of possible organic carbon compounds, the quantitative determination of all individual
20、 organic components of natural and anthropogenic origin is not possible. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the measurement of total quantities. One of these is total organic carbon (TOC). This parameter may be used for assessing the suitability of waste for landfilling. 1Scope This European Stan
21、dard specifies two methods for the determination of total organic carbon (TOC) in undried waste samples containing more than 1 g carbon per kg of dry matter (0,1 %). This standard can be applied as well to sludges, sediments and comparable materials. When present, elemental carbon, carbides, cyanide
22、s, cyanates, isocyanates, isothiocyanates and thiocyanates are determined as organic carbon using the methods described in this standard. An interpretation of the measured value may therefore be problematical in cases where the waste contains relevant levels of the above mentioned components. If nee
23、ded, these components shall be determined separately by means of a suitable validated procedure and be recorded in the test report. NOTEAt the time of publication of this European Standard a standardized procedure for determination of elemental carbon in waste is not available. Licensed Copy: sheffi

29、arbon that is liberated as carbon dioxide by acid treatment 3.3 total organic carbon (TOC) the quantity carbon that is converted into carbon dioxide by combustion and which is not liberated as carbon dioxide by acid treatment NOTEBe aware that the above definitions are valid for this European Standa
30、rd only and do not comply completely with scientific definitions of TC, TOC and TIC. 4Principle The TOC can be measured either by Method A (indirect procedure) or by Method B (direct procedure). 4.1Method A (indirect procedure) In this procedure the TOC is obtained by the difference between the resu
31、lts of the measurements of TC and TIC. The total carbon (TC) present in the undried sample is converted to carbon dioxide by combustion in an oxygen-containing gas flow free of carbon dioxide. To ensure complete combustion, catalysts and/or modifiers can be used. The released amount of carbon dioxid
32、e is measured by infrared spectrometry, gravimetry, coulometry, conductometry, thermal conductivity detection, flame ionization detection after reduction to methane, or other suitable techniques.

33、SI EN 13137:2001 (E) 5 The TIC is determined separately from another sub-sample by means of acidification and purging of the released carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is measured by one of the techniques mentioned above. 4.2 Method B (direct procedure) In this procedure the carbonates present in t
34、he undried sample are previously removed by treating the sample with acid. The carbon dioxide released by the following combustion step is measured by one of the techniques mentioned in 4.1 and indicates the TOC directly. 4.3 Applicability of Methods A or B Methods A and B have the same applicabilit
35、y in the terms of TOC content and/or TIC to TOC ratio. Method B may lead to incorrect results in following cases: ? the sample contains volatile substances that evaporate during the acidification (e.g. volatile hydrocarbons from sludge of oil separators); ? side reactions between the sample and the
36、acid take place (e.g. decarboxylation, volatile reaction products). If these restrictions can be excluded, Methods A and B lead to comparable results. In case of doubt, Method A should be preferred. NOTEThe quality of results of Method B is more dependant on experience and practice, especially regar
37、ding the steps before combustion. 5 Interferences Volatile organic substances may be lost during sample preparation. If necessary, the carbon content resulting from volatile organic substances shall be determined separately. The procedures may lead to unreliable TOC results if the TIC to TOC ratio i
38、s very high (e.g. ? 10). Depending on the detection method used, different interferences may occur, for instance: ? the presence of cyanide can interfere with the coulometric detection of TIC by modifying the pH value (dissolution of HCN); ? high content of halogenated compounds may lead to an overe
39、stimation of TOC when coulometric detection is used; in some cases the classical silver or copper trap can be insufficient to absorb all halides. 6 Hazards Samples may be liable to fermentation and may be infectious. Due to this it is recommended to handle these samples with special care. The gases
40、which may occur due to the microorganism activities are potentially flammable. Excessive pressure build-up may cause the sample container to burst, potentially resulting in the formation of infectious aerosols and contaminated shrapnel. Harmful compounds may arise during the combustion process and d
41、uring the acid treatment. The user has to take appropriate precautions (e.g. activated carbon filters) to avoid these getting into the laboratory environment. Samples with a high organic content may explode at introduction into the furnace. This risk can be reduced by using less sample or covering t
42、he sample with inert material.
