1.1This practice covers the determination of the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon to remove undesirable constituents from water and waste water. It can be used to evaluate the adsorptive capacity of activated or reactivated carbon.

1.2This practice is not recommended unless special precautions are taken to reduce loss during sample preparation and analysis.

1.3This practice is recommended to determine the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon for the following applications, but is not limited to these applications:

1.3.1Removal of color from dye mill waste water,

1.3.2Removal of taste or odor constituents, or both, from potable waters,

1.3.3Removal of toxicants from water,

1.3.4Removal of surface-active agents from water,

1.3.5Removal of BOD5 from sanitary waste waters, and

1.3.6Removal of TOC from industrial waste waters.

1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
