Method Approval

GBT4633-2014 and ISO11724 and ASTM D5987

Procedure

1. Prepare instrument as outlined in the operator’s instruction manual (check the solutions , pure water content and electrodes ,oxygen gas flow and etc.)

2. Do three blanks sample “Fkt” titration （initialize the titration system）

3. Combustion pretreatment with two empty crucibles (this process only for first time of using of each day)

4. Weigh a portion(0.5g) of solid waste sample in crucible, then cover the sample with a flat layer of silica sand

5. Load two crucibles with sample as prepared in step 4 , then” start” analysis

6. 2 samples of calibration substance to check the calibration after 10 duplicate sample analysis

7. Repetition of point 4 to point 6 until all samples are processed

Note: Do Calibrating refer to operator’s instruction manual for details.
