Characterization of waste - Leaching behaviour test - Influence of pH on leaching with initial acid/base addition; German version EN 14429:2015
Charakterisierung von Abfällen - Untersuchung des Elutionsverhaltens - Einfluss des pH-Wertes auf die Elution unter vorheriger Säure/Base-Zugabe; Deutsche Fassung EN 14429:2015
Overview
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the influence of pH on the leachability of inorganic constituents from a waste material. The equilibrium condition as defined in the standard is established by addition of pre-determined amounts of acid or base to reach desired end pH values. This test method produces eluates, which are subsequently characterized physically and chemically. The responsible German body is NA 119-01-02-05 UA "Elutionsverfahren" ("Leaching methods") of Working Committee NA 119-01-02 AA "Abfall- und Bodenuntersuchung" ("Waste and soil investigation") of the DIN Standards Committee Water Practice (NAW).
