DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing

Overview

This standard specifies three normative methods for the determination of the biomass fraction in solid recovered fuel, and when to use each method. The methods are the selective dissolution in a hydrogen peroxide/sulphuric acid mixture, the manual sorting method and the method based on the ¹⁴C content. The determination of the biomass content using the ¹⁴C method is based on the well established analytical procedures that are used for the determination of the age of carbon containing objects. The method of selective dissolution is based on the reaction of biomass material with a mixture of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The manual sorting method is based on the separation of different fractions by visual inspection. The standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 343 "Solid recovered fuels", the secretariat of which is held by SFS (Finland). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-83 AA "Sekundärbrennstoffe" ("Recovered fuels") of NMP.
