Tests for chemical properties of aggregates - Part 7: Determination of loss of ignition of Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (MIBA Aggregate); German version EN 1744-7:2012
Prüfverfahren für chemische Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen - Teil 7: Bestimmung des Glühverlustes von Hausmüllverbrennungsasche (HMV-Asche); Deutsche Fassung EN 1744-7:2012
Overview
The document (EN 1744-7:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154 "Aggregates", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-03-13 AA "Gemeinschaftsausschuss NMP/FGSV: Gesteinskörnungen; Prüfverfahren, Petrographie, Probenahme und Präzision" ("Joint Working Committee of NMP/FGSV: Aggregates; test methods, petrography, sampling and precision") at DIN. This European Standard specifies the test method used for the determination of the loss on ignition (LOI) of MIBA aggregates produced by processing Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA). This European Standard describes the reference method for LOI of MIBA aggregates. For the purpose of type testing and in case of dispute only the reference method should be used. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. The proportion of unburned residues in MIBA aggregate is determined by measuring the loss on ignition in an oxidizing atmosphere.
