Status: | inactive |
Page Count: | 6 |
ICS Code (Solid wastes): | 13.030.10 |
significance And Use:
5.1 The TSEC provides a quantitative measure of the total solvent extractable organic content of the solid waste in question. Based upon the TSEC, the extract may be analyzed or further processed... View More
scope:
1.1 These test methods describe standard procedures for gravimetrically determining the total nonvolatile and semi-volatile organic content of solvent extracts from soils or solid wastes. The following methods are included:
Section | |
Method A-Micro-Determinatio | 11-13 |
Method B-Evaporating Dish Procedure | 14-16 |
Method C-Boiling Flask Procedure | 17-19 |
1.2 These methods are used after a solvent extract is obtained from a soil or solid waste. For these methods to be applicable, the extraction solvent must have a boiling point less than that of water at ambient pressure.
1.3 The total solvent extractable content (TSEC) of a soil, sediment, sludge, or solid waste depends upon the solvent and method used for the extraction procedure.
