ASTM E776

Standard Test Method for Determination of Forms of Chlorine in Refuse-Derived Fuel

Applicability: ASTM E776 is a standard test method primarily used to determine the forms of chlorine present in refuse-derived fuel (RDF), specifically focusing on total chlorine, water-soluble chloride, and water-insoluble chlorine. It is applicable to any waste material from which a laboratory analysis sample can be prepared.

Purpose: The standard provides a way to analyze the chlorine content in RDF, breaking it down into soluble and insoluble forms. This distinction is crucial because chlorine can exist in different chemical forms, each with potentially different effects during combustion.
