ASTM D5600

Trace Metals in Petroleum Coke by ICP-AES

Applicability: ASTM D5600 is a test method that determines the concentration of trace metals in petroleum coke using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). This test method is used to analyze both raw and calcined petroleum coke.

Purpose: The purpose of this method is to quantify the presence and levels of various metallic elements in petroleum coke, which are crucial for determining its suitability for various end-uses.
