Standard Test Methods for Sorbent Performance of Absorbents (Withdrawn 2018)
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
These methods are to be used as a basis for comparison of absorbents in a consistent manner.
These tests are not appropriate for adsorbent materials which are covered in Test Method F726.
These methods are not useful for a comparison of absorbents with adsorbents, even though all absorbents exhibit adsorbent properties. Both types of materials have prime areas of utility.
These methods may not list all the safety and disposal options necessary for safe ultimate disposal of used sorbent material into the environment. Federal, state, and local regulatory rules must be followed.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the development of laboratory test data which describe the performance of absorbent materials used to remove oils and other compatible fluids from water.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results of this test may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use. (For a specific warning statement see 10.4.)
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
These test methods cover the development of laboratory test data which describe the performance of absorbent materials used to remove oils and other compatible fluids from water.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F20 on Hazardous Substances and Oil Spill Response, these test methods were withdrawn in July 2018 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

viscous fragile structure. Many gels may rapidly liquefy with added heat or ionic/polar addition. These materials are
soluble/flowable in excess liquid.
3.1.2 sorbent—an insoluble material or mixture of materials used to recover liquids through the mechanisms of absorption or
adsorption, or both.
3.1.3 thickener—a material (usually of higher molecular weight) that is soluble in excess liquid. These materials go from dry
to gummy (viscoelastic) to flowable and then soluble. The final viscosity depends only on the liquid to solid ratio.
3.1.4 universal sorbent—an insoluble material or mixture of materials that will sorb both hydrophobic and hydrophilic liquid
spills.
3.2 Definitions:
3.2.1 absorbent—a material that picks up and retains a liquid distributed throughout its molecular structure causing the solid
to swell (50 % or more). The absorbent is at least 70 % insoluble in excess liquid.
3.2.2 adsorbent—an insoluble material that is coated by a liquid on its surface including pores and capillaries without the solid
swelling more than 50 % in excess liquid.
