Characterisation of waste - Leaching behaviour test for basic characterisation - Dynamic monolithic leaching test with periodic leachant renewal, under fixed test conditions
This document is applicable for determining the leaching behaviour of monolithic wastes under dynamic conditions. The test is performed under fixed experimental conditions in this document. This test is aimed at determining the release as a function of time of inorganic constituents from a monolithic waste, when it is put into contact with an aqueous solution (leachant).
This Dynamic Monolithic Leaching Test (DMLT) is a parameter specific test as specified in EN 12920 and is therefore not aimed at simulating real situations. The application of this test method alone is not sufficient for the determination of the detailed leaching behaviour of a monolithic waste under specified conditions.
In the framework of EN 12920 and in combination with additional chemical information, the test results are used to identify the leaching mechanisms and their relative importance. The intrinsic properties can be used to predict the release of constituents at a given time frame, in order to assess the leaching behaviour of monolithic waste materials, placed in different situations or scenarios (including disposal and recycling scenarios).
The test method applies to regularly shaped test portions of monolithic wastes with minimum dimensions of
40 mm in all directions, that are assumed to maintain their integrity over a time frame relevant for the considered scenario. The test method applies to test portions for which the geometric surface area can be determined with the help of simple geometric equations. The test method applies to low permeable monolithic materials.
NOTE 1 If, in order to comply with the requirements of regular shape, the test portion is prepared by cutting or coring, then new surfaces are exposed which can lead to change(s) in leaching properties. On the other hand if the test portion is prepared by moulding, the surface will be dependent to the type of mould and the conditions of storage. If the intention is to evaluate the behaviour of the material core, the
Charakterisierung von Abfällen - Untersuchung des Auslaugungsverhaltens für die grundlegende Charakterisierung - Dynamisches Auslaugungsverfahren für monolithische Abfälle mit periodischer Erneuerung des Auslaugungsmittels unter festgelegten Prüfbedingungen
Diese Technische Spezifikation ist für die Bestimmung des Auslaugungsverhaltens von monolithischen Abfällen unter dynamischen Bedingungen anwendbar. Diese Untersuchung wird unter den festgelegten experimentellen Bedingungen diesem Dokument durchgeführt. Diese Untersuchung ist auf die Bestimmung der Freisetzung von anorganischen Bestandteilen aus monolithischem Abfall in Bezug auf die Zeit gerichtet, zu der er in Kontakt mit der wässrigen Lösung (Auslaugungsmittel) kommt.
Dieses dynamische Auslaugungsverfahren für monolithische Abfälle (DMLT, en: Dynamic Monolithic Leaching Test) ist ein Parameter einer in EN 12920 festgelegten besonderen Untersuchung und gilt deshalb nicht für die Simulation tatsächlicher Situationen. Die Anwendung dieses Untersuchungsverfahrens ist allein nicht aus¬reichend für die Bestimmung des ausführlichen Auslaugungsverhaltens von monolithischen Abfällen unter festgelegten Bedingungen.
Im Rahmen der EN 12920 und in Kombination mit zusätzlichen chemischen Angaben werden die Unter-suchungsergebnisse zur Identifizierung der Auslaugungsmechanismen und ihres Stellenwertes angewendet. Die eigentlichen Eigenschaften können zur Vorhersage der Freisetzung der Bestandteile in einem festgelegten Zeitrahmen angewendet werden, um das Auslaugungsverhalten von monolithischen Abfallstoffen zu bewerten, die unterschiedlichen Situationen oder Szenarien (einschließlich Szenarien der Deponierung und der Wiederverwertung) ausgesetzt wurden.
Das Untersuchungsverfahren ist bei regelmäßig geformten Prüfmengen von monolithischen Abfällen mit Mindestmaßen von 40 mm in alle Richtungen anwendbar, bei denen vorausgesetzt wird, dass sie ihre Unver-sehrtheit über einen für die Beobachtung des Szenarios relevanten Zeitrahmen behalten. Das Untersuchungsverfahren ist für Prüfmengen geeignet, bei denen die geometrische Oberfläche mit einfachen geometrischen Gleichungen bestimmt werden kann. Das Untersuchungsverfahren ist für weniger durchlässige monolithische Stoffe geeignet.
ANMERKUNG 1 Wenn die Prüfmenge durch Schneiden oder Bohren vorbereitet wurde, um die Anforderung nach einer regelmäßigen Form zu erfüllen, dann werden neue Oberflächen freigelegt, was zu einer Änderung/zu Änderungen der Auslaugungseigenschaften führen könnte. Andererseits, wenn die Prüfmenge durch Formpressen vorbereitet wird, wird die Oberfläche von der Art des Pressens und den Lagerungsbedingungen abhängen. Bei beabsichtigter Bewertung des Verhaltens des Stoffkerns muss der Prüfkörper ohne jeden Kontakt mit Luft aufbewahrt werden, um eine Karbonisierung zu vermeiden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Bei monolithischen Abfallstoffen mit einer gesättigten hydraulischen Leitfähigkeit von mehr als 108 m/s wird Wasser wahrscheinlich durch den Monolithen durchsickern anstatt um ihn herum zu fließen. In solchen Fällen kann es in Bezug auf die Freisetzung von der geometrischen Oberfläche zu Fehlinterpretationen führen. Eine Perkolations¬prüfung ist dann besser geeignet (z. B. CEN/TS 14405).
Dieses Verfahren darf nicht bei Stoffen angewendet werden, die mit dem Auslaugungsmittel reagieren, was z. B. zu einer übermäßigen Gasemission oder einer unverhältnismäßigen Wärmefreisetzung führt.
Dieses Dokument wurde entwickelt, um vor allem die Freisetzung anorganischer Bestandteile aus Abfällen zu bestimmen. Es berücksichtigt nicht die besonderen Eigenschaften der organischen Bestandteile und auch nicht die Folgen der mikrobiologischen Prozesse in den organisch abbaubaren Abfällen.
Caractérisation des déchets - Essais de comportement à la lixiviation pour la caractérisation de base - Essai de lixiviation dynamique des monolithes avec renouvellement périodique du lixiviant, dans des conditions d'essai fixes
La présente Spécification technique s'applique à la détermination du comportement à la lixiviation des déchets
monolithiques dans des conditions dynamiques. L'essai est réalisé dans des conditions expérimentales fixées dans le
présent document. L’essai a pour objectif de déterminer le relargage en fonction du temps des constituants
inorganiques de déchets monolithiques lorsqu'ils entrent en contact avec une solution aqueuse (lixiviant).
Le présent essai de lixiviation dynamique des monolithes (DMLT) est un essai paramétrique tel que spécifié dans
l'EN 12920, il n'a donc pas pour objectif de simuler des situations réelles. L'application de la présente méthode d'essai
seule ne suffit pas à déterminer le comportement détaillé à la lixiviation d'un déchet monolithique dans des conditions
spécifiées.
Dans le cadre de l'EN 12920 et en association avec des informations chimiques supplémentaires, les résultats d'essai
sont utilisés pour identifier les mécanismes de lixiviation et leur importance relative. Ces propriétés intrinsèques
peuvent être utilisées pour prévoir le relargage des constituants sur une période donnée, afin d'évaluer le
comportement à la lixiviation des déchets monolithiques dans différentes situations ou scénarios (y compris les
scénarios d'élimination et de recyclage).
Karakterizacija odpadkov - Izluževalni preskus za osnovno karakterizacijo - Dinamični izluževalni preskus pri določenih pogojih za izluževanje monolitnih odpadkov z občasnim obnavljanjem izluževalnega medija
Ta tehnična specifikacija se uporablja za določanje izluževanja monolitnih odpadkov pri dinamičnih pogojih. Ta preskus se izvaja pod preskusnimi pogoji, določenimi v tem dokumentu. S tem preskusom se ugotavlja izpust kot funkcija časa neorganskih sestavin iz monolitnih odpadkov, ko pridejo v stik z vodno raztopino (izluževalnim medijem). Ta dinamični izluževalni preskus za monolitne odpadke (DMLT) je preskus z določenimi parametri, ki so navedeni v standardu EN 12920, zato ne simulira dejanskih pogojev. Uporaba samo te preskusne metode ne zadostuje za določanje podrobnega izluževanja monolitnih odpadkov pod določenimi pogoji. V okviru standarda EN 12920 in v kombinaciji z dodatnimi kemijskimi podatki se rezultati preskusa uporabljajo za identifikacijo izluževalnih mehanizmov in njihove relativne pomembnosti. Bistvene lastnosti se lahko uporabijo za napoved izpusta sestavin v danem časovnem okviru, da se oceni izluževanje monolitnih odpadnih materialov v različnih okoliščinah ali načrtih (vključno z recikliranjem in odstranitvijo). Ta preskusna metoda se uporablja za preskusne vzorce monolitnih odpadkov pravilne oblike z najmanjšimi merami 40 mm v vse smeri, za katere se predvideva, da v časovnem okviru, ustreznem za zadevni načrt, ohranijo svojo neoporečnost. Ta preskusna metoda se uporablja za preskusne vzorce, pri katerih se lahko geometrijska površina določi s preprostimi geometrijskimi enačbami. Ta preskusna metoda se uporablja za slabo prepustne monolitne materiale. OPOMBA 1 Če se preskusni vzorec zaradi izpolnjevanja zahteve po pravilni obliki pripravi z rezanjem ali vrtanjem, se izpostavijo nove površine, pri čemer se lahko lastnosti izluževanja spremenijo. Če se preskusni vzorec pripravi z oblikovanjem, je površina odvisna od vrste kalupa in pogojev shranjevanja. Če je namen merjenja ocena obnašanja jedra snovi, mora biti primerek shranjen tako, da ne pride v stik z zrakom, pri čemer se prepreči karbonatizacija. OPOMBA 2 Pri monolitnih odpadkih z nasičeno hidravlično prevodnostjo, ki je višja od 10-8 m/s, se lahko voda skozi monolit precedi, namesto da se pretaka okoli. V takih primerih lahko zaradi izpusta na geometrijsko površino pride do napačne interpretacije. Takrat je bolj primeren preskus precejanja (npr. CEN/TS 14405). Ta postopek se ne sme uporabljati za materiale, ki reagirajo z izluževalnim medijem, ker lahko nastanejo prekomerni izpusti plina ali prekomerno sproščanje toplote. Ta dokument je bil pripravljen za ugotavljanje izpusta pretežno neorganskih sestavin iz odpadkov. Ne upošteva posebnih značilnosti organskih sestavin in posledic mikrobioloških procesov v organskih razgradljivih odpadkih.

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15863:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 292
“Characterization of waste”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been developed primarily to support the requirements for leaching behaviour testing within
EU and EFTA countries.
This document was elaborated on the basis of NEN 7345:1995.
This document specifies a dynamic leaching test for monolithic waste materials, to determine key parameters
to address the leaching behaviour of monolithic waste materials.
For the complete characterization of the leaching behaviour of waste under specified conditions the
application of other test methods is required, (see EN 12920).
Anyone dealing with waste and sludge analysis should be aware of the typical risks of that kind of material
irrespective of the parameter to be determined. Waste and sludge samples can contain hazardous (e.g. toxic,
reactive, flammable, infectious) substances, which can be liable to biological and/or chemical reaction.
Consequently these samples should be handled with special care. Gases which can be produced by
microbiological or chemical activity are potentially flammable and will pressurise sealed bottles. Bursting
bottles are likely to result in hazardous shrapnel, dust and/or aerosol. National regulations should be followed
with respect to all hazards associated with this method.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
In the different European countries, tests have been developed to characterize and assess the constituents
which can be leached from waste materials. The release of soluble constituents upon contact with water is
regarded as one of the main mechanism of release which results in a potential risk to the environment during
life-cycle of waste materials (disposal or re-use scenario). The intent of these tests is to identify the leaching
properties of waste materials. The complexity of the leaching process makes simplifications necessary. Not all
of the relevant aspects of leaching behaviour can be addressed in one single standard.
Procedures to characterize the behaviour of waste materials can generally be divided into three steps, using
different tests in relation to the objective. The following test hierarchy is taken from the Landfill Directive and
the Decision on Annex II of this Directive for disposal of waste.
a) Basic characterization constitutes a full characterization of the waste by gathering all the necessary
information for a safe management of the waste in the short and long term. Basic characterization may
provide information on the waste (type and origin, composition, consistency, leachability, etc.),
information for understanding the behaviour of waste in the considered management scenario,
comparison of waste properties against limit values, and detection of key variables (critical parameters as
liquid/solid (L/S) ratios, leachant composition, factors controlling leachability such as pH, redox potential,
complexing capacity and physical parameters) for compliance testing and options for simplification of
compliance testing. Characterization may deliver ratios between test results from basic characterization
and results from simplified test procedures as well as information on a suitable frequency for compliance
testing. In addition to the leaching behaviour, the composition of the waste should be known or
determined by testing. The tests used for basic characterization should always include those to be used
for compliance testing.
b) Compliance testing is used to demonstrate that the sample of today fits the population of samples tested
before by basic characterization and through that, is used to carry out compliance with regulatory limit
values. The compliance test should therefore always be part of the basic characterization program. The
compliance test focuses on key variables and leaching behaviour identified by basic characterization
tests. Parts of basic characterization tests can also be used for compliance purposes.
c) On-site verification tests are used as a rapid check to confirm that the waste is the same as that which
has been subjected to characterization or compliance tests. On-site verification tests are not necessarily
leaching tests.
The test procedure described in this document is a basic characterization test and falls in category a).
According to EN 12920 the evaluation of the release of constituents from waste materials in a certain scenario
involves the performance of various tests. This document describes one of the parametric test that can be
used for such purposes, especially for monolithic waste.
The test procedure allows the determination of the release under dynamic conditions of constituents from a
monolithic waste material, as a function of time. This release is calculated from the concentrations of the
constituents measured in the solution (eluate) that is collected in a fixed number of separate fractions.
Besides, the following test conditions are fixed: the type of leachant, the temperature, the liquid to surface
area ratio, and the duration of the test.
Results of this test, combined with those from other tests (e.g. CEN/TS 14429) and the use of more or less
sophisticated models, allow the identification of the main leaching mechanisms that can be distinguished,
