Solid biofuels - Determination of volatile matter (ISO 18123:2023)

ISO 18123:2015 aims to define the requirements and method used to determine the volatile matter content of solid biofuels. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use machinery, equipment, tools, and entire plants related to solid biofuels, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling, and utilizing solid biofuels.
The volatile matter content is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is subject to partial pyrolysis under standardized conditions.

Biogene Festbrennstoffe - Bestimmung flüchtiger Bestandteile (ISO 18123:2023)

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an und ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung von flüchtigen Bestandteilen von biogenen Festbrennstoffen fest. Sie ist für Personen und Organisationen bestimmt, die sich mit der Fertigung, der Planung, dem Verkauf, der Aufstellung oder dem Einsatz von Maschinen, Ausrüstungen, Werkzeugen und kompletten Anlagen für biogene Festbrennstoffe befassen, und für alle Personen und Organisationen, die in Erzeugung, Einkauf, Verkauf und Verwertung von biogenen Festbrennstoffen einbezogen sind.

Biocombustibles solides - Détermination des matières volatiles (ISO 18123:2023)

ISO 18123:2015 a pour objectif de définir la méthode utilisée pour déterminer la teneur en matières volatiles des biocombustibles solides, et les exigences afférentes. Elle est destinée aux personnes et aux entreprises qui fabriquent, conçoivent, vendent, montent ou utilisent des machines, des équipements, des outils et des usines complètes en lien avec les biocombustibles solides, et à toutes les personnes et entreprises impliquées dans la production, l'achat, la vente et l'utilisation de biocombustibles solides.
La teneur en matières volatiles est déterminée comme étant la perte de masse, diminuée de celle due à l'humidité, qui s'opère lorsque le biocombustible solide est soumis à une pyrolyse partielle dans des conditions normalisées.

Trdna biogoriva - Določevanje vsebnosti hlapnih snovi (ISO 18123:2023)

Namen standarda ISO 18123:2015 je opredelitev zahtev in metod, ki se uporabljajo za določevanje vsebnosti hlapnih snovi v trdnih biogorivih. Namenjen je osebam in organizacijam, ki proizvajajo, načrtujejo, prodajajo, sestavljajo ali uporabljajo stroje, opremo, orodja in celotne obrate, povezane s trdnimi biogorivi, ter vsem osebam in organizacijam, ki so vključene v proizvodnjo, nabavo, prodajo in izkoriščanje trdnih biogoriv.
Vsebnost hlapnih snovi se določi kot izguba mase, zmanjšana za vlago, ko se za trdno biogorivo izvede delna piroliza pri standardnih pogojih.

Introduction
The volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when a solid biofuel
is heated out of contact with air under standardised conditions. The test is empirical and, in order
to ensure reproducible results, it is essential that the rate of heating, the final temperature, and the
overall duration of the test are carefully controlled. It is also essential to exclude air from the solid
biofuel during heating to prevent oxidation. The fit of the crucible lid is therefore critical. The moisture
content of the general analysis sample is determined at the same time as the volatile matter so that the
appropriate correction can be made.
