Abstract

This standard specifies a method for determining the content of total organic carbon, corrected for the proportion of elemental carbon, in waste from high-temperature processes and in landfill substitute materials containing waste from high-temperature processes. The basis is the dry combustion of solid waste in a stream of oxygen to CO₂ in accordance with DIN EN 15936 (Method A or B) to determine the total organic carbon, followed by the subtraction of the elemental carbon. Elemental carbon is determined here following pyrolytic removal of organic carbon and interfering carbonates at 850°C under inert gas conditions, followed by dry combustion in a stream of oxygen to CO2, with contents of more than 1 g of carbon per kg (0.1% C) (per carbon type in the test sample). NOTE The total organic carbon (TOCECcor) obtained by subtraction may form the basis for the classification of waste and landfill substitute materials into landfills or landfill sections of Class 0, I, II or III in accordance with the classification values (Table 2, Annex 3) of the Landfill Ordinance (DepV).
