Standard Test Method for Determination of Forms of Chlorine in Refuse-Derived Fuel
Standard Test Method for Determination of Forms of Chlorine in Refuse-Derived Fuel
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1 The standard is available to producers and users of RDF for determining the content and forms of chlorine present in refuse-derived fuel. SCOPE 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the forms of chlorine in refuse-derived fuel-three (RDF): total chlorine, water-soluble chloride, and water-insoluble chlorine. 1.2 This test method may be applicable to any waste material from which a laboratory analysis sample can be prepared. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precaution statements, see Section 6 and 11.2.1. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
ASTM E776-23 is the standard test method for the determination of forms of chlorine in refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Developed by ASTM International, this standard is crucial for both producers and users of RDF, providing methods to quantify total chlorine, water-soluble chloride, and water-insoluble chlorine present in waste-derived fuels. The determination of chlorine forms is essential, as chlorine content impacts the combustion characteristics of RDF and influences environmental compliance regarding emissions and ash handling.

ASTM E776-23 references and aligns with several related ASTM standards for comprehensive waste analysis, including:
Implementing ASTM E776-23 ensures reliable, precise, and consistent determination of chlorine forms in RDF. The results help optimize fuel processing, minimize operational disruptions, and address regulatory compliance concerning emissions and ash residue. The standard provides a foundation for actionable decision-making in RDF production, waste-to-energy projects, and environmental monitoring, directly supporting the transition to sustainable waste management practices.
