Trona, or sodium sesquicarbonate, is a fine mineral powder that has proven to be effective at removing acid gases from air emissions. While trona can be a useful component of air pollution control systems, it can be difficult to handle, particularly when moisture is present. A proposed new ASTM standard will present a repeatable, precise and accurate test method for analyzing moisture levels in…, ASTM Committee E01 Next Meeting:, Nov. 14-17, November Committee Week, San Antonio, Texas, Technical Contact: J, ames D.
