ASTM International will hold an organizational meeting to potentially create a new technical committee that develops voluntary consensus standards for the recycled vulcanized rubber industry. This includes both rubber and carbon black and has many practical applications including use in plastics, strengthening concrete, and infill for playgrounds. This, online meeting, is Wednesday, October 5 2016, at 10:00am EDT. Industry stakeholders and other parties interested in charting a path towards standardization for this industry are welcome to attend. Consensus standards could set a bar for this growing industry resulting in high-quality practices and products used worldwide. The objectives of the meeting are to: • bring a range of industry experts together…, ASTM Recycled Vulcanized Rubber Meeting:, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 at 10:00am (Eastern); online (Webex) meeting, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10165

Activated carbon is processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption. It has applications in the medical, environmental and energy realms, among others. Since 1962, ASTM International Committee D28 on Activated Carbon has developed standards that play a pre-eminent role in how activated carbon is used. A D28 subcommittee, D28.02 on Liquid Phase…, WK47401, Xylenol Orange Dye, The xylenol orange dye test is a way to determine the relative adsorption rate of unused or reactivated carbons by adsorption of xylenol orange from aqueous solution. This is an important means for deciding which type of activated carbon to use to a specific water treatment application. “Activated carbon performance can roughly be defined as a combination of the ability to adsorb a particular…, WK47421, Particle Size Distribution, Mercury flue gas, home water filters and potable water treatment are the main applications in which powdered and fine mesh carbons are used. A proposed new test method will describe how a laser light scattering technique can determine the particle size distribution of fine mesh activated carbon.
