A new ASTM International practice could help people who study and manage waste from mined ores as well as waste rock and metallurgical process waste. The standardized practice uses a process called shake extraction in which water leaches from a dry waste sample overnight. The resulting solution can then be separated and analyzed for characteristics such as pH level, alkalinity, acidity, anions,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #10474
