Characteristic/Property
Limits of Acceptability
Volatile Sulfur
1.0 % Maximum
Volatile Chloride
1.7 % Maximum—Neville Island
4.0 % Maximum—Big Sandy
Volatile Bromide
0.3% Maximum
Volatile Fluoride
0.4 % Maximum
High Exotherm During Reactivation
Require Case-by-Case Approval
Potassium
Maximum of 0.1 wt. %
Sodium
Maximum of 1.0 wt. %
Trace Metals
Require Case-by-Case Approval (See metals guidelines below)
Acutely Toxic, Odorous, or OSHA Regulated Adsorbates
This table lists the metals limitations which are used to evaluate carbon acceptance projects. Spent carbons with metals concentrations above these guidelines will not be approved for reactivation whether non-hazardous or RCRA hazardous.
