Designation:D523392(Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forSingle Batch Extraction Method for Wastes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5233;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method is applicable to the extraction ofsamples of treated or untreated solid wastes or sludges,orsolidified waste samples,to provide an indication of theleaching potential.1.2 This test method is intended to provide an extract formeasurement of the concentration of the analytes of concern.The measured values may be compared against set or chosenacceptance levels in some applications.1.3 If the sole application of the test method is such apass/fail comparison and a total analysis of the waste demon-strates that individual analytes are not present in the waste,orthat the chosen acceptance concentration levels could notpossibly be exceeded,the test method need not be run.1.4 If the sole application of the test method is such apass/fail comparison and an analysis of any one of the liquidfractions of the extract indicates that the concentration of thetarget analyte is so high that,even after accounting for dilutionfrom the other fractions of the extract,it would be equal to orabove an acceptance concentration level,then the waste failsthe test.In such a case it may not be necessary to analyze theremaining fractions of the extract.1.5 This test method is intended to provide an extractsuitable for the measurement of the concentration of analytesthat will not volatilize under the conditions of the test method.1.6 Presence of volatile analytes may be established if ananalysis of the extract obtained using this test method detectsthe target volatile analyte.If its concentration is equal to orexceeds an acceptance level for that analyte,the waste fails thetest.However,extract from this test method shall not be usedto determine the concentration of volatile organic analytes.1.7 This test method is intended to describe only theprocedure for performing a batch extraction.It does notdescribe all of the sampling and analytical requirements thatmay be associated with the application of this test method.1.8 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are tobe regarded as the standard.The values given in parenthesesare for information only.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For a specificprecautionary statement,see Note 8.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D75 Practice for Sampling AggregatesD420 Guide to Site Characterization for Engineering Designand Construction Purposes(Withdrawn 2011)3D653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD1129 Terminology Relating to WaterD1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD2234/D2234M Practice for Collection of a Gross Sampleof CoalD3370 Practices for Sampling Water from Closed ConduitsE122 Practice for Calculating Sample Size to Estimate,WithSpecified Precision,the Average for a Characteristic of aLot or ProcessES 16 Practice for the Generation of Environmental DataRelated to Waste Management Activites43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used but not de-fined in this test method,see Terminology D1129.4.Summary of Test Method(See Fig.1)4.1 For wastes containing less than 0.5%dry solid material,the filtrate of the waste,after filtration through a 0.6 to 0.8-m1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.04 on WasteLeaching Techniques.Current edition approved Sept.1,2009.Published November 2009.Originallyapproved in 1992.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D52331992(2004).DOI:10.1520/D5233-92R09.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 11.04(see 1991 edition).Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 glass fiber filter,is defined as the method extract.Extraction ofthe solid is not required for such wastes.5,64.2 For wastes containing greater than or equal to 0.5%drysolid material,the liquid,if any,is separated from the solidphase and stored for later analysis.The solid phase is extractedwith an amount of extraction fluid equal to 20 times the weightof the solid phase.The
