Designation:D505812(Reapproved 2020)Standard Practices forCompatibility of Screening Analysis of Waste1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5058;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 These practices cover assessment of the compatibility/reactivity of waste.The individual practices are as follows:SectionsPractice ACommingled Waste Compatibility8 12Practice BPolymerization Potential(Reaction withTriethylamine)13 18Practice CWater Compatibility19 251.2 These practices are applicable to waste liquids,sludges,semi-solids,and solids.1.3 These practices are designed and intended as a prelimi-nary or supplementary test to complement the more sophisti-cated quantitative analytical techniques that should be used todetermine waste composition and compatibilities.This stan-dard offers the user the option and the ability to screen wastesfor potentially hazardous reactions when the more sophisti-cated techniques are not available and the total waste compo-sition is unknown,and to screen compatibility when thecomposition is known.(WarningDelayed or slow reactionsof wastes may go unnoticed.)1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4.1 ExceptionThe values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specific hazard and warning statements,see Sections 1.3,6.1,10,11.2.3,11.5.2,16,and 23.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD5681 Terminology for Waste and Waste ManagementE1 Specification for ASTM Liquid-in-Glass ThermometersE200 Practice for Preparation,Standardization,and Storageof Standard and Reagent Solutions for Chemical Analysis3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this screen-ing practice,refer to Terminology D5681.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 screeningapreliminaryqualitativeorsemi-quantitative test,developed from classical qualitative andquantitative techniques,that is designed to efficiently give theuser specific information about a waste that will aid indetermining waste identification,process compatibility,andsafety in handling.4.Summary of Practices4.1 Practice ARepresentative samples of waste are addedto each other.The generation of heat or violent reaction isnoted.In addition,the production of mists,fumes,dusts,gases,layering,polymerization,precipitation,emulsification or in-crease in viscosity,and other chemical or physical changes arenoted.4.2 Practice BReactivity of wastes is determined byadding an aliquot of a sample to an equal volume of reagentand observing any characteristic reaction,such as temperatureincrease,gas evolution,gelling,or polymerization.4.3 Practice CWater and the waste are mixed in anapproximate 10+1 ratio to test for compatibility.A thermom-eter is used to measure heat generation when applicable.Qualitative solubility and relative apparent density are ob-served concurrently.1These practices are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.05 onScreening Methods.Current edition approved Feb.1,2020.Published February 2020.Originallyapproved in 1990.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as D5058 12.DOI:10.1520/D5058-12R20.2For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.5.Purity of Reagents5.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent-grade chemicals shall beused in all tests.Unless otherwise indicated,it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee
