European Standards: — EN 932, Tests for general properties of aggregates — EN 933, Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates — EN 1097, Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates — EN 1367, Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates The other parts of EN 1744, Tests for chemical properties of aggregates, are: — Part 1: Chemical analysis — Part 3: Preparation of eluates by leaching of aggregates — Part 4: Determination of water susceptibility of fillers for bituminous mixtures — Part 5: Determination of acid soluble chloride salts — Part 6: Determination of the influence of recycled aggregate extract on the initial setting time of cement — Part 7: Determination of loss of ignition of Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (MIBA Aggregate) According

Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom BS EN 1744-8:2012 EN 1744-8:2012 (E) Scope This European Standard specifies a simple method for the examination of Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA) Aggregates for the purpose of estimating the relative proportions of metallic constituents This European Standard describes the reference methods used for type testing and, in case of dispute, for estimating the relative proportions of aluminium or other metallic constituents of MIBA Aggregates For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established NOTE MIBA Aggregates can also contain agglomerates which only contain a portion of metal A supplementary method for preparation of a test portion containing agglomerated particles, using crushing and sieving, is given in Annex A (normative) Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application For dated references, only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies EN 932-1, Test for general properties of aggregates — Part 1: Methods for sampling EN 932-2, Test for general properties of aggregates — Part 2: Methods for reducing laboratory samples EN 932-5, Test for general properties of aggregates — Part 5: Common equipment and calibration EN 933-1, Test for geometrical properties of aggregates — Part 1: Determination of particle size distribution — Sieving method EN 933-2, Test for geometrical properties of aggregates — Part 2: Determination of particle size distribution — Test sieves, nominal size of apertures Terms and definitions For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 laboratory sample sample intended for laboratory testing 3.2 subsample sample obtained by means of a sample reduction procedure 3.3 constant mass mass determined by successive weighings performed at least h apart and not differing by more than 0,1 % Note to entry: In many cases, constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a predetermined period in a specified oven at (110 ± 5) °C Test laboratories can determine the time required to BS EN 1744-8:2012 EN 1744-8:2012 (E) achieve constant mass for specific types and sizes of sample dependent upon the drying capacity of the oven used 3.4 MIBA Aggregate aggregate produced by processing Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash 3.5 particle size fraction (di/Di) fraction of an aggregate passing the larger (Di) of two sieves and retained on the smaller sieve (di) Principle The test consists of sorting particles from a subsample of the coarse part of MIBA Aggregates by hand to separate out metallic particles The metallic particles are then separated into ferrous (magnetic) and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) particles using a magnet The proportion by mass of each of these constituents is determined and expressed as a percentage of the mass of the subsample NOTE For the purpose of this standard, ferrous particles are to be understood as particles attracted by the hand held magnet and non-ferrous particles are metallic non-ferrous particles NOTE Aluminium/alloy particles in coarse aggregates mixtures might react and cause change in volume When it is not possible to separate the metallic fraction from the agglomerate particles, those agglomerates should be handled as metallic particles Apparatus Unless otherwise stated, all apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5 5.1 Test sieves, 63 mm, 31,5 mm, 16 mm and mm size conforming to EN 933-2 An mm size test sieve is also required if the supplementary test portion preparation method in Annex A (normative) is used 5.2 Tightly fitting pan and lid, for the sieves 5.3 Ventilated oven, thermostatically controlled to maintain a temperature of (110 ± 5) °C 5.4 Balance, accurate to ± 0,1 % of the mass of the test portion 5.5 Trays, or other suitable containers 5.6 Hand held magnet, with a mass in the range of 300 g to 600 g and with a pull strength of at least 60 kg 5.7 Brushes, for cleaning the sieves and the sieved particles 5.8 Sieving machine, (optional) 5.9 Laboratory crusher, if the supplementary test portion preparation method in Annex A (normative) is used BS EN 1744-8:2012 EN 1744-8:2012 (E) Preparation of subsample Bulk samples shall be taken in accordance with EN 932-1 and reduced in accordance with EN 932-2 to produce a laboratory sample with a minimum mass as given in Table Table — Minimum mass of laboratory sample Upper aggregate size, D, mm Minimum laboratory sample mass, kg Coarse aggregate All-in aggregate 63 50 75 31,5 or less 20 30 Dry the laboratory sample at (110 ± 5) °C to constant mass Weigh and record the dry mass as M0 Sieve the sample on the 63 mm and mm sieves, using the EN 933-1 dry sieving method Agitate with sufficient vigour to ensure complete separation of particles bigger than mm Weigh and record the mass of particles retained on the 63 mm sieve as M63 and then discard them Weigh and record the mass of the particles passing the mm sieve as M4, and then discard them Record the mass of the remaining subsample as M1 7.1 Procedure Further reduction of the subsample If necessary, further reduce the size of the remaining subsample to give at least 000 particles in accordance with EN 932-2 Table gives guidance on the minimum mass required Table — Guidance on the mass of at least 000 particles Upper aggregate size, D, mm Minimum subsample mass, kg 63 50 31,5 10 20 16 14 0,5 NOTE The actual mass required to give 000 particles depends upon the particle size distribution and particle density of the aggregate Experience will allow test laboratories to estimate the mass required for aggregates that are tested routinely If a reduced 4/63 mm size subsample is used, weigh and record the mass of the remaining subsample as M2 BS EN 1744-8:2012 EN 1744-8:2012 (E) 7.2 Separating into size fractions Sieve the 4/63 mm size subsample into the three size fractions in Table using the dry sieving procedure of EN 933-1 Table — Size fractions for initially separation, mm 4/16 16/32 32/63 Place each size fraction in a separate tray NOTE Sieving into size fractions makes sorting easier NOTE For some aggregates, there may not be any particles in the larger size fractions NOTE If necessary, the supplementary test portion preparation method in Annex A (normative) can be used after this initial separation stage 7.3 Separating metallic particles Spread the particles in the 32/63 mm size fraction onto a clean, flat surface and separate the metallic particles by hand If necessary, use a small brush to clean finer particles from the metal pieces NOTE Particles can also be washed with a minimum amount of water to aid separation of the finer particles If water is used, the particles need to be dried to constant mass again before weighing When it is not possible to separate the metallic fraction from the agglomerate particles, those agglomerates should be handled as metallic particles Use the magnet to further separate the metallic particles into ferrous (magnetic) and non-ferrous (nonmagnetic) particles Place them in separate marked trays (MF1 and MNF1) Repeat this procedure with the 16/32 mm size fraction (MF2 and MNF2) and then with the 4/16 mm size fraction (MF3 and MNF3) 7.4 Weight of metallic particles Weigh the mass of the ferrous particles of each fraction (MF1, MF2 and MF3) Sum the values and record the total mass as MF Weigh the mass of the non-ferrous particles of each fraction (MNF1, MNF2 and MNF3) Sum the values and record the total mass as MNF Calculation and expression of results Calculate the percentage by mass of each metallic constituent as follows: NF M M × F × M M = F PN 100 100 PF = (1) (2) BS EN 1744-8:2012 EN 1744-8:2012 (E) where PF is the percentage by mass of ferrous particles; PNF is the percentage by mass of non-ferrous particles; MF is the mass of ferrous particles; MNF is the mass of non-ferrous particles; M1 is the mass of remaining subsample as defined in Clause If a reduced 4/63 mm size subsample is used, use the value of M2 instead of M1 Round the result to the nearest 0,1 % 9.1 Test report Required data The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this European Standard; b) identification of the laboratory; c) identification of the sample; d) masses; subsample M1, reduced subsample M2 (if used), laboratory sample M0, Mass of particles retained on 63 mm sieve M63 and Mass of particles passing

preparing the particle size fractions using crushing and sieving A.1 General This annex describes an additional procedure that can be used after the initial separation into size fractions (7.2) to aid the removal of metallic particles from a subsample containing agglomerated particles A.2 A.2.1 Procedure 32/63 mm size fraction Take the 32/63 mm size fraction prepared using the procedure in 7.2 Carry out an initial separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metallic particles using the procedure in 7.3 Weigh the remaining particles (M32/63) Use the laboratory crusher to reduce the size of the remaining particles in the 32/63 mm size fraction so that at least 85 % of the particles pass the 32 mm size test sieve Separate the ferrous and non-ferrous metallic particles retained on the 32 mm size test sieve using the procedure in 7.3 A.2.2 16/32 mm size fraction Add the crushed particles that pass the 32 mm size test sieve (A.2.1) to the uncrushed 16/32 mm size fraction prepared using the procedure in 7.2 Carry out an initial separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metallic particles using the procedure in 7.3 Weigh the remaining particles (M16/32) Use the laboratory crusher to reduce the size of the remaining particles in the 16/32 mm size fraction so that at least 85 % of the particles pass the 16 mm size test sieve Separate the ferrous and non-ferrous metallic particles retained on the 16 mm size test sieve using the procedure in 7.3 A.2.3 4/16 mm size fraction Add the crushed particles that pass the 16 mm size test sieve (A.2.2) to the uncrushed 4/16 mm size fraction prepared using the procedure in 7.2 Carry out an initial separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metallic particles using the procedure in 7.3 Weigh the remaining particles (M4/16) Use the laboratory crusher to reduce the size of the remaining particles in the 4/16 mm size fraction so that at least 85 % of the particles pass the mm size test sieve BS EN 1744-8:2012 EN 1744-8:2012 (E) Sieve the particles that pass the mm size test sieve on a mm size tests sieve Separate the ferrous and non-ferrous metallic particles retained on a mm size test sieve using the procedure in 7.3 A.3 Weight of metallic particles Weigh the total mass of the ferrous particles and record the total mass as MF Weigh the mass of the non-ferrous particles and record the total mass as MNF NOTE Because the particle size has been reduced by crushing, it is not possible to report the proportion of metallic particles in each size fraction A.4 Calculations and test report Carry out the calculations set out in Clause
