New Test Method for Determination of Total Organic Halide Content in Plastics using Combustion Ion Chromatography

1. Scope

This test method covers the determination of organic halides (above 1 µg/g) in plastics, mixed plastics, and waste plastics by combustion ion chromatography.

Keywords

Combustion Ion Chromatography, Waste Plastic, Waste Plastic Feed, Advanced Recycling, Chemical recycling

Rationale

As chemical recycling continues to mature, an industry method is required to assess the halide content on the waste plastic feeds. Halides pose a significant processing safety and environmental risks.

The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
