Conclusions -
All
parameters were well below the limits required by the test, showing
that the Xextex sorbent material does not contribute to pollution of
the environment.
Residual Ash and Heating Value - Samples of the X-TEX sorbent material were tested to determine the residue and the heating value. The ash was determined to 0.65% by ASTM method D482 and the heating value was determined to be 7600 BTU/lb by ASTM method D240.
