    Total Solid Content Convection Oven Procedure

    Uploaded by

    ash
    This document describes procedures for determining total solids content and extracting samples using a convection oven and Soxhlet method. It involves drying samples at 105°C ± 3°C overnight to achieve constant weight, then weighing the dried samples. For extraction, the Soxhlet apparatus is assembled with a thimble containing 2-10g of sample not exceeding the siphon height, and extraction is performed. Oven dry weight of the sample is calculated using the average total solids content determined by a standard method.

    Convection Oven Procedure

    8.1 This method involves drying a sample at 105°C ± 3°C in a convection oven. Each sample must be run
    in replicate (duplicates, at minimum).

    8.2 Accurately weigh a pre dried aluminum foil weighing dish to the nearest 0.1 mg. Record this weight.
    8.3 Thoroughly mix the sample and then weigh out 1 to 5 grams, to the nearest 0.1 mg, into the
    weighing dish. Record the weight of the sample plus weighing dish.

    8.4 Place the sample into a convection oven at 105°C ± 3°C and dry to constant weight (±0.1% change in
    the amount of moisture present upon one hour of reheating). Typically overnight drying is required for
    very wet samples.

    8.5 Remove the sample from the oven and place in a desiccator; cool to room temperature.

    8.6 Weigh the dish containing the oven-dried sample to the nearest 0.1 mg and record this weigh

    Extract the sample- Soxhlet method only

    Prepare the apparatus for extraction.

    10.2.1 Dry boiling flasks and other relevant glassware (bump traps and automatic evaporator glassware
    if desired) in a 105 + 5 °C drying oven for a minimum of 12 hours. Remove the glassware and allow it to
    come to room temperature in a desiccator. Add boiling stones (or stir bars if using heating mantles with
    stirring capacity) to the flasks, label clearly, and record the oven dry weight (ODW) to the nearest 0.1
    mg. If significant foaming is expected during water extractions, the ODW of the bump traps may also be
    recorded.

    10.2.2 Add 2-10 g of sample to a tared extraction thimble. Record the weight to the nearest 0.1 mg. The
    amount of sample necessary will depend on the bulk density of the biomass. The height of the biomass
    in the thimble must not exceed the height of the Soxhlet siphon tube. If the biomass height does exceed
    the siphon height, incomplete extraction will occur. Label the top edge of the thimble with a pencil.
    10.2.3 Assemble the Soxhlet apparatus. Add a 250 mL bump trap between the receiving flask and the
    Soxhlet tube to control foaming if necessary. Insert the thimble into the Soxhlet tube
    Calculate the oven dry weight (ODW) of the sample, using the average total solids content as
    determined by the LAP “Standard Method for the Determination of Total Solids in Biomass”
