Background Document for the Liquid Release Test: Single Laboratory Evaluation and 1988 Collaborative Study.

摘要

The liquid release test (LRT) is a laboratory test method designed to determine whether or not liquid will be released from sorbents when they are subjected to a vertical load, as would be experienced by materials buried in a landfill. The LRT is an attribute test rather than a continuous variable measurement test. Thus, the result is either a release detected (sample fails the test) or no release detected (sample passes the test). The report describes the single-laboratory evaluation and the collaborative study conducted in 1988 to evaluate performance of the LRT Draft Protocol, and provides an assessment of the method based on the results of these tests.
