About This Item
ASTM D8155 is the ASTM standard for shake extraction of solid mining and metallurgical processing waste with water. It describes a practical approach for contacting solid waste materials with water and separating the extracted liquid for evaluation. This matters because water extraction can help characterize what may be released from these wastes under controlled conditions, supporting testing, reporting, and informed handling decisions in mining and metallurgical operations.
ASTM D8155 standard overview
The Standard Practice for Shake Extraction of Solid Mining and Metallurgical Processing Waste with Water provides a common technical framework for preparing and processing solid waste samples for water-based extraction. ASTM D8155 is focused on a controlled shake extraction practice, which helps improve consistency when evaluating the water-extractable portion of a material. As a practice standard, it is useful for laboratories and technical teams that need a repeatable method aligned with a defined ASTM standard.
Where is ASTM D8155 used?
This standard is commonly used in laboratory and environmental testing settings involving solid wastes from mining and metallurgical processing. It may support sample handling and extraction workflows where water exposure is part of the evaluation method. The standard is most relevant when organizations need a consistent procedure for processing solid waste samples and obtaining extract solutions for follow-up analysis, comparison, or compliance-related assessment within these sectors.
Practical importance of ASTM D8155
In practice, ASTM D8155 helps support consistency in extraction testing, which is important for reliable comparison of results across different samples or laboratories. Using a recognized ASTM standard can improve confidence in procurement, quality control, and technical review activities tied to solid mining and metallurgical processing waste. It may also reduce uncertainty by providing a clear, repeatable method for water extraction, supporting better documentation and risk-informed decision-making.
