Existing formulae relating mineral matter to ash yield of coal, which assume that all the mineral matter is separate from the coal, do not apply to low rank coal because part of the mineral matter is bound in the coal substance. A mineral matter/ash formula is derived for low rank coal that allows t

A new method is described for determining the mineral-matter content of coals, based on low-temperature ashing in an oxygen plasma. Unwanted side-reactions can occur during ashing, particularly oxidation of pyrite to haematite and fixation of organic sulphur as sulphate. These effects cannot be tota
A method of measuring the density of bed-moist brown coals based on their plastic properties is described and the feasibility of using the method for determination of the ash yield of the coal is evaluated.
Oxygen was determined accurately in eight U.S. Bureau of Mines coal ash samples A, B, D, F, G, I, and J, NBS coal fly ash 1633 reference material, and two low-temperature ashes (LTA) from Illinois State Geological Survey. The method uses fast-neutron activation (FNA) analysis employing a dual counti
If coal is heated to 9OO"C, in the absence of air the organic coal substance and the associated mineral matter are decomposed. The analytically determined volatile-matter yield includes the volatile decomposition products of both the coal substance and the minerals. The correlation between mineral m
