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 counting and irradiation system which is essentially free from interferences. The stoichiometric balance based on analyses of the ashes performed by the USBM is calculated and summations given in oxide and element percent. Excellent agreement is found with the chemical data obtained by classical silicate analysis methods. Accurate oxygen determination for coal ash and i-T-ash (or mineral matter) is important for calculation of data in the ultimate analysis of coal as such. Knowledge is required for recalculation of the data on a dry and dry-ash-free basis. The routinely used 'oxygen by difference' values are inadequate for accurate work. In order to determine the organic oxygen in coal one also has to correct for oxygen in mineral matter and oxygen in the water removed as moisture.

## Abstract China has rich reserves of Shenmu coal, which has the typical characteristic of low‐melting‐point ash. If used in the pulverized‐coal boiler of a power plant, Shenmu coal would cause serious slagging. In order to solve the slagging problem of Shenmu coal, the melting mechanism of Shenmu
Lytle"", X-ray absorption tine structure spectroscopy was used to investigate the molecular structure of calcium in ash and deposit samples generated in combustion tests on a Texas lignite and an Illinois No. 6 coal. The tests were carried out in a 50 lb/m-' coal combustion facility. For samples ext
## Abstract The marked improvement in workplace safety levels in the past few decades has resulted in companies experiencing fewer safety accidents than before, thus making it less effective to argue that money spent on workplace safety and on injury prevention will yield much bottom‐line benefit.
