Low temperature ashing techniques are widely used to determine mineral matter content and in the analysis of the composition of the inorganic matter in coal and coal products. This Paper presents a new technique which makes it possible to ash coals in 4 (low-rank coals) to w8 (high-rank coals) h per
Sticking test results indicate that high-temperature melts containing iron sulphide (pyrrhotite) spread well over an oxidized mild steel surface and the adhesion forces are comparatively high even at low metal temperatures. This sulphide phase originates in the coal as pyrite. Alkalis substituted in
Coal ash and silicate samples are completely resolved by dissolution in nitric and hydrofluoric acids. Boron is retained during a volume-reduction step while most of the silicon is volatilized. Excess of fluoride is complexed by addition of aluminium chloride solution. After dilution, the sample sol
