COAL ANALYSIS
2. ULTIMATE ANALYSIS
- a breakdown of the fuels into its elemental components
throuugh an analysis of the products that remain after the complete
combustion of a small sample.
PROPERTIES OF COAL BASED ON PROXIMATE ANALYSIS
SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED FOR FIRING
QUALITIES ARE:
1. MOISTURE
- two samples are weighed and placed in the shallow crucibles in
a 104.4 °C oven for one hour. then remove the desiccator for cooling
and reweighing.
2. VOLATILE MATTER
- two samples are placed in deep crucibles with lids and
weighed. These are inserted in a 955°C oven for exactly 7 min, then
removed and cooled.
3. ASH
- the remaining two samples are heated in a 760°C oven
for 2 hours, then removed, cooled in a dessicator, and reweighed. The
process should be repeated, as with the moisture samples, until
constant weight is obtained.
ASH AND REFUSE ANALYSIS
- used to determine the “dry refuse per kg coal burned.”
- no more laboratory equipment is needed than than for the
approximate analysis. Samples of ground refuse are given the same
processing as described heretoforefor moisture and ash in the
proximate analysis coal.
