Analytical Methods for Coal and Coal Products

Volume II

About this book

Analytical Methods for Coal and Coal Products, Volume II, aims to provide a detailed presentation of what constitutes the first comprehensive reference work devoted exclusively to the subject of analytical methodology for coal and coal products. The various chapters have been arranged according to either a specific coal process or a specific coal use problem. The topics discussed include the structure of coal and coal products, minerals in coal, coal carbonization products, and coal combustion products. The general philosophy of this work is to strike a balance between sophisticated analyses based on expensive instrumentation such as mass or nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, and the more common, less expensive equipment typically employed in the standard methods. Likewise there is an attempt to strike a balance between the expertise available from within the United States and that found in other countries, offering a broader viewpoint. Altogether, a large number of cross references have been entered in these chapters to enable the reader to make maximum use of pertinent information in all of the chapters.

Analysis of the Organic Substance of Coals: Problems Posed by the Presence of Mineral Matter

P.H. Given and Richard F. Yarzab, FUEL SCIENCE SECTION THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA

Publisher Summary

Coal may be defined as an organic rock composed of an assembly of macerals, minerals, and inorganic elements held molecularly by the organic matter. This chapter discusses the reactivity of coal mineral matter, information required for a dry mineral-matter-free (dmmf) analysis, and optimum and approximate procedures for computing dmmf analyses. The chapter discusses methods of determining oxygen directly. The oxygen is present in coals in various functional groups that play important roles in the chemistry and geochemistry of the fuel. Thus, part of the oxygen is phenolic. The chapter also discusses the participation by mineral matter in reactions of the organic substance of coals to alert users of hazards that may be anticipated, and to indicate how the hazards may be avoided or eliminated.
