Abstract
The report gives results of complete chemical analyses of 101 whole coal samples and of 32 separate fractions of four laboratory prepared (washed) coals. Trace elements determined were: Sb, As, Be, B, Br, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, F, Ga, Ge, Pb, Mn, Mo, Ni, Hg, P, Se, Sn, V, Zn, and Zr. In addition, the following major and minor elements were determined: Al, Ca, Cl, Fe, Mg, K, Si, Na, S, and Ti. Standard coal analyses-proximate, ultimate, heating value, sulfur varieties, and ash--are also reported. Wherever possible, accuracy was evaluated by comparing results obtained by the various methods with results from splits of the same coal samples. Analytical procedures given in detail include: neutron activation, optical emission, atomic absorption, X-ray fluorescence, and ion-selective electrode. Certain techniques were chosen for determining specific elements because they are more accurate, their precision is superior, or they take less time for analysis. Further comparisons, based on analyzing whole coal and its low- and high-temperature ashes, permitted a thorough evaluation of trace-element losses resulting from volatilization during sample preparation.
