Summary of Test Method3.1 Ash is determined by weighing the residue remainingafter burning the coal or coke under rigidly

9、 controlled condi-tions of sample weight, temperature, time, atmosphere, andequipment specifications.4. Significance and Use4.1 Ash, as determined by this test method, is the residueremaining after burning the coal and coke. Ash obtained differsin composition from the inorganic constituents present

10、in theoriginal coal. Incineration causes an expulsion of all water, theloss of carbon dioxide from carbonates, the conversion of ironpyrites into ferric oxide, and other chemical reactions. Ash, asdetermined by this test method, will differ in amount from ashproduced in furnace operations and other

11、firing systems be-cause incineration conditions influence the chemistry andamount of the ash. References for correcting ash resultsdetermined by this test method to a mineral-matter-free basisare listed in Classification D 388, Section 8.5.

An alternative way is to use the dried coa

Afterremoving the covers, place the capsule containing the samplein a cold furnace and heat gradually at such a rate that thetemperature reaches 450 to 500C in 1 h.7.3 Heat coal samples so that a final temperature of 700 to750C is reached by th

Remove the capsule fromthe muffle, place the cover on the capsule, cool under condi-tions to minimize mo

If unburned carbonparticles are observed, or if duplicate results are suspect, the samp
