9、ermined by weighing the residue remaining after burning the coal or coke under rigidly controlled conditions ofsample weight, temperature, time, atmosphere, and equipment specifications.4. Significance and Use4.1 Ash, as determined by this test method, is the residue remaining after burning the coal

10、 and coke. Ash obtained differs incomposition from the inorganic constituents present in the original coal. Incineration causes an expulsion of all water, the loss ofcarbon dioxide from carbonates, the conversion of iron pyrites into ferric oxide, and other chemical reactions. Ash, as determinedby t

11、his test method, will differ in amount from ash produced in furnace operations and other firing systems because incinerationconditions influence the chemistry and amount of the ash.

16、atus5.1 Electric Muffle Furnace for Coal or CokeFor determination of ash of coal, the furnace shall have an adequate aircirculation and be capable of having its temperature regulated at 700 to 750C. The furnace shall be equipped with a temperatureindicator and means of controlling the temperature wi

17、thin prescribed limits. Means shall be provided for maintaining air flow ata rate of two to four changes per minute (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Combustion gases shall be vented from laboratory. Inlet and outletports shall be located and arranged to distribute the air uniformly throughout the furnace ar

18、ea without the possibility of sweepingsolid particles from the capsules. The temperature over the entire working area of the furnace floor shall be maintained within thespecified temperature limits.5.2 Porcelain Capsules, about 22 mm (78 in.) in depth, and 44 mm (134 in.) in diameter, or similar sha

19、llow dishes or platinumcrucibles.5.3 Balance, sensitive to 0.1 mg.5.4 Crucible Cover, aluminum, porcelain, or similar covers.6. Temperature Calibration6.1 Place a preignited capsule with1gofsand at the center of the working area of the furnace, and by the use of a potentiometerand thermocouple or ot

20、her suitable temperature measuring device, measure the temperature of the sand in the crucible. The crucibleand sand should be at temperature equilibrium with the furnace. There should be two to four air changes per minute movingthroughout the furnace (the air flow may be measured by using a wet-tes

21、t meter or equivalent calibrated at standard conditions forair connected to the ceramic-pipe exhaust). Adjust the furnace temperature until the potentiometer reads 750 6 10C and thenadjust or read the temperature on the indicating pyrometer. Use this reading as the proper setting for controlling the

22、 furnace.7. Procedure7.1 The sample shall be the material pulverized to pass No. 60 (250-mm) sieve in accordance with Practice D2013 or PracticeD346.7.2 Transfer approximately 1 g (weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg) of the thoroughly mixed sample to a weighed capsule and coverquickly. An alternative way

23、 is to use the dried coal from the moisture determination in Test Method D3173. After removing the(Suggested method for inducing regulated air flow through ashing furnace.)FIG. 1 Air AspiratorD3174 112covers, place the capsule containing the sample in a cold furnace and heat gradually at such a rate

24、 that the temperature reaches450 to 500C in 1 h.7.3 Heat coal samples so that a final temperature of 700 to 750C is reached by the end of the second hour. Heat coke samplesso that a final temperature of 950C is reached by the end of the second hour. Continue to heat at the final temperature for addi

25、tional2 h (see Note 1). Remove the capsule from the muffle, place the cover on the capsule, cool under conditions to minimize moisturepickup, and weigh.NOTE 1While the 4-h incineration interval described is sufficient with most coals to reach a condition of complete burn off, certain cokes andnonrea

26、ctive coals may require additional time. If unburned carbon particles are observed, or if duplicate results are suspect, the samples should be returnedto the furnace for sufficient time to reach a constant weight (60.001 g). By this means, pyritic sulfur will be oxidized and expelled before the calc

27、ite isdecomposed. An ample supply of air in the muffle, “two to four changes per minute,” must be assured at all times to ensure complete oxidation of thepyritic sulfur and to remove the SO2formed. The 4-h time limit may be reduced if the sample reaches a constant weight at 700 to 750C in less than4

28、h.NOTE 2Some samples may be encountered that contain a high amount of carbonates (calcite) or pyrites or both. In such cases, sulfur retained assulfates may be both unduly high and nonuniform between duplicate samples. In such cases, sulfate sulfur in the ash can be determined in accordancewith Test

29、 Methods D1757 and the value properly corrected. If such is done, the ash value should be reported and designated both as determined andcorrected.8.
