11、 Study toDetermine the Precision of a Test Method3. Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, refer toTerminology D121.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Ash is determined by weighing the residue remainingafter burning the coal or coke under rigidly controlled condi-tions of sample

12、 weight, temperature, time, atmosphere, andequipment specifications.5. Significance and Use5.1 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 in theoriginal coal. Incineration

13、causes an expulsion of all water, theloss of carbon dioxide from carbonates, the conversion of ironpyrites into ferric oxide, and other chemical reactions.

Apparatus6.1 Electric Muffle Furnace for Coal or CokeFor deter-mination of ash of coal and coke, the furnace shall have anadequate air circulation and be capable of having its tempera-ture regulated at 500C, 750C, and 950C. The furna

18、ce shallbe equipped with a temperature indicator and means ofcontrolling the temperature within prescribed limits. Meansshall be provided for maintaining air flow at a rate of two tofour changes per minute (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Combustiongases shall be vented from laboratory. Inlet and outlet por

The temperature over theentire working area of the furnace floor shall be maintainedwithin the specified temperature limits.6.2 Porcelain C

Temperature Calibration7.1 Place a preignited capsule with1gofsand at the centerof the

21、 working area of the furnace, and by the use of apotentiometer and thermocouple or other suitable temperaturemeasuring device, measure the temperature of the sand in thecrucible. The crucible and sand should be at temperatureequilibrium with the furnace. There should be two to four airchanges per mi

23、ndicating pyrometer. Use this reading asthe proper setting for controlling the furnace.8. Procedure8.1 The sample shall be the material pulverized to pass No.60 (250-mm) sieve in accordance with Practice D2013 orPractice D346.8.2 Transfer approximately 1 g (weighed to the nearest 0.1mg) of the thoro

An alternative way is to use the dried coal fromthe moisture determination in Test Method D3173. Afterremoving the covers, place the capsul

25、e containing the samplein a cold furnace and heat gradually at such a rate that thetemperature reaches 500 6 10C at the end of 1 h.8.3 For coals continue heating the sample until the tempera-ture rises from 500 6 10C to 750 6 15C at the end of 1 hour.For cokes continue heating the sample until the t

26、emperaturerises from 500 6 10C to 950 6 20C at the end of 1 hour.Continue to heat at the final temperature (750C or 950C) foran additional 2 h. Remove the capsule from the muffle furnace,place the cover on the capsule, cool under conditions tominimize moisture pickup, and weigh.8.4 The two-stage ash

27、ing procedure allows pyritic sulfur tobe oxidized and expelled before most metal carbonates aredecomposed. An ample supply of air in the muffle furnace,“two to four volume changes per minute,” must be assured atall times to ensure complete oxidation of the pyritic sulfur andto remove the SO2formed.8

28、.5 While the 4-h incineration interval described is suffi-cient with most coals to reach a condition of complete burn off,certain cokes and nonreactive coals may require additionaltime. If unburned carbon particles are observed, or if duplicateresults are suspect, the samples should be returned to t

29、hefurnace for sufficient time to reach a constant weight (60.001g). The 4-h time limit may be reduced if the sample reaches aconstant weight at 750C to 950C in less than 4 h.8.6 Some samples may be encountered that contain a highamount of carbonates (calcite) or pyrites or both. In such cases,sulfur

In such cases, sulfatesulfur in the ash can be determined in accordance with TestMethod D5016 and the value properly corrected.
