The actual an

17、alytical process can vary frominstrument to instrument, but the overall process shall providefor the determination of moisture, volatile matter, and ash asspecified in 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.4.6 Different procedures are described to permit conformitywith differences in instrument design and for differenc

18、es insample behavior.4.7 Where a relative bias between these test methods andother ASTM test methods for the proximate analysis of coaland coke has been shown to exist (12.2.1), the instrument usedin these test methods must be calibrated using specimens ofknown composition covering the range of para

19、meters beingdetermined.5. Significance and Use5.1 Moisture, as determined by the instrumental testmethod, is used for calculating other analytical results to amoisture-free basis using procedures in Practice D 3180. Mois-ture percent determined by this test method may be used inconjunction with the

20、air-dry moisture loss determined inMethod D 2013 and Test Method D 3302 to determine totalmoisture in coal. Total moisture is used for calculating otheranalytical results to an as-received basis using Practice D 3180.5.2 Ash yield, as determined by this test method, is theresidue remaining after bur

21、ning the coal and coke samples.5.3 Volatile matter yield, when determined as herein de-scribed, may be used to (1) establish the rank of coals, (2)indicate coke yield on carbonization, (3) provide the basis forpurchasing and selling, or (4) establish burning characteristics.5.4 Fixed carbon is a cal

22、culated value. It is the differencebetween 100 and the sum of the percent moisture, ash, andvolatile matter. All percents shall be on the moisture referencebase.5.5 Moisture, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon percentsconstitute the proximate analysis of coal and coke.NOTE 1The ash obtained diff

23、ers in composition and amount from themineral constituents present in the original coal. Incineration causes anexpulsion of all water, the loss of carbon dioxide from carbonates, theconversion of iron pyrite into iron oxides and sulfur oxides, and otherchemical reactions. Ash yield, as determined by

24、 this test method, candiffer from the amount of ash produced in furnace operations or othercombustion systems because incineration conditions influence the chem-istry and amount of ash.6. Apparatus6.1 Furnace or OvenThe primary apparatus shall consistof a furnace or oven with a cavity large enough t

25、o acceptcrucibles containing the specimens. The furnace or oven shallbe constructed so the cavity is surrounded by a suitablerefactory and insulated so as to develop a uniform temperaturein all parts of the cavity but with a minimum free space. Thefurnace shall be capable of being heated rapidly at

26、a rate of50C/min from ambient to 950C.6.1.1 The temperatures within the cavity shall be monitoredand maintained at values that are specific to each of thedeterminations. Temperatures, as measured in crucibles locatedthroughout the cavity shall be maintained within the followinglimits:Temperature, CD

Gases and acceptable flow rates for thedifferent determinations

28、are as follows:Determination of GasFlow Rate, FurnaceVolume per MinuteMoisture nitrogen or air 24Ash oxygen 0.40.8Aair 24Volatile matter nitrogen 24AThis oxygen flow is chemically equivalent to 2 to 4 volume changes of air perminute.6.2 Crucibles, with covers, of a convenient form that allowsthe moi

29、sture and volatile matter, or moisture and ash, or allthree determinations to be made on the same specimen, shall beused. The crucibles may be made of fused silica with self-sealing covers that have ground glass seals or of porcelain withself-sealing covers. The covers shall allow the rapid escape o

30、fgases during the determination of volatile matter. All cruciblesused shall have the dimensions specified by the instrumentmanufacturer.6.3 Balance, sensitive to 0.1 mg. The balance may be aninternal balance and an integral part of the instrument used fordetermining the moisture, volatile matter, an

31、d ash, or it may bea separate piece of apparatus that may not be interfaced withthe instrument.6.4 The instrumental system in its entirety shall be operatedin strict accordance with the manufacturers operating instruc-tions.6.5 Venting EquipmentCombustion and volatile gasesevolved during the test pr

32、ocedures shall be vented from thelaboratory and suitable venting equipment shall be installed inthe vicinity of the apparatus.7. Analysis Sample7.1 Obtain the sample for coal in accordance with MethodD 2013 and the sample for coke in accordance with PracticeD 346. Obtain the analysis sample by pulve

33、rizing the materialto a fineness to pass the 250-m (No. 60) sieve.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Dry GasNitrogen (99.5 % purity) or air, dried to amoisture content of 1.9 mg/L or less (dew point 10C or less)to be used to purge the drying oven. Any desiccant or dryingmethod capable of achieving this de

34、gree of dryness is suitable.(See Reagent section of Test Method D 3173.)9. Procedure9.1 Some instruments allow for the determination of mois-ture, volatile matter, and ash in sequence using the samespecimen. Alternatively, some instruments, or components ofthe instruments, may be used to carry out s

35、eparate determina-tions of moisture, volatile matter, or ash using separatespecimens of coal or coke.D51420429.2 Heat new crucibles and covers (see 9.2.1) for use inthese test methods under the conditions of the test and coolbefore use. For each test, weigh a prepared crucible (Note 2).Add approxima

36、tely1gofcoal or coke to the crucible and thenweigh the crucible and specimen. Make all weighings to thenearest 0.1 mg. Transfer the specimen from the sample bottleto the crucible quickly to minimize the exposure of thespecimen to the atmosphere during the weighing process. Usecrucible covers to prot

37、ect the specimen before and after themoisture determination. Use crucible covers during the deter-mination of the volatile matter. Weigh the cover with thecrucible and specimen for this test.9.2.1 The cover shall fit closely enough so that the carbondeposit from bituminous, subbituminous, and lignit

38、ic coalsdoes not burn away from the under side of the cover.NOTE 2In microprocessor-controlled instruments, the specimenweights are recorded by the microprocessor and retained for furthercalculations. In instruments with internal balances, or with those inter-faced to a balance, these weights are au

39、tomatically recorded. For someinstruments without these features, the specimen weights may be enteredmanually into the microprocessor memory.9.3 Moisture Determination:9.3.1 For moisture determinations, heat the weighedsamples in crucibles without the covers in the drying oven at104 to 110C. Various

40、 modes of operation are possible depend-ing on the instrument used and the manner in which thedetermination is completed.9.3.2 Automated instruments with an internal balance thatcan weigh the specimen repeatedly during the determinationcan be programmed to terminate the test when the specimensand cr

41、ucibles have reached a constant weight. Typically,crucibles are weighed automatically at 3-min intervals, and theanalysis is complete when two successive weighings agreewithin the plateau deviation specified for the instrument. Usenitrogen with a purity 99.5 % and a moisture content of 1.9mg/L or le

42、ss (dew point of 10C or less) as the drying gas inthe oven (see 8.1). Some models of this type of instrument alsoallow for moisture determination by heating the specimen for1 h at the prescribed temperature limits.9.3.3 For moisture determinations using instruments that donot have an internal balanc

43、e, weigh the specimens and placethe specimens and crucibles without covers, in the preheatedoven (104 to 110C) through which passes a current ofpreheated air. Dry the preheated air to a moisture content of 1.9mg/L or less (dew point 10C or less). Close the oven quicklyand heat for 1 h. Then remove t

44、he specimen crucibles, coverquickly, allow to cool to ambient temperature in a desiccator,and weigh as soon as possible.9.3.3.1 Air with a moisture content of 1.9 mg/L or less (dewpoint 10C or less) may be substituted for nitrogen in themoisture and ash analysis, but nitrogen shall always be used in

45、the volatile matter determination.9.4 Volatile Matter Determination:9.4.1 Volatile matter determinations may be made using thespecimens from the moisture determinations. An alternativemethod is to weigh 1 g (to the nearest 0.1 mg) of analysissample in a preweighed crucible with self-sealing cover. P

46、lacethe crucibles in the furnace which is heated at a rate of50C/min to 950 6 20C and hold at this temperature for 7 min(see 9.2.1 and Note 3). The furnace shall have an inertatmosphere, preferably nitrogen. After cooling in a desiccator,weigh the crucibles with the specimens and covers.9.4.2 For in

47、struments with an internal balance, the instru-ment automatically weighs the crucibles, specimens, andself-sealing covers at the beginning of the analysis. Theinstrument will then make weighings at regular intervals whilethe temperature of the furnace is raised at a rate of 50C/min to950 6 20C and h

48、eld for 7 min. The instrument uses theweight of the specimen at the end of the 7-min period in thecalculation of the volatile matter.9.4.3 For instruments without an internal balance, weigh thecrucibles, specimens, and covers and then place them in thefurnace. Raise the temperature of the furnace at

49、 a rate of50C/min to 950 6 20C and hold for 7 min. Then remove thecrucibles from the furnace, without disturbing the covers, andallow to cool to ambient temperature in a desiccator. Weigh thecrucibles and covers as soon as possible.NOTE 3Warning: With some strongly caking low-volatile andmedium-volatile bituminous coals, the coke button may explode as aresult of the rapid liberation of volatile matter within the button. This isusually designated as popping. Such popping may blow the lid off thecrucible and cause mechanical losses of the coked material. Wh
