Summary of Test Methods3.1 In Method A, carbon, hy

10、drogen and nitrogen in coal aredetermined concurrently in a single instrumental procedureusing a furnace operating at temperatures in the range of 900C to 1050C. The quantitative conversion of the carbon,hydrogen and nitrogen into their corresponding gases (CO2,H2O, and NOx) occurs during combustion

11、 of the sample at anelevated temperature in an atmosphere of oxygen. Combustionproducts which can interfere with the subsequent gas analysisare removed. Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are reduced to N2before detection. The carbon dioxide, water vapor and elemen-tal nitrogen in the gas stream are determine

12、d by appropriateinstrumental detection procedures.3.2 In Method B, carbon in coal and coke is determined bycombusting the sample in a 1350C furnace. The H2Ointhecombustion gases is removed and CO2is determined byinfrared absorption.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D05

Significance and Use4.1 Carbon and hydrogen values can be used to determinethe amount of oxygen (air) required in combustion processesand for calculation of

16、the efficiency of combustion processes.4.2 Carbon and hydrogen determinations can be used incalculations including material balance, reactivity and yields ofproducts relevant to coal conversion processes such as gasifi-cation and liquefaction.4.3 Carbon and nitrogen values can be used in materialbal

17、ance calculations employed for emission accounting pur-poses.NOTE 2The bulk composition of coal changes at a rate that variesfrom coal to coal during storage. As a result using coal for calibration canyield incorrect estimates of carbon, and hydrogen content in particular.5. Apparatus5.1 Analytical

18、Instrument for CHN Analysis (MethodA)An instrument capable of analyzing a test portion of 6 mgor greater. It includes a furnace capable of maintaining atemperature (900C to 1050C) in the range to ensure quanti-tative recovery of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen in coal astheir corresponding gases (CO2,

19、H2O, and NOx). The combus-tion gases or a representative aliquot shall be treated to remove,separate out or convert any components that can interfere withthe measurement of carbon dioxide, water vapour or nitrogen.The detection system shall include provisions for evaluatingthe response in a manner t

20、hat correlates accurately with thecarbon dioxide, water vapour and nitrogen present in thetreated combustion gases.5.2 Analytical Instrumentation for Carbon in Coal andCoke Analysis (Method B)An instrument with a furnacecapable of maintaining a temperature of at least 1350C at alltimes during the an

21、alysis. The high temperature helps ensurethe quantitative recovery of carbon from cokes. The infraredabsorption detection system shall include provisions for evalu-ating the response in a manner that correlates accurately withthe carbon dioxide present in the dry combustion gases. Followthe manufact

22、urers recommendations for sample mass (typi-cally 50 mg to 300 mg).5.3 BalanceA stand-alone balance or a balance integratedwith the instrument, with a resolution of at least 0.1 % relativeof the test portion mass.6. Reagents6.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unl

23、ess otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.4Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently

24、 high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.6.2 Carrier Gas, as specified for the instrument by themanufacturer.6.3 Oxygen, as specified for the instrument by the manufac-turer.6.4 Additional Reagents, of types and qualities as specifiedfor the instrument by the

25、 manufacturer.6.5 Calibration MaterialsCalibration materials shall beaccompanied by a certificate of analysis stating the purity ofthe material. If the certificate of analysis does not provideassigned values for carbon, hydrogen or nitrogen use the purityas stated on the certificate to establish car

26、bon, hydrogen andnitrogen from the theoretical values. Store these pure sub-stances in a desiccator under conditions that maintain thecompounds in a dry state.6.6 Reference MaterialsCertified reference material(CRM) coal(s) prepared by a recognized authority to monitorchanges in instrument response

27、that can be affected by con-stituents not present in the calibration materials (Note 3) and toverify the acceptability of nitrogen results. Coal(s) traceable toa certified reference material (CRM) coal(s) can also be used.Follow instructions on the reference material certificate withrespect to stora

28、ge of the reference material and use of assignedvalues. Use only those carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen valuesthat have an assigned uncertainty or are traceable to a valuewith an assigned uncertainty.NOTE 3Coal contains mineral constituents as well as acid gas formingconstituents that can affect the pe

29、rformance of chemicals used to ensurethe consistent and uniform conversion and recovery of carbon, hydrogenand nitrogen.NOTE 4The amount of nitrogen in the majority of coal employed forpower production purposes is in the range of 0.5 % to 1.8 % . None of thecalibrants yields percent nitrogen values

30、within the ranges expected forcoal. For this reason reference material (RM) coal is used to check theacceptability of nitrogen results.7. Preparation of Analysis Sample7.1 The sample shall be the analysis sample prepared to atop size of less than 250 m (60 mesh). Coal samples shall beprepared in acc

31、ordance with Practice D2013. Coke samplesshall be prepared in accordance with Practice D346/D346M.8.
