8、ractice for Conducting an Interlaboratory 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 In thermogravimetric analysis, the mass of a sample ina controlled atmosphere is record

9、ed repeatedly as a function oftemperature or time, or both. In macro thermogravimetricanalysis, a sample size of approximately 1 g is used. All massmeasurements are conducted by the system. In a typicalanalysis, the temperature is normally ramped from ambient toa specific temperature and held at tha

10、t temperature for aprescribed length of time. The mass change is recordedrepeatedly during the entire procedure. For the thermogravi-metric analysis of coal and coke samples the moisture and ashanalyses are complete when the sample reaches a constantmass as defined in the instrumental operating para

11、meters.Alternatively, the measurement of moisture and ash can beconsidered complete after heating the sample for a fixed periodof time. In the volatile matter analysis, the samples are weighedafter heating to 950C and held at this temperature for 7 min.4.2 Moisture is determined by measuring the los

12、s in mass ofthe analysis specimen of coal or coke when heated underspecified conditions of temperature, time, atmosphere, speci-men mass, and equipment specifications.4.3 Volatile matter is determined by measuring the loss inmass of the analysis specimen of coal or coke when heatedunder rigidly cont

13、rolled conditions. The measured mass loss isused to calculate the volatile matter after correcting for themoisture content.4.4 Ash is determined by measuring the mass of the residueremaining after burning the coal or coke specimen under1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D0

16、d States1specified conditions of specimen mass, temperature, time,atmosphere, and equipment specifications.4.5 In these test methods, moisture, volatile matter, and ashcan be determined sequentially in a single instrumental proce-dure. Another procedure allows the moisture and ash to bedetermined se

17、quentially. Moisture and ash can also be deter-mined in separate determinations. Ruggedness testing and pastexperiences have shown the volatile matter values determinedon samples without first determining the moisture (drying thesample) are always higher than those of the dried samples.34.6 Good lab

18、oratory practice requires checking for biasesbetween analytical methods for contractual compliance. Whenonly a few coal types will be routinely tested, the instrumentused in these test methods must be shown to yield results, forthe coal(s) to be tested, that are equivalent to those obtainedusing Tes

19、t Methods D3173, D3174, and D3175. If they arefound to be not equivalent, either the instrument used iscalibrated or the instrumental results are adjusted to establishand maintain equivalence. Alternatively, when a broad spec-trum of coal types will be tested, the instrument used in thesetest method

20、s shall be calibrated using certified referencematerials of known composition covering the range of param-eters being determined. The certified values shall be estab-lished using Test Methods D3173, D3174, and D3175. Section16.2 lists a number of biases that have been shown to existbetween instrumen

21、tal results. Other biases, of unknown mag-nitude and sign, may exist for other coals.35. Significance and Use5.1 Moisture, as determined by this instrumental testmethod, is used for calculating other analytical results to a drybasis using procedures in Practice D3180.5.2 Moisture can be used in conj

22、unction with the air-drymoisture loss determined by Test Method D3302 to determinetotal moisture in coal. Total moisture is used for calculatingother analytical results to an as-received basis using PracticeD3180.5.3 Ash yield is the residue remaining after heating the coaland coke samples (see Note

23、 1).NOTE 1The ash obtained differs in composition and amount from themineral constituents present in the original coal. Combustion 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

24、. Ash yield, as determined by this test method, candiffer from the amount of ash produced in furnace operations or othercombustion systems because combustion conditions influence the chem-istry and amount of ash.5.4 Ash yield is used, (1) as a parameter for evaluatingsampling procedures and coal cle

25、aning processes, (2) in theultimate analysis calculation of oxygen by difference usingPractice D3176, (3) in calculations including material balance,reactivity and yields of products relevant to coal conversionprocesses such as gasification and liquefaction, (4) in calcula-tions to estimate the load

26、ing on electrostatic precipitators andon the fly ash and bottom ash disposal systems as well aserosion rates on boiler systems.5.5 Volatile matter yield, when determined as hereindescribed, may be used to (1) indicate coke yield oncarbonization, (2) provide the basis for purchasing and selling,or (3

27、) establish combustion characteristics.5.6 Fixed carbon is a calculated value. It is the differencebetween 100 and the sum of the percent moisture, ash, andvolatile matter. All percents shall be on the same moisturereference base.5.7 Moisture, ash, and volatile matter are three of theprincipal param

28、eters used for assessing the quality of coal.6. Interferences6.1 There are no known interferences for these test methods.7. Apparatus7.1 Macro Thermogravimetric Analyzer (Macro TGA)Acomputer controlled apparatus consisting of a furnace with acavity large enough to accept crucibles containing test sp

The macro TGA system can accommodate multiplecrucibles, allowing for continuous analysis with one cruciblereserved for the blank or reference crucible. The furnace isconstructed so the cavity is surrounded by a suitable refractoryand

30、insulated so as to develop a uniform temperature in allparts of the cavity, but with a minimum free space. The furnaceshall be capable of being heated rapidly (30-45C/min fromambient to 950C. The temperature shall be monitored andmaintained at values specified for each determination. Thesystem shall

39、 (No. 60) sieve in accordance with PracticeD2013 or Practice D346.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Verify the instrument can meet all specifications in thestandard with respect to gas flows, heating rates, and balancesensitivity prior to use. Condition the instrument after initialsetup, or repairs,

40、by conducting a run through a complete cyclewithout samples.11.2 Condition new crucibles and covers for use in these testmethods by heating under the same conditions of the test andcool before use.11.3 The macro TGA system can be programmed to termi-nate the measurement process when the test specime

41、ns andcrucibles have reached a constant mass. Crucibles are weighedby the instrument at specified intervals. The analysis iscomplete when the sample reaches constant mass. Constantmass is defined as a point where the mass change is or = to0.05% over a nine-minute period, either by using not less tha

42、nthree successive weighings or a fixed nine-minute period ofsuccessive weighings. This mass change of 0.05% is equivalentto 0.0005 g for a 1.0000 g sample. Alternately, the instrumentcan be programmed to allow for moisture and ash determina-tion by heating the test specimens for the time periods, he

Calibration and Standardization12.1 The instrument shall be calibrated for the determina-tion of volatile matter employing certified reference materi

44、als.The calibration shall be performed at the same furnace ramptemperature as that used for the analysis. Do not use coalreference material(s) for coke volatile matter calibration. Donot use coke reference material(s) for coal volatile mattercalibration. Use coal reference material(s) with a certifi

Procedure13.1 The determination of moisture, followed by volatilematter followed by ash can be carried out in sequence using thesame test specimen. Alternativ

46、ely, the determination ofmoisture, volatile matter, or ash can be carried out separatelyon test specimens of coal or coke.13.2 Sequential Determination of Moisture, Volatile Matterand Ash:13.2.1 After verifying instrument setup according to Section11 on the preparation of apparatus, load and tare th

47、e crucibles.Add approximately1gofcoal or coke to the crucible in thebalance position and weigh immediately before advancing thenext crucible. Transfer the test specimen from the sample bottleto the crucible quickly to minimize the exposure of the testspecimen to the atmosphere during the initial wei

48、ghing pro-cess.13.2.2 For moisture determinations, heat the weighed testspecimens in crucibles without the covers at 107 6 3 C. Usea drying gas flow rate of 0.4 to 1.4 furnace volume changes perminute (see 8.1). Program the instrument to terminate the testwhen the test specimens and crucibles have r

49、eached a constantmass (see 11.3). Alternatively, program the instrument to allowfor moisture determination by heating the test specimens for1h.13.2.3 For volatile matter determinations following themoisture analysis, place covers on the crucibles in the TGAcarousel (the covers are placed automatically in some systemsand manually in others). Program the instrument to reweigh thecrucibles, with specimens inside, and covers in place beforeinitiating the volatile matter part of the cycle.13.2.3.1 To provide an inert atmosphere, use nitrogen orargon with a flow rate of 0.7
