Description

The effective atomic number Z dependence of the ratio R of the intensity of elastically and inelastically scattered X-ray has been employed in the determination of the ASH contents of some coal samples from Hungary, Poland and Russia. The results obtained by this method compared favorably with those obtained by the combustion method. This fast, simple and nondestructive method can therefore be used for on-line quality control of coal produced in a mine. (author). 4 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs
