Application and comparison of neutron activation analysis with other analytical methods for the analysis of coal
Creators

Description
An introduction to and description of the chemical methods used at the Illinois State Geological Survey to supply accurate and reliable data on the chemical composition of coal and coal-derived materials is given. Accuracy of the methods is demonstrated by examples of interlaboratory comparisons for many elements and by comparison of ISGS results with certified values and literature results from reference coal samples from the National Bureau of Standards. Trace element mobility during coal pyrolysis, methods of coal beneficiation, chemical forms of elements in coal, and use of elemental distribution patterns to help interpret the geochemistry of the Illinois Basin coal fields are among the topics investigated. Regional distribution of bromine is mapped and variations of elements discussed
