COAL
• Coal is an important primary solid fossil fuel
• It is a black or brown colour sedimentary rock which can be
used as afuel.
• It is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which
contain energy that can be released through combustion
(burning).
• The process of conversion of vegetable matter to anthracite is
called coalification or metamorphism of coal

VOLATILE MATTER:
After the analysis of moisture content the crusible with residual coal
sample is covered with a lid and it is heated at 950+_20◦C for 7 minutes
in a muffle furnance. The loss in the weight of the sample is found out.
%of volatile matter in coal = loss in weight of the coal X100
weight of the moisture free coal
• ASH CONTENT:
After the analysis of volatile matter the crusible with residual
coal sample is heated without a lid at 700+_50 C for ½ an hour
in a muffle furnance. The loss in weight of the sample is found
out.
%of ash content in coal = weight of ash formed X 100
weight of dried coal
• FIXED CARBON:
It is determined by subtracting the sum total of moisture,
volatile matter and ash contents from 100.
%of fixed carbon in coal = 100 - % of (moisture content +
volatile matter + ash content )
SIGNIFICANCE OF PROXIMATE
ANALYSIS
• Moisture content reduces the calorific value and increases the
transport cost.
• Higher the % of volatile matter reduces the calorific value and
it burns with a long flame with high smokes.
• Higher the % of ash reduces the calorific value and ash causes
hindrance to heat flow as well as producers clinkers which
blocks the supply of air.
• Higher the percentage of carbon greater is the calorific value.
ULTIMATE ANALYSIS
NITROGEN
• This is done by using kjeldahl’s method. A known amount of
powered coal is heated with conc. H2SO4 in the presence of
K2SO4 as catalyst
• OXYGEN:
% of oxygen in coal = 100 - % of (C + H + N + S + Ash)
AMMONIA
• Water is sprayed
• Ammonia is converted to NH4OH
NAPTHALENE
• Cooled water is sprayed
• Napthalene gets condensed
BENZENE
• Petroleum is sprayed
• Benzene gets condensed to liquid
