Ultimate Analysis – Constituents of coal
Fossil Fuel Engineering – ERG 252 (1+1)
S.Vignesh – BTG-12-037
Introduction
 A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter
is converted into peat, which in turn is converted
into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, then
bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite. This
involves biological and geological processes that
take place over a long period of time. Heat and
pressure acts on it to finally convert into coal.
Ultimate Analysis
• Coal is composed primarily of carbon along
with variable quantities of other elements,
chiefly hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen.
• Ultimate analysis is also known as elemental
analysis, it is the method to determine the
Carbon,Hydrogen,Nitrogen,Sulphur and
Oxygen content present in solid fuel.
Need For Analysis
• It is essential to understand the properties of
biomass materials to evaluate their utility
• As chemical feedstock's and also design suitable
gasifies systems. The analysis is carried out to
find the oxygen required for combustion for
efficient production of energy.
• Two types-proximate and ultimate analysis
• Proximate-it determines moisture content,
volatile matter, ash and fixed carbon content of a
fuel. It is reported as dry weight.
Determination of carbon & hydrogen
• About 0.2g of accurately weighed coal is burnt
in oxygen in apparatus shown above.
• CCO2 & HH2O
• KOH & CaCl2 absorb CO2 & H2O respectively.
• Increase in weights of the tubes are noted.
% of C:
increase in weight of KOH tube*12*100
weight of the coal sample taken*44
% of H:
Increase in weight of CaCl2 tube*2*100
weight of coal sample taken*18
Determination of Nitrogen
• 1g of accurately weighed powdered coal is
heated with conc.H2SO4 in kjeldahl flask.
• It is treated with excess KOH.
• Liberated ammonia is distilled over and absorbed in
a known volume of standard solution of acid.
• Unused acid is determined by back titration with
standard NaOH.
% of N is
volume of acid used*normality*1.4
weight of coal sample taken
Determination of sulphur
• Sulphur is converted into sulphate.
• The washings are treated with BaCl.
• BaSO4 is precipitated.
• Precipitate is filtered, washed and heated to
constant weight.
• % of S
= weight of BaSO4 obtained*32*100
233*weight of coal sample taken
Determination of ash and oxygen
• Coal sample of accurate weight in a crucible is
heated in muffle furnace at 700+50 degree
Celsius for ½ an hour. Crucible is taken out and
cooled first in air and then in desiccators and
weighed.
• % of ash = weight of ash left*100
weight of coal taken
• % of oxygen is
100-percentage of (O+H+S+N+Ash)

Anthracite
Total carbon
• Fixed carbon+carbon present in volatile
matter
• High total carbon represents high calorific
value of the fuel.
Hydrogen
• It increases calorific value-H2 remains as coke
oven gas
• Associated with volatile matter of coal
• Peat to bituminous contains 4.5-6% H2
• Anthracite contains only 1-2%
Nitrogen
• Present up to 1-3%
• Comes from protein us matter in vegetable matter.
• Inert nitrogen decreases calorific value.
• As coal matures, extractable nitrogen decreases.
• Its proportion does not depend on rank.
• It varies from 1-2% in all.
Sulphur
• It increases calorific value but is undesirable.
• Its oxidization product in presence of moisture cause
corrosion of equipment and pollution.
• When used in steel making it badly affects properties
of iron and steel.
• Sulphur exists in 3 forms-pyritic, organic & sulphate
• World coal contains 1 to 3% sulphur.
Oxygen
• Less the oxygen-better is the coal.
• Decreases from lignite to anthracite.
• As oxygen content increases, moisture holding
capacity increases and caking power
decreases.
Phosphorus
• Undesirable in metallurgical as it badly affects
properties of metals.
• Indian coking coals have less than 0.15%
phosphorus.

Ultimate Analysis of Coal

  • 1. Ultimate Analysis – Constituents of coal Fossil Fuel Engineering – ERG 252 (1+1) S.Vignesh – BTG-12-037
  • 2. Introduction  A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter is converted into peat, which in turn is converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, then bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite. This involves biological and geological processes that take place over a long period of time. Heat and pressure acts on it to finally convert into coal.
  • 3. Ultimate Analysis • Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen. • Ultimate analysis is also known as elemental analysis, it is the method to determine the Carbon,Hydrogen,Nitrogen,Sulphur and Oxygen content present in solid fuel.
  • 4. Need For Analysis • It is essential to understand the properties of biomass materials to evaluate their utility • As chemical feedstock's and also design suitable gasifies systems. The analysis is carried out to find the oxygen required for combustion for efficient production of energy. • Two types-proximate and ultimate analysis • Proximate-it determines moisture content, volatile matter, ash and fixed carbon content of a fuel. It is reported as dry weight.
  • 5. Determination of carbon & hydrogen • About 0.2g of accurately weighed coal is burnt in oxygen in apparatus shown above. • CCO2 & HH2O • KOH & CaCl2 absorb CO2 & H2O respectively. • Increase in weights of the tubes are noted.
  • 6. % of C: increase in weight of KOH tube*12*100 weight of the coal sample taken*44 % of H: Increase in weight of CaCl2 tube*2*100 weight of coal sample taken*18
  • 7. Determination of Nitrogen • 1g of accurately weighed powdered coal is heated with conc.H2SO4 in kjeldahl flask. • It is treated with excess KOH.
  • 8. • Liberated ammonia is distilled over and absorbed in a known volume of standard solution of acid. • Unused acid is determined by back titration with standard NaOH. % of N is volume of acid used*normality*1.4 weight of coal sample taken
  • 9. Determination of sulphur • Sulphur is converted into sulphate. • The washings are treated with BaCl. • BaSO4 is precipitated. • Precipitate is filtered, washed and heated to constant weight. • % of S = weight of BaSO4 obtained*32*100 233*weight of coal sample taken
  • 10. Determination of ash and oxygen • Coal sample of accurate weight in a crucible is heated in muffle furnace at 700+50 degree Celsius for ½ an hour. Crucible is taken out and cooled first in air and then in desiccators and weighed. • % of ash = weight of ash left*100 weight of coal taken • % of oxygen is 100-percentage of (O+H+S+N+Ash)

  • 15. Total carbon • Fixed carbon+carbon present in volatile matter • High total carbon represents high calorific value of the fuel.
  • 16. Hydrogen • It increases calorific value-H2 remains as coke oven gas • Associated with volatile matter of coal • Peat to bituminous contains 4.5-6% H2 • Anthracite contains only 1-2%
  • 17. Nitrogen • Present up to 1-3% • Comes from protein us matter in vegetable matter. • Inert nitrogen decreases calorific value. • As coal matures, extractable nitrogen decreases. • Its proportion does not depend on rank. • It varies from 1-2% in all.
  • 18. Sulphur • It increases calorific value but is undesirable. • Its oxidization product in presence of moisture cause corrosion of equipment and pollution. • When used in steel making it badly affects properties of iron and steel. • Sulphur exists in 3 forms-pyritic, organic & sulphate • World coal contains 1 to 3% sulphur.
  • 19. Oxygen • Less the oxygen-better is the coal. • Decreases from lignite to anthracite. • As oxygen content increases, moisture holding capacity increases and caking power decreases.
  • 20. Phosphorus • Undesirable in metallurgical as it badly affects properties of metals. • Indian coking coals have less than 0.15% phosphorus.
