2. THE PROXIMATE ANALYSIS OF COAL means
of determining the distribution of products
obtained when the coal sample is heated under
specified conditions.
proximate analysis separates the products into four
groups:
(1) Moisture
(2) Volatile matter
(3) Fixed carbon
(4) Ash
6. • Weigh the crussible and lid
• Input 1 g sample into the crussible, then cover. weigh and heat
slowly until the temperature of 400-500C for 1 hour. Then
increase the temperature to 200-250 to 1 hour
• Remove the cup from the furnace. cooled in a desiccator and
weigh
Calculation Results :
% Ash = (A/B) x 100%
Note ;
A = Ash content
B = sample content
7. Using gloves to hold the coal
Using a mask to protect the nose of coal dust
Always use safety shoe to decrease bad risk to
our foot
And generally safety alike many industry
