Scope

1.1 This test method pertains to the determination of total chlorine content in a coal sample.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are regarded as the standard. The values shown in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use

The purpose of this test method is to measure the total chlorine content of coal. The chlorine content of coals may be useful in the evaluation of slagging problems, corrosion in engineering processes, and in the total analysis of coal and coke. When coal specimens are combusted in accordance with this test method, the chlorine is quantitatively retained and is representative of the total chlorine content of the whole coal.
