Abstract: | A method is presented for the determination of 15 trace and minor elements (Fe, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Sr, Rb, Ba, Zr, Y, Nb) in whole coal, by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. A Rhanode X-ray tube is used and matrix corrections are derived from the intensity of the rhodium Kα Compton scattered tube line. The calibration is based on synthetic coals made from mixtures of standard rocks with graphite and cellulose, emulating the range of compositions likely to be encountered in bituminous coals. Robust pellets are made from 9 g of coal blended with a powdered binder. Results are presented for a number of standard coals. |
