Coal Analysis

Creative BioMart Chromatography provides coal analysis services that offer professional technical support for enterprises to determine the composition and rank of coal. Coal is the most abundant and widely distributed fossil fuel on the earth. Based on its properties, coal can be classified by rank, from lowest to highest, into the categories of lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous and anthracite. In commercial terms, it is quality, not quantity, that most determine the value of a coal deposit. These specific properties determines the coal’s performance from mining, to preparation, to end use, and determines the true value of the coal deposit. Therefore, we use a variety of standard methods for coal analysis, in accordance with ASTM, ISO, BS, and other recognized chemical industry standards and regulatory protocols. Our solutions include but are not limited to ion chromatography (IC), ICP-OES, ICP-MS, Combustion IC, GC, GC-MS, FT-IR, FAAS, etc.

Coal Classification by Rank

Type Calorific Value Moisture Content Fixed Carbon Content Volatile Matter
Lignite <4,600 kcal/kg 30-75% No limit No limit
Sub-bituminous 4,600-6,400 kcal/kg 10-30% No limit No limit
Bituminous 5,800-8,300 kcal/kg 1-10% <86% (dry basis) >14% (dry basis)
Anthracite No specific limit <5% >86% (dry basis) <14% (dry basis)
