Instrumental neutron activation analysis and inductively coupled argon plasma emission were evaluated for their applicability for the multi-element analysis of coal, slag and fly ash from the University of Tennessee Space Institute's MHD pilot plant. Both techniques were successfully used in the analysis and the agreement between the results was excellent. The solubilisation procedure developed for the ICAP analysis was capable of dissolving totally any of the MHD coal, slag and fly ash samples. There is still a problem with the loss of volatile elements and silicon when this technique is used.
