Illite clay samples were obtained from the Illinois State Geological Survey and are being purified for use as mineral reference standards in the x-ray diffraction work. Copper and lead were determined in the A- and B-series coals, and several trace element determinations were repeated on the A-, B- and K-series coals to check earlier questionable results. Progress has been made in developing procedures to stabilize selenium and mercury in solution. However, recent problems with the graphite furnace/atomic absorption system have temporarily delayed the determination of these elements in the coal samples.
