Jordan, J R

The metals content of coal ash is of considerable economic interest for managing power plant performance, environmental protection, and coal characterization research. The technique of inductively-coupled argon plasma (ICAP) atomic emission spectroscopy offers an improvement in metals analysis over atomic absorption (AA) and classical chemical methods. There are models of ICAP spectrometers that fit a wide variety of needs and budgets. As the use of ICAP in coal labs grows, it is certain that an ASTM standard for this improved technique will be approved.
