Instrumental neutron activation analysis in the measurement of trace element distribution at two coal conversion plants

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7128375
;
Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to study the elemental concentration in the complex materials produced by the H-Coal process and the low Btu gasification process at the University of Minnesota at Duluth (UMD). Trace element distribution in feed coal, ash, cyclone fines, and ESP tar were determined in the UMD gasifier. Trace element distribution in feed coal and vacuum bottoms were determined for the H-Coal liquefaction pilot plant. The results were compared. Elements measured were: Al, Sb, As, Ba, Br, Ca, Ce, Cs, Cl, Cr, Co, Eu, Ga, Hf, Fe, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, K, Rb, Sm, Sc, Se, Na, Ta, Th, Ti, W, U, V, Yb, and Zn. 11 references, 1 table (DMC)
