The new, high-capacity, two-stage, molecular beam sampling system is described in detail and pumping performance data are given. The system can handle the gas load of a 0.020 in. diameter orifice with 1-atm air. The results of tests of burner configuration for ability to stabilize lean flames are presented. With unsieved Pittsburgh Seam coal and a 6.3 cm diameter burner, a lower limit of about 130 mg/liter was encountered. Brief note is made of relevant work on alkali release and behavior in coal combustion, currently in progress in other laboratories.
