AbstractThe intensity of Compton scattering, Fe, and Ca chatacteristic radiation can be used to estimate the amount of ash in coal by Xray fluorescence spectroscopy. Mo, W, and Cr radiation were used to study a suite of New Mexico coals, and the best results were obtained with Mo and W X-ray tubes. If the actual concentrations of Fe2O3 and CaO and the mass absorption coefficient, μ*, at the Compton wavelength of scattered Mo K radiation can be determined, the regression equation:%Ash - 24.2μ* - 6.28(%Fe2O3) - 1.96(%CaO) - 3.4estimates the ash content with an average error of 0.5% ash at 0.71Å.

A recent surge of interest in sulfur in the environment has revealed the need for improved methods of analysis for sulfate, SO4=, in rain, freshwater and sediment interstitial fluids. Ion chromatography permits the rapid determination of SO4= in the ppm range (1 ppm = 1 mgL'1 = 10 μmol L-1 sulfate) on relatively small samples with good specificity. If a suitable instrument is available, this technique is a good choice for many environmental analyses. Other approaches to sulfate analysis are based on its precipitation with organic or heavy metal cations, usually barium or lead. The amount of precipitate formed may be determined by inter alia gravimetry, turbidimetry, radiometry (using 133-Ba), atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Ba or Pb detection), potentiometry (using a Pb++ ion selective electrode) , colorimetry, or by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (Ba, Pb or S detection)(1). Because of our experience with x-ray fluorescence analyses, we chose to develop and test a procedure using that technique.
