1 Scope

This standard specifies the method for determination of total fluorine in coal by oxygen bomb combustion-ion selective electrode method.

This standard is applicable to determination of total fluorine in coal containing 25% ash or less.

3 Summary of Test Method

Total fluorine is determined in this test method by combusting a weighed coal sample in an oxygen bomb with a dilute base absorbing the fluorine vapors. The bomb is rinsed into a beaker with water to mix with the absorption solution and following the addition of a citrate buffer, the total fluorine is determined by fluoride ion selective electrode.
