Abstract
The review provides an overview and description of the results obtained from our coal studies conducted over the past two decades. It places specific emphasis on crucial parameters, including the ash content and calorific value of lignite, which is the main energy source in Mongolia. Through the research, we observed that the ash content of coal can be estimated by analyzing the concentrations of key chemical elements, including Ca, Fe, and Sr. The results of ash content obtained from the x‐ray fluorescence analysis are consistent with the outcomes of chemical analysis. Furthermore, we established an inverse linear correlation between the calorific value of coal and its ash content. Building upon this correlation, we have proposed a method that allows for the direct determination of coal calorific value without relying on calorimetric measurements.
期刊介绍:
X-Ray Spectrometry is devoted to the rapid publication of papers dealing with the theory and application of x-ray spectrometry using electron, x-ray photon, proton, γ and γ-x sources.
Covering advances in techniques, methods and equipment, this established journal provides the ideal platform for the discussion of more sophisticated X-ray analytical methods.
Both wavelength and energy dispersion systems are covered together with a range of data handling methods, from the most simple to very sophisticated software programs. Papers dealing with the application of x-ray spectrometric methods for structural analysis are also featured as well as applications papers covering a wide range of areas such as environmental analysis and monitoring, art and archaelogical studies, mineralogy, forensics, geology, surface science and materials analysis, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
