Title: Advanced characterization of forms of chlorine, organic sulfur, and selected trace elements in available coals from operating Illinois mines
Description: The goals of this study were (1) to use x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) to examine forms of Cl and organic sulfur in as-shipped coals from Illinois mines, (2) to obtain basic data on Cl removed via froth flotation of the coals ground to fine and ultrafine particle sizes and (3) to evaluate the XANES method for direct assessment of the organic and iroganic affinities of trace elements in Illinois coals.
Subjects: Coal, Desulphurization, Desulfurization
