Solid mineral fuels. Determination of sulfur by IR spectrometry. | Status: Under review, Current

1 Scope This International Standard specifies an alternative method of determining the total sulfur content of hard coal, brown coal, and lignite by high-temperature combustion and infrared (IR) absorption using commercially available instruments. This method has been shown to be applicable to coal samples having an ash yield of less than 40 %.
