1 Milling Ash
Preparation of Ash
• Prepare the coal and coke passing 250μm sieve
• Ashing the sample in well-ventilated muffle furnace at
800-900℃ for 2.5 hours
• Use agate mortar to grind the sample to 75μm
• Spread the ash in a silica dish to ignite in steam of oxygen
in muffle furnace for 1.5 hours at 800-850 ℃
Note:
• Follow the steps to ensure complete and uniform oxidation of ash
• Iron mortar must not be used

Prepare Ash cone
1 Milling Ash
Preparation of Cone
• Moisten the ash with few drops of 10% solution of dextrin
• Press into cone mold with spatula to form the triangular
pyramids
• Drying sufficiently to permit handling without
deformation – Cones without complete dry will effect
the identification of deformation temperature

Test Procedure by Instrument
Calibrate Thermocouple
Temperature is the key coefficient in
the analysis, so thermocouple is the
key component.
