    The document summarizes the proximate analysis method to determine the composition of coal. It involves heating coal samples at different time and temperature intervals to measure the percentage of moisture, volatile matter, ash content, and fixed carbon. Moisture content is measured by heating at 105-110°C for 1 hour. Volatile matter is determined by heating at 925°C for 7 minutes. Ash content is measured by heating the residue left at 750±50°C for half an hour. Fixed carbon is calculated as 100% minus the percentages of moisture, volatile matter, and ash. The analysis provides important information about the fuel properties and their effects on combustion parameters and plant design.
