16、 Terminologyair-dried moisturemoisturethis term has been used inappropriately to refer to both residual moisture and air-dry loss.Because of the potential for confusion, this term shall not be used.airdrying, na process of partial drying of coal to bring its moisture near to equilibrium with the at

17、mosphere in the room in whichfurther reduction and division of the sample will take place. D2013; D2234/D2234Mair-dry loss, n in coal, the loss in mass, expressed as a percentage, resulting from each air-drying stage or the sum of allsequential air-drying stages in which the results from each stage

18、are adjusted to the as-received basis.DISCUSSIONAir-dry loss is neither a standard state nor a characteriseticcharacteristic property of a coal. Air drying only removes water that can evaporate at ornear ambient laboratory conditions, leaving in the coal some fraction of the inherent moisture that i

19、s more tightly bound in the pores (residual moisture).Different laboratory environments or different drying temperatures or both will result in significant differences in air-dry loss and residual moisture.D3302agglomerating, adjas applied to coal, the property of softening when it is heated to abov

20、e about 400C400 C in a nonoxidizingatmosphere, and then appearing as a coherent mass after cooling to room temperature.alginiteSee alginite under maceral.analysis sampleSee analysis sample under sample.angle of repose, nthe greatest angle, measured from horizontal, attained by a coal so that materia

21、l on the sides ofor top of theinverted cone or trench created in car top sampling remains stable, that is, will not shift or slide. Coal size and moisture contentare contributing factors to this angle. In all cases, the coal shall be dug so that the physical angle is less than the angle of repose.an

28、on of reactive (vitrinite and liptinite) and semi-inert (semifusinite) coal maceralsof metallurgical bituminous coals. During thermoplasticity, the inert coal maceral and mineral are partly or wholly incorporated into the binder phase.Also, most of the coke pores are located in the binder phase. D50

30、omsize shall be thatsieve of the series given in the Standard Series of Sieves section with the largest openings through which passes a total of lessthan 15 % of the sample. This defined bottomsize is not to be confused with the size of the smallest particles in the lot.DISCUSSION(WarningIn the case

31、 of a commercial, double-screened product, for example, 37.5 by 9.5 mm (112 by 38 in.), this designation may not be valid.In such commercial or contractual situations, the amount of allowable material smaller than the bottomsize (for example, 9.5 mm) must be specifiedby the contract under which the

32、coal is bought and solid.) D4749briquette, na cylindrical block composed of granulated coal or coke particles compressed and embedded with an epoxy binder.by-product cokeSee by-product coke under coke.C test, na standard statistical test for homogeneity of variance.calorific value, nthe heat of comb

33、ustion of a unit quantity of a substance.DISCUSSIONIt is expressed in ASTM test methods in British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Calorific value can also be expressed in calories per gram (cal/g)or in the International System of Units, joules per gram (J/g), when required. D5865calorimeter, n as

34、 used in Test Method D5865, the bomb and its contents, the calorimeter vessel with stirrer, the water in whichthe bomb is immersed, and the portions of the thermometer and the ignition leads within the calorimeter vessel. D5865calorimeter jacket, nthe insulating medium surrounding the calorimeter.ca

35、nnel coalSee cannel coal under coal.carbonate carbon, nthe carbon content present in the solid products derived from the combustion or reaction of coal, coalby-products, or coke as carbonates and which is noncombustible in standard industry practice. D6316carbon form, n as used in Test Method D5061,

36、 microscopically distinguishable carbonaceous textural components of coke, butexcluding mineral carbonates.DISCUSSIONCarbon forms are recognized on the basis of their reflectance, anisotropy, and morphology. They are derived from the organic portion of coal and canbe anisotropic or isotropic. D5061c

37、aves or washouts, nzones of increased hole diameter caused by rock fragments that fall from the walls of a borehole and canblock the hole or contaminate the cuttings and which erode or abrade the sidewall of the borehole by the action of the drilling.These zones can affect the accuracy of certain ge

38、ophysical logs (especially density). Corrections to other geophysical logs canbe made if a caliper log is available. The most common causes of caves or washouts include soft or fractured lithologies, thepresence of water-producing zones, and the downhole pressure of the drilling medium (fluid or air

39、) that often causes differentialerosion of various strata within the borehole.chance error, nerror that has equal probability of being positive or negative. The mean of the chance errors resulting from aseries of observations tends toward zero as the number of observations approaches infinity.D121 1

40、53circular anisotropic phase, nas used in Test Method D5061, a group of binder-phase anisotropic carbon textures that aredistinguished by approximately circular domains (that is length equals width) and composed of fine circular (0.5-(0.5 to 1.0-m),1.0 m), medium circular (1.0-(1.0 to 1.5-m), 1.5 m)

41、 and coarse circular (1.5-(1.5 to 2.0-m) 2.0 m) size categories. D5061cleat, nthe joint system of coal seams, usually oriented normal or nearly normal to the bedding.DISCUSSIONCleat is most commonly found in bituminous coal, being most prominently developed in vitrain bands and bright layers. Some

42、cleat, especially themore widely separated joints, extend through all or a large part of the seam. Cleat surfaces are commonly coated with minerals such as calcite, kaolinite,and pyrite.coal, na brown to black combustible sedimentary rock (in the geological sense) composed principally of consolidate

43、d andchemically altered plant remains.DISCUSSIONConditions required for formation of coal are believed to include accumulation of plant remains and their partial decomposition under moist conditions,followed by sedimentary burial and subjection to increased pressure and temperature according to the

44、geological history of the seam. Coals exhibita wide range of properties as a result of differences in the kinds and relative amounts of different plant materials and intermixed mineral matter, theamount of alteration of the plant remains achieved before burial, and especially the degree of physical

45、and chemical alteration after burial. SeeClassification D388 for classification of coal in accordance with its degree of alteration or rank. The moisture content and the kind, amount, and modeof occurrence of mineral matter also vary greatly.lithotype,n any of the constituents of banded coal: vitrai

46、n, fusain, clarain, durain, or attrital coal or a specific mixture of twoor more of these.banded coal,ncoal that is visibly heterogeneous in composition, being composed of layers of vitrain and attrital coal, and,commonly, fusain.attrital coal,nthe ground mass or matrix of banded coal in which vitra

47、in and, commonly, fusain layers as well, are embeddedor enclosed.DISCUSSIONLayers in banded coal, often referred to as bands, are commonly 1 to 30 mm thick. Attrital coal in banded coal is highly varied in composition andappearance, its luster varying from a brilliance nearly equal to that of the as

48、sociated vitrain to nearly as dull as fusain; it exhibits striated, granulose,or rough texture. In a few cases, relatively thick layers of such attrital coal are found that contain no interbedded vitrain. Nonbanded coal also is attritalcoal but is not usually referred to as such. In contrast to the

49、coarser and more variable texture of attrital coal in banded coal, nonbanded coal is notablyuniform and fine in texture, being derived from size-sorted plant debris.The luster of attrital coal, which ranges from bright (but less than that of associated vitrain) to dull, is commonly used to describe and characterizeattrital coal.As an alternative, some petrographers subdivide attrital coal into clarain and durain. Clarain has bright luster and silky texture, being finelystriated parallel to the coal bedding. Du
