Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEq 1 was editorially corrected in November 2010.1. Scope1.1 This colorimetric test method
3、 describes the determina-tion of the relative degree of oxidation by alkali extraction ofcoals that are high volatile A bituminous to low volatilebituminous in rank.1.2 This test cannot be sensitive to thermally oxidized coal.It is intended for coals that may be oxidized as a result ofweathering.1.3
4、 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 The values sta

Terminology3.1 There are no terms in this standard that require new orother than di
6、ctionary definitions.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Humic acids, which are present in oxidized coals, areextracted from the coal with sodium hydroxide solution. Thedegree of oxidation is determined by colorimetrically measur-ing the transmittance of the alkali extract solution at 520 nm.The intensity
7、of the color produced by the humic acids is afunction of the degree of oxidation.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is a relative measure of the degree ofoxidation present in coal. It does not determine the quantitativeamount of oxidized coal present. It is only intended to serve asa guide
8、to the supplier, buyer, and user for selecting coals formetallurgical use.NOTE 1The values shown in Table 1 are based on the transmittanceobtained using the original procedure4(wavelength at 520 nm, 17-mmlight path, 2 to 3-min boiling time, dilution of the extract to 80 mL). Atthese conditions, coal
9、s that had transmittance values greater than 90 %were considered to be unoxidized, coals less than 80 % were consideredto be oxidized, and coals between 80 and 90 % were considered suspect.As this procedure becomes accepted as the standard and more experimen-tal data are gathered, modifications to t
10、hese cutoff values are expected.Note that lower rank bituminous coals are more easily extracted thanhigher rank coal.6.

Place a glass stirringrod into the beaker.9.5 Place beaker(s) onto a preheate

20、 manner such that the temperature of thesolution and not the temperature of the beaker resting on top ofthe hot plate is being measured.9.7 At the time the blank solution or test solution, or both,in the beakers reaches the temperature of 98C (208F), set thetimer for 3 min. Allow the solution to boi
