Abstract

The study of coal-fire emissions and phases nucleated in association with coal-fire gas are of interest to the scientific community. A synopsis of coal-fire sampling techniques is presented, utilizing data collected by the Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, and other organizations. Short-term (in-situ) measurements and analyses of mercury, CO, CO2, gas-emission velocities, minerals, tars, temperatures, and volatile organic compounds are compared, and long-term sampling techniques for measuring temperatures and CO emissions are discussed. Technologies evolved during the sampling periods, and some technologies appear to be more accurate than others.
