Most of the coal burned in the United States contains only trace amounts of chloride and fluoride. However, due to the increasing regulation of these compounds for clean air initiatives, being able to measure even small amounts of chloride and fluoride in coal has taken on a greater importance than ever. Recognizing this, ASTM International Committee D05 on Coal and Coke has begun to develop a…
