A new ASTM International standard provides an effective way to determine the different forms of sulfur in coal. This test method helps separate coal-associated sulfur into two common forms: pyritic and sulfate. Results from the test method are used to evaluate coal preparation and process operations that help reduce coal sulfur levels. According to ASTM member Colin Campbell, consultant at CCI…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Krista Robbins, tel +1.610.832.9689; krobbins@astm.org Release #10698
