Abstract: Thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA) are widely applied for studies of coal conversion as a function of process parameters. However, weight change of fuel samples as a function of temperature is not always sufficient for detailed identification of volatilized or reacted species. Coupling TGA with various gas analyzers could provide useful additional information for understanding mechanisms of trace element release and reaction kinetics.
