Determination of Selected Elements in Coal Ash from Eight Argonne Premium Coal Samples by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Atomic Emission Spectrometry

By Michael W. Doughten

Table 5. Trace-element concentrations (in micrograms per gram, µg/g) in coal ash from eight Argonne Premium Coal samples.

[Cd and Pb were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, Co and Li were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, and all other element concentrations were detemined by inductively coupled argon plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. --, no data]
