BS ISO 19579:2006

This standard BS ISO 19579:2006 Solid mineral fuels. Determination of sulfur by IR spectrometry is classified in these ICS categories:

• 75.160.10 Solid fuels
• 73.040 Coals

This International Standard specifies an alternative method of determining the total sulfur content of hard coal, brown coal, and lignite by high-temperature combustion and infrared (IR) absorption using commercially available instruments.

This method has been shown to be applicable to coal samples having an ash yield of less than 40 %.
