A Method for the Quantification of Chlorine in Low-Rank Solid Fuels

This study reports a method for quantifying total chlorine (Cl) in low-rank solid fuels such as biomass and brown coal. It is a two-step method that separates fuel Cl into Cl released in volatiles and that retained in char via slow pyrolysis at 500 °C. The Cl in volatiles is converted to gaseous chl...
