Abstract

In this study, the moisture, ash, volatile matter and fixed carbon contents of 24 lignite samples from different coal reserves in Turkey were determined by using TGA and results were compared with those obtained by the ASTM standards. The mean differences in moisture, ash, volatile matter and fixed carbon contents between the TGA and ASTM methods are 0.38%, 0.68%, 1.53% and 1.47%, respectively.
