Rare analysis of the organic components (C, H) of coal pellets. Analysis work is undertaken in Air, He and Ar environments, with a rare study of the variation of temperature and Electron density with sample undertaken. In general, lowest RSD occurred in Ar. Detection of N from coal was also attempted, but was not discernible in He or Ar.
