The authors analyse pressed coal pellets using the IRSAC CF LIBS Method. Results are obtained for a reference Coal (SARM 20) and a local Thar Coal.
Element Detection Limit (ppm) Wavelength (nm) Other Wavelengths (nm) Calibration Method Calibration Range (ppm) Notes


Element RMSE (ppm) Wavelength (nm) Calibration Method Notes
Li 0.2800 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 9ppm (that is, CF LIBS value significantly higher than actual value, but may give useful upper limit)
Na 0.6700 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.2%
Ba 0.1800 ppm -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.37ppm
Mn 0.8700 ppm -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.08ppm
Sr 0.0400 ppm -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.33ppm
K 1.2100 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.11%
Ti 0.3300 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.37%
Mg 0.2100 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 0.25%
Al 1.2100 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 5.96%
Ca 0.0050 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. No difference to reference value [1.34%] found to resolution available, hence RMSEP is maximum estimate.
Si 2.7500 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 8.25%
C 3.2600 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis. Reference Value: 82.46%, so % error is comparatively small.
Fe 0.2000 % -10.0000 CF-LIBS Comparison of CF-LIBS (IRSAC Method) to Certified values for pressed pellet analysis.
