What is ISO 15237 - Solid mineral fuels — Determination of total mercury content of coal about?  

ISO 15237 specifies a procedure for the determination of the total mercury content of coal. 

Who is ISO 15237 - Solid mineral fuels — Determination of total mercury content of coal? 

ISO 15237 on Solid mineral fuels — Determination of total mercury content of coal is useful for: 

• Solid mineral fuels industry 
• Testing houses and laboratories 

Why should you use ISO 15237 - Solid mineral fuels — Determination of total mercury content of coal? 

Mercury occurs naturally in coal. It is an element that can be released during the combustion process. 

The determination of the total mercury content of coal cannot be accomplished satisfactorily by traditional ashing and digestion procedures because of the volatility of the element. 

Adherence to the procedure set out in ISO 15237 helps achieve quantitive recovery. 

Compliance with ISO 15237 lets you determine the total mercury content of coal wiusing prescribed method with precision and accuracy. 

Note: Instrumental methods for a more rapid determination of total mercury content are available. If such a method is to be used, it is important to demonstrate that the method is free from bias, when compared with this reference method and will give levels of repeatability and reproducibility which are the same, or better than, those quoted for the reference method.
