Application Potential of Advanced Instrumental Methods for on-Line Automated Composition Analysis of Solid/Liquid Fossil Energy Process Materials. Volume 2. Non-Nuclear Methods

摘要

A study has been conducted to identify and examine potential novel on-line techniques for analysis of condensed phase material in coal process streams and vessels for fossil energy applications. This portion of the study (Volume II) deals with the potential of techniques based on non-nuclear principles for sensor development for analytic applications. A companion volume deals with nuclear methods. The study has encompassed methods in use in basic and applied research, as well as methods in use in other industries including the basic metals industry, mining, well-logging for petroleum and other applications, and methods used for biomedical applications. Applicability to the fossil energy industry (primarily coal combustion and conversion applications) has been emphasized in the present study. The results are reported in the accompanying text in which non-nuclear techniques have been identified for their potential for use or for improvements in use for on-line sensors for the fossil energy industry. 583 references.
