Measurement and Importance of Volatile Matter in Coals and Biofuels

What is it about?

Volatile matter values for solid fuels are used to assess their burning rates and thus provide a basis for the buying and selling of these fuels. The major factors that affect volatile matter yields are the type of fuel, moisture contents, and the heating rates used in the tests. This paper reports the results of experiments designed to improve the reliability and application of test methods for the determination of volatile matter in various solid fuels.
