Handbook of Coal Analysis by James Speight, Wiley. This reference book deals with the various aspects of coal analysis and provides a detailed explanation of the necessary standard tests and procedures that are applicable to coal in order to help define coal behavior relative to usage and environmental issues. The first items that the book covers after nomenclature and terminology are related to sampling, accuracy of analysis, and precision of analysis. These important aspects are necessary to provide reproducibility and repeat ability of the analytical data derived from the various test methods. The book then goes on to provide coverage of the analysis of coal by various test methods, as well as the application and interpretation of the data to provide the reader with an understanding the quality and performance of coal. A glossary of terms that will be useful to the reader is also included. Each term is defined in a language that will convey the meaning to the reader in a clear and understandable way.
