Overall classification of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and particularities of their analysis, methods of representative sampling, separation methods for fractionation of carbohydrate samples.
Analysis of solid fuels: methods classification, sample preparation prior to analysis itself, determination of moisture, ash content, volatile matter, ultimate analysis (C, H, N, S, O), methods of inorganic constituents analysis (elemental composition, mineral phases analysis, speciation analysis), physical and textural coal properties (density, porosity, specific surface area etc.), thermal-physical characteristics, caking and mechanical properties, petrographic analysis and coal rank, coal extraction and analysis, utilization of spectrographic methods in solid fuels analysis, classification and assessment of solid fuels quality.
Analysis of liquid and gaseous fuels: group analysis, methods of physical-chemical characteristics determination (boiling point, flash and fire point, pour point, melting and softening point, density, viscosity, calorific value, surface tension, mechanical, oxidation and thermal stabilities, etc.), water and ash content, determination of average molecular weight, acidity, octane rating, cetane number, iodine value, aniline point, refractive index, analytical utilization of chromatographic methods, spectrographic analysis – infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-VIS spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis etc., classification and assessment of liquid and gaseous fuels quality.
