Solid mineral fuels — Determination of chlorine content
This document specifies two methods (high temperature combustion and high pressure vessel combustion) for the determination of chlorine in solid mineral fuels. It is applicable to solid mineral fuels. The chlorine in the absorption solution can be determined using different finishes, such as coulometric or potentiometric titration, spectrophotometry or ion chromatography. The method is applicable to determine the chlorine content higher than 0,005 % mass fraction.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

The sample is combusted in an oxygen atmosphere at high temperature. The gaseous combustion
products collected in a trap filled with water include dissolved chloride compounds.

solution. The combustion products collected in an absorption solution include dissolved chloride
compounds.

5.2.4 Absorption solution, either eluent used for ion chromatographic determination or alkaline
solution (e.g. 0,2 mol/l KOH or 0,1 mol/l NaOH) or deionised water (5.1.3).
6 Apparatus
6.1 Method A
An example for the equipment for high-temperature combustion is given below. This equipment is
suitable for manual determinations and is well established.
Automated systems with autosamplers can also be used if their main features comply with the manual
apparatus specified below, i.e. mainly temperature of the oven, the use of fused silica glass tubes, and
the absorption unit.
6.1.1 Fused silica combustion tube, absorber and headpiece (see Figure 1).
6.1.2 Porcelain combustion boat, with handle, e.g. 70 mm long, 10 mm wide, and 7 mm deep.
6.1.3 Silica pusher, with iron inlay (see Figure 2).
6.1.4 Magnet.
6.1.5 Electrical tube furnace, about 300 mm long, capable of being heated to preferably 1 300 °C and
maintained at the combustion temperature of (1 250 ± 25) °C.
