Ultimate analysis-measuring procedure

After dealing with the ultimate analysis-measuring procedure, the different elements and their usual impact and fete in gasification processes will be described. 

Potentiometry is the measurement of electrode potential in chemical analysis procedures for the purpose of obtaining qualitative and quantitative information about an analyte. The reference electrode is a half-cell that is designed such that its potential is a constant, making it useful as a reference point for potential measurements. Ground is the ultimate reference point in electronic measurements. 

Obviously this procedure involves a lengthy and complex follow-up to the original analysis. Furthermore it is important to note that although the analytical results are objective measurements, the appraisal of their effectiveness in describing the emission, ultimately relies on subjective comparisons of odour sensation. This final observation could be interpreted as a weakness in the method in having to resort to subjective odour comparisons. An alternative viewpoint however is that the most effective information can be derived by utilising a combination of olfactometric and physico-chemical techniques. 

Explain the following statement The validity of a chemical analysis ultimately depends on measuring the response of the analytical procedure to known standards. ... 

Moisture values are very important, due to the influence they have on other measured and calculated values used in coal analysis and, ultimately, to the part they play in the buying and selling of coal. The moisture values obtained from the various drying procedures are expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the... 

In the field of chemical measurements, the question as to which are the national measurement standards is far from being completely answered. There is no doubt, however, that primary reference materials, e.g. high-purity substances which are ultimately necessary as reference points, will play a role as national (or even better international) measurement standards. But these alone will not be sufficient. As the task of chemical analysis is usually the determination of chemical composition, national reference points closer to this task, namely standard reference mixtures, are also required, and if the preparation of these is not feasible, e.g. due to instability problems, devices and procedures furnishing well-known compositions with small uncertainties must also be included as national measurement standards. All these kinds of national references or standards are currently in use or under development. 

Procedure analysis can be used to examine the steps in a procedure or task. Procedure analysis requires the task to be broken down into individual steps. For each step, the hazards are identified and control measures for each hazard determined. Procedure analysis can be expanded to include the use of reliabilities for individual steps that can be ultimately used to determine over all reliability for completing the job task. This procedure can also be referred to as a Job Safety Analysis. The completed analyses are used to determine safe job procedures, the need for personal protection equipment, and the need for engineering controls. 

From an analytical point of view, the general lack of suitable CRMs is a standing problem for the effective development of analytical measurements, as it does not favour elemental analysis at the development, production and control level. To improve the accuracy and precision of the currently used analytical measmement protocols CRMs are an ideal tool. In the total validation procedure they fulfil an important role. The ultimate performance test for any calibrated analytical instrument is to analyse a CRM and obtain a result within the expected uncertainty range. Actually, if a matrix CRM is subjected to the whole analytical process then this serves to validate the entire procedure, thus saving much time and effort. More often than not, however, in R D no CRM is available at all and it is not possible to relate a property to an existing (inter)national standard. In...
