WhatsApp: +86 18203695377These are referred to as 'float and sink' tests. Coal has a density of around 1,300 kg m3, whereas mineral matter ( impurities present, 'ash') often have densities exceeding 2,000 kg m3 (2). It can therefore be inferred that a higher density coal sample will have a higher proportion of ash because ash is more dense than coal(3).
