    Proximate analysis of coal provides information of the moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon and total sulfur.

    Explanation:

    The proximate analysis provides information on the volatile matter that is contained within the coal sample. Volatile matter gives an indication if the coal will have good quick ignition in a boiler in a gas state. The higher the volatile matter the better quality of the coal. Fixed carbon provides the amount of carbon that can react with the air at a burner front in a solid state. The higher fixed carbon the better the coal quality. The ash content is an indication of inorganic waste material that might cause a delay in combustion of coal. The higher the ash content the less the coal quality.
