INTRODUCTION Many coal samples have been collected from northwest Georgia coal fields over the last 100 years. Chemical analyses of these have been reported in numerous publications including McCallie (1904), Gildersleeve (1946), Butts and Gildersleeve (1948), Johnson (1946), and Nelson (1945). With the exception of Johnson and Nelson, many difficulties are encountered when compilation and comparison of these analyses are attempted. These difficulties fall into several categories, namely:
The location of many of these samples with regard to latitude and longitude, elevation, and stratigraphic position is virtually impossible.
The type of sample collected is difficult to discern. For example, whether the sample was a full or partial channel, run-of-mine, grab or other; or whether rock partings were included or excluded from the sample.
e The analytical standards followed, if any, during the chemical analysis is difficult to determine.
e The use of many different names for the same coal bed or the use of one name for several different coal beds is a further difficulty.
The analysis of the coal samples by many different laboratories cast doubt on their credibility.
To overcome many of these difficulties, a systematic coal sampling and analysis program was initiated in the northwest Georgia coal fields in 1977. The objective of this program, which was integrated with a systematic geologic mapping program of the coal fields, was to collect,
1

where possible, well documented, unweathered coal samples from the northwest Georgia coal fields and to analyze them.
The product of the collection, analytical and statistical efforts is the comprehensive analytical data for 47 coal samples presented in this report and discussed by Coleman and others (1985). In the present report more than 100 geologic, geographic, and analytical properties are presented in tables for each of these 47 samples. This includes more than 80 major-, minor-, and trace-element determinations, physical properties, calorific values, and forms-of-sulfur.
For a general location of these samples in relation to each other, Figure 1 in Coleman and others (1985) should be consulted. The sample locations for each of the coal samples are also found on 7.5 minute scale geologic maps in Geologic Atlas 2 (Crawford, 1985).
COAL SAMPLING PROCEDURES Coal samples generally were collected according to methods outlined by Swanson and Huffman (1976). For completeness, a description of the method used follows. Full channel samples are collected by first selecting a place along the mine high wall or mine face where the coal bed in the exposed area. Approximately 6 to 12 inches of the sampling site is cut back to 3 inches with a pick to obtain fresh coal. The surface 1s then cleaned with a whisk broom to remove rock chips, coal chips, and clay s1ze particles. A channel approximately 4 inches wide and 3 inches deep is collected on a tarpaulin, 6 to 8-feet square, covered by a thick plastic sheet. This procedure will yield approximately 5 pounds of coal for each 1 foot of coal bed thickness. All partings greater than 3/8-inches thick are normally excluded.

Detailed descriptions of the coal and enclosing rock lithologies were made ~n the present study. In selected areas, underclay and roof-rock samples were collected. Site documentation consists of locating samples in terms of latitude and longitude, elevation, coal bed, and formation; measuring coal bed thickness; describing the coal bed, describing and estimating the thickness of the overlying and underlying lithologies; and collecting coal samples.
PRECISION AND ACCURACY OF ANALYTICAL METHODS Figure 6 ~n Coleman and others (1985) is a diagram which illustrates the plan by which all coal samples are processed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Samples are analyzed by a variety of analytical methods. These include semi-quantitative emission spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence (XRF), flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy, wet chemistry, and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). Samples are analyzed either on a whole-coal or coal-ash basis depending on the analytical technique and volatility of the element being determined. The analytical method selected depends on the quality of the analytical determination desired for any specific element. The least precise method is semi-quantitative emission spectroscopy. This method is used for those elements for which other methods are not conveniently available and for which high precision is not critical to the evaluation of coal quality. Detection limits will vary slightly depending on emission speeds and other analytical factors; typical detection limits are given in Table 1; precision is +50 and -33 percent of the amount reported.

Table 2 shows those elements determined by XRF and the detection limit and precision for each. The major oxides are determined by XFR on a coal-ash basis. Chlorine and phosphrous are determined on the whole-coal.
Table 3 lists detection limits and relative precision for elements that are determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Mercury and fluorine are determined by a combination of instrumental techniques (atomic absorption) and wet chemical techniques on the whole-coal. This procedure is followed because mercury is volatile and is lost at ashing temperatures of 525 degrees C.
Table 4 lists the elements, their detection limits, and the precision of the measurements when determined by INAA. This table shows that 24 elements are routinely determined by INAA. These determinations are made on a whole-coal basis because of the volatility of such elements as antimony, selenium, and arsenic.
Approximately 600 grams of each coal sample are split and analyzed following an ASTM analytical standard aptly described in U.S. Bureau of Mines Bulletin 638 (1967). These analytical determinations include the proximate and ultimate analyses; forms-of-sulfur, ash-fusibility temperatures, calorific values (Btu per pound), and the free-swelling index. These chemical and physical determinations are important both from a technological viewpoint and in characterizing coal for end use. These determinations provide data which can be used to predict coal washability, reactivity, and product yield of the coal. Characteristics such as the free-swelling index are invaluable in evaluating coals for metallurgical uses and for blending of metallurgical coals. the ash-fusion temperatures are important when the coal is used as a boiler

feedstock; they indicate the possibility of caking and fouling in the boiler. Ultimate and proximate analyses are important from both a technological and an economic viewpoint, especially the calorific value and the ash and sulfur contents.
EXPLANATION OF STATISTICAL TERMS USED IN SUMMARY TABLES The geometric mean (GM) is used as the estimate of the most probable concentration (mode). The GM is calculated by taking the logarithm of each analytical value, summing the logarithms, dividing the sum by the total number of values, and obtaining the antilogarithm of the result. The measure of scatter about the mode used here is the geometric deviation (GD), which is the antilog of the standard deviation of the logarithms of the analytical values. These statistics are used because the quantities of trace elements in natural materials commonly exhibit positively skewed frequency distributions; such distributions are normalized by statistically analyzing and summarizing trace-element data on a logarithmic basis. If the frequency distributions are lognormal, the GM is the best estimate of the mode, and the estimated range of the central two-thirds of the observed distribution has a lower limit equal to GM/GD and an upper limit equal to GM x GD. The estimated range of the central 95 percent of the observed distribution has a lower limit equal to GM/(GD)2 and an upper limit equal to GM x (GD)2 (Connor and others, 1976). The geometric mean 1s generally an adequate estimate of the most common analytical value; it is, nevertheless, a biased estimate of the arithmetic mean. The estimates of the arithmetic means listed in the summary tables in Appendix Bare Sichel's ~statistic (Miesch, 1967).
10

A common problem in statistical summaries of trace-element data arises when the element content of one or more of the samples is below the limit of analytical detection. This results in a "censored" distribution. Procedures developed by Cohen (1959) were used to compute unbiased estimates of the geometric mean, geometric deviation, and arithmetic mean where the data are censored.
Following is an explanation of the organization of these chemical and physical data found in the summary tables that constitute the appendices of this circular. All these analytical data are currently stored in the U.S. Geological Survey National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS). These data may be retrieved from this data system and manipulated and displayed in a variety of formats.
ORGANIZATION OF APPENDIX A Appendix A provides sample location data for all 47 coal samples collected and analyzed during this study. For example, each coal sample is located on a part of a 7.5-minute quadrangle map; below this map the sample number, map station number, quadrangle name, scale and contour interval are given. The map station number is the same as those found in Geological Atlas 2, '~eologic maps of the Pennsylvanian System of northwest Georgia" (Crawford, 1985). The map information is followed by a description of the sample location. Included in each sample location description is the sample type, coal bed name, thickness, formation, age, latitude and longitude,, county, description of type of exposure or collection site, elevation, sample collector, and date of collection.
11

A description of the geologic section at the sampling site is given under the heading "section description". This includes an estimate of rock and coal thickness, lithology, lithologic description and pertinent coal petrologic information. Information of this type should provide the user with sufficient detail to relocate the sampling sites and draw conclusions concerning the character of overburden and coal/rock associations.
ORGANIZATION OF APPENDIX B Appendix B is preceded by Table 5 which provides a correlation between field numbers and laboratory numbers for each sample collected and analyzed; the coal bed name for each sample is also given. Appendix B is divided into two sections. The first section gives summary type information for all 47 coal samples collected and analyzed during this investigation. In the second section, descriptive, statistical, and analytical information are given on an individual coal bed basis. For each coal bed, there are generally six types of tables, except for those coal beds which are represented by less than two samples. In the later case, only five tables are presented for these coal beds; the summary statistical table is not included. A listing of the six types of tables and a description of their contents follows.
1. Descriptive Table--This table gives the laboratory sample number, state, county, latitude and longitude, formation, coal bed, estimated rank, sample type, and sampled thickness for each sample.
2. Summary Statistical Table--This table lists the oxides/elements, number of values, mean, standard deviation, minimum,
12

maximum, range, geometric mean, geometric deviation, sigma, and zero and qualified values.
3. Major- and minor-oxides and trace-elements in coal ash or 1n laboratory ash. Ashing temperature is 525 degrees C.
4. Content of 22 trace-elements determined on whole-coal, air-dried basis.
5. Major-, minor-, and trace-element concentrations recalculated to whole-coal basis.
6. Proximate and ultimate analyses, heat content, forms-of-sulfur, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperature determinations. The proximate analysis includes moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash content. The ultimate analysis includes hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur concentrations. Also included is the air-dried moisture loss. The forms-of- sulfur include sulfate, organic, and pyritic. The ash-fusion temperatures are initial deformation, softening, and fluid, all in a reducing atmosphere.
The ultimate and proximate analyses are presented on three bases: as-received, moisture-free, and moisture- and ash-free. The heating values and forms-of-sulfur are also given on these three bases.

Table 7f. Proximate and ultimate analyses, heat content, forms-of-sulfur, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperature

determinations for eight bituminous coal samples from coal bed No. 10, Sand and lookout Mountains,

Georgia and Alabama.

(All analyses except Kcal / kg, Btu, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperatures in percent. For each sample number,

the analyses are reported three ways : first, as-received, second, moisture-free, and third, moisture- and ash-free.

All analyses by Coal Analysis Section, Department of Energy, Pittsburgh, Pa.; 8, not determined; 1540 for ash-fusion

te-m-peratures means greater than 1540 C).

Table 14f. Proximate and ultimate analyses, heat content, forms-of-sulfur, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperature

determinations for 11 bituminous coal samples from coal bed No. 4, Sand and Lookout Mountains,

Georgia and Alabama--continued

(All analyses except Kcal/kg, Btu, free-swelling Index, and ash-fusion temperatures in percent. For each sample number,

the analyses are reported three ways: first, as-received, second, moisture-free, and third, moisture- and ash-free.

All analyses by Coal Analysis Section, Department of Energy, Pittsburgh, Pa.; B, not determined; 1540 for ash-fusion

temperatures means greater than 1540 C-).---

Table 15f. Proximate and ultimate analyses, heat content, forms-of-sulfur, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperature determinations for three bituminous coal samples from coal bed No. 3, Sand and Lookout Mountains, Georgia and Alabama--continued
(All analyses except Kcal/kg, Btu, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperatures in percent. For each sample number, the analyses are reported three ways: first, as-received, second, moisture-free, and third, moisture- and ash-free. All analyses by Coal Analysis Section, Department of Energy, Pittsburgh, Pa.; B, not determined; 1540 for ash-fusion temperatures means greater than 1540 C).
