Examination of the capability of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique as the emerging laser-based analytical tool for analyzing trace elements in coal

Determination of ash content, volatile matter, and calorific value in coal by OLS combined with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy based on PC recombination

“…Some advantages of LIBS include no complex pretreatments, all-element analysis, synchronous detection, and environmental friendliness, and can meet the need of the coal industry for timely detection of coal quality. 31…”
