“…This spectroscopy provides useful information on the qualitative and quantitative occurrences of Fe-bearing minerals and amorphous phases in coal. ,,,,,− The Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ratio, crystal data peculiarities, and solid solutions in Fe-containing coal minerals and phases can also be characterized. For example, these data can be used for a detection of the oxidation and weathering levels of Fe sulfides to Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ sulfates, and later to Fe oxyhydroxides. ,,− Transformations of Fe minerals following other treatments have been studied as well. ,,− The MS has also been proposed as an alternative to wet chemical methods for pyrite analysis in coal. ,,− The application and perspectives of this technique for coal characterization have been recently reviewed …”

The present state of the methods commonly used for inorganic and mineral matter characterization in coal is described and summarized. The application of various separation procedures, macroscopic observations, reflected and transmitted optical microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal and thermogravimetric analyses, Mössbauer spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and chemical analyses are briefly discussed. A short critical overview on the advantages and limitations of the above listed methods as well as some recommendations during their utilization are also presented.
