Coal is a vital source of energy. The 308 Coal is the newest Vitrinite Reflectance Measurement System fromCRAIC技术and is designed to determine the grade of coal and coke by vitrinite reflectance. This is used ensure that the coal blends used in energy generation are optimum and consistent from batch to batch.
However, the 308 Coal does far more than that. It can also be used to acquire fluorescence and reflectance spectra of geological samples in order to more accurately grade them.
308 Coal™是CRAIC技术的最新玻璃体反射测量系统
玻璃铁矿是煤的含量，由各种聚合物，纤维素和木质素组成。测量玻璃体麦克雷尔反射的光量是确定煤层的热成熟度及其对钢生产的适用性的关键测试。该程序已由包括ISO和ASTM在内的许多国际机构进行标准化。所有标准都需要使用显微镜分光光度计，例如308煤：一种旨在测量微观采样区域反射的光强度的设备。
The procedure is simple: the 308 Coal measures the amount of light reflected from samples from the coal blend at hundreds of points after which a statistical analysis is done by the computer. The results of the statistical analysis are used to determine the amount of vitrinite in the coal blend, its thermal maturity and therefore its value for coking. As hundreds of measurements need to be done on each sample, this used to be a very time consuming process. Now the 308 Coal can automate this process and dramatically improve a laboratories throughput and accuracy. The results is a histogram from which the thermal maturity of the coal to be used in steel production can be determined.
308煤也可以做更多的事情，而不仅仅是测量玻璃体反射率。除了捕获全彩色的数字图像外，它还可以用于测量煤的反射率和荧光光谱。进行光谱法的这种能力尤为重要，因为使用光谱法可以比单颜色的测量得出更高的歧视水平。
