NEED U TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. You used random samples from stockpiles for your analysis; how
do you know your results will represent the entire thickness of the
coal beds that will be used in the proposed powerplants?

2. You should at least be able to provide basic information such as

the age, rank, total sulfur content, and ash yield of the coal beds that
will be used in the powerplants.
Age-around 47 million years, Permian period (299 to 251 million
years ago).
Total Sulfur content-the total sulfur content is generally low, around
1%, with some horizons having higher contents, however (< 1.5%).
Ash yield-In general ash yield is high.
Rank-Mozambican coal are bituminous coal, with rank varying
from high to low volatile bituminous coals (ASTM terminology). In
general, coal rank increases with depth.

3. Any of the stockpiles consist of washed coals.

Both VALE and ICVL companies have got washing plants.
However, we did not ask prior to the sampling weather the coal
samples were washed or not. I am trying to contact the employee
who attended us during sampling in each company. Will send this
answer soon.

4. You mention that several coal-fired power plants are going to be

built in the study area, but you don’t say which type of power plant
is likely to be built (electrostatic precipitator, fabric filter, or other).
Electrostatic precipitator.
5.How did you decide on a temperature of 815oC in your preparation
of coal ash samples?
