Abstract
PIXE and RBS techniques were employed for the measurement of the concentrations of the major, minor and trace elements in Nigerian coal samples from a major deposit. The samples were irradiated with 2.55 MeV protons from the 3 MeV tandem accelerator (NEC 3 UDH) in Lund. The PIXE results are reported and compared with an earlier work on Nigerian coal using FNAA and INAA analytical techniques while the RBS results are compared with ASTM previous results. The results show that Nigerian coals have a low (0.82–0.99)% sulfur content. This is quite important for pollution control reasons.
