摘要
A 4 pi geometry bulk coal analyser using the Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) technique was tested in the laboratory. The volume of the bulk samples was 270 litres. A 1.5 mug Cf-252 neutron source and a 75 mm x 35 mm dia EGO detector were used for the measurements. The ash, Fe, Si and Al content of coal were determined with good accuracy.
