This International Standard specifies a reduced molyb-dophosphate photometric method for the determination of the total phosphorus content of hard coal, lignites and coke. Two methods for taking the phosphorus into solution are specified, namely extraction from the coal or coke ash with acid or by repeated oxidation of the coal or coke, by acid, to remove carbonaceous matter.
