What exactly does the sulfur content in coal refer to?

Thread Content

Due to work requirements, I would like to know what exactly is meant by the sulfur content in coal? Does it mean converting all the sulfur in coal to elemental sulfur, or converting it into other forms such as sulfur dioxide? For example, if 1000 grams of coal contains 32 grams of elemental sulfur, then is the sulfur content in these 1000 grams of coal 3.2% (based on elemental sulfur) or 6.4% (based on sulfur dioxide)? ?

The sum of sulfur in various forms in coal is called the total sulfur content of coal (St). The total sulfur in coal typically includes the sulfate sulfur (Ss), pyrite sulfur (Sp), and organic sulfur (So) of the coal. St = Ss + Sp + So
