OBJECTIVES
•
To provide a sound basis for coal sampling in a variety of industrial situations
•
To introduce both conventional and advance analytical techniques for efficient quality
assessment of coal in trade and utilisation
•
Through a sound understanding of coal sampling and quality analysis, to ensure
optimum utilisation, maximum process efficiency and responsible environmental
protection of the region's coal resources and reserves
•
To be aware of international trends in trade and utilisation, international clean coal
developments, impending constraints and future opportunities
