Question

Ground Jatropha hull samples were used to estimate the proximate analysis. The following are the data from the experiment: a. An initial wet sample weighing 2.9657 g was used and placed in the drying oven set at 103ºC overnight until the final weight became 2.6938 g. b. Again similar wet sample weighing 2.9657 g were placed in the tube furnace set at 950ºC for 7 minutes and the resulting weight of the product was 0.6172 g. c. The moisture (MC) and volatile (VCM) free sample (from part b) was then placed in a muffle furnace set at 600ºC for 4 hours with a resulting final ash weight of 0.0342 g. Calculate the fixed carbon (FC) based on wet sample.
