Softening temperature of coal ash is a measure of the _____________ of coal?

Correct answer: C. Clinkering tendency

  • A. Caking tendency
  • B. Coking tendency
  • C. Clinkering tendency
  • D. Size stability

Explanation

Ash softening temperature indicates when ash particles begin to deform and stick, which determines their tendency to form fused clinker on a grate. It therefore measures clinkering tendency rather than coal caking or coking tendency.
