An automatic method for thermogravimetric analysis of multiple samples of coal or coke for volatile matter in a thermogravimetric analyzer of the type including an auto-loading delivery system, a furnace, a movable platform within said furnace, an external balance and an internal balance for measuring the weights of sample holders, lids and samples before and after treatment in the furnace. Coal or coke samples are placed in the sample holders and weighed in the external balance and are auto-loaded into the furnace at 950 C. All sample holders are weighed sequentially on the internal balance at exactly 7 minutes from introduction time with space time 14-20 seconds in between them and the weight of the sample holder prior to being placed in the furnace is compared with the weight of the sample holder after it has been treated in the furnace to determine the amount of volatile material.

A rotating apparatus and a method for measuring acid-rock reaction characteristics in high temperature and pressure are provided. The apparatus for measuring the acid-rock reaction characteristics includes: a first reactor configured to react a rock disk with an acid; a second reactor configured to produce a spent acid through reaction of a rock with an acid aqueous solution, and to introduce the spent acid into the first reactor; and a sample extractor configured to extract a predetermined amount of acid reacting with the rock disk in the first reactor. Accordingly, the rock disk is rotated in the acid at high temperature and pressure in consideration of the reaction characteristics of the rock dissolved in the acid, and then a predetermined amount of acid reacting the rock is obtained with time. In addition, a flow of an acid in a real reservoir can be implemented by producing a spent acid and then reacting the rock disk with the spent acid at a reservoir condition.
