Two sub-samples of the received sample were prepared for determination of the moisture content with reference to BS EN 14774-3:2009. The samples were placed in a drying oven at 105oC until constant in mass and the moisture content (Ma r), expressed as a percentage by mass....

3. Calorific Value
An oven dried sub sample was weighed and manually separated and distributed into 8 sub-categories which were subsequently weighed prior to the determination of their energy content.
