Abstract: This study addresses the timely and accurate measurement of coal ash content by proposing a detection model based on nuclear science technology, which is validated using FLUKA 4-4.0 simulation software. The background provided highlights the fact that coal ash content is a critical sales indicator, and its precise measurement is essential for adjusting production parameters in coal preparation plants. In terms of methodology, this study employs the widely used FLUKA4-4.0 software in the field of nuclear physics to simulate X-ray transmission through coal, investigating the impact of changes in coal type on the accuracy of ash measurements. The results indicate that, when the proportions of high-atomic-number elements in coal remain constant, the ash measurement results are accurate and reliable. However, significant fluctuations occur when these proportions change. The conclusion emphasizes the fact that variations in coal type are the primary cause of inaccuracies in ash measurement, particularly when the ratios of high-atomic-number elements are altered. This research provides a new perspective on the online measurement of coal ash content and offers theoretical support for improving measurement accuracy.
