The distribution and emission characteristics of chlorine in different phases are important for evaluating the impact of chlorine chemistry on the stratospheric and tropospheric environment. This study developed a measurement method of full-phase chlorine and firstly reported full-phase chlorine emissions characteristics of domestic coal combustion. The chlorine content of bituminous coal is 252.5 μg/g, with 87 % released into the gaseous, and the concentrations of particulate chloride (pCl), hydrogen chloride (HCl), chlorine gas (Cl
