Abstract
- Among coal-producing countries, China has witnessed the highest frequency and severity of coal fires. During mining in the re-mining face and the lower part of the thick coal seam (or coal seam group), second or multiple oxidations of the residual coal can readily occur in mined-out areas, severely increasing the risk of coal fires. The study of multiple oxidations of coal aids in the early detection of spontaneous combustion of remaining coal in the mined-out areas. The characteristics of coal fires are demonstrated using fresh coal samples (first-oxidized coal) and oxidized coal samples (second-oxidized coal) from four different ranks of coals. Proximate and elemental analysis, Fourier transform spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry were adopted to investigate the quality, microcharacteristics, characteristic temperatures, and apparent activation energy of second-oxidized coal. In addition, the effect of spontaneous combustion at heating rates of 5.0, 10.0, and 15.0 °C min was studied. Compared with the four samples of first-oxidized coal, those of second-oxidized coals cause fire easily under the same conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
