Abstract
Large dumps of coal waste are a necessary consequence of coal mining. In some cases, the waste material undergoes self-heating and combustion that changes the nature of the organic- and mineral matter of the wastes. The range of the alterations depends on the properties of the waste rocks (maceral composition and rank of organic matter) and the heating history, especially the rate and duration of heating and the degree of access for air and moisture.
