Abstract
Danger of spontaneous combustion and dust explosion at coal handling and utilizing facilities is outlined.Spontaneous combustion is a resultant phenomenon of competition of the rates of heat generation and heat loss. Influence of factors on the initiation is described on the basis of the thermal explosion theory.Explosion characteristics of dust clouds are described in relation to the assessment and protection-suppression measures.It is emphasized that decreasing particle size increases the hazard of spontaneous combustion and dust explosion but there are little data for the assessment for finely pulverized coals.
