Abstract

Coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) wastes valuable resources and does great damage to the environment. To study the oxidation and exothermic properties of CSC under solid-liquid-gas coexistence conditions, a C600 microcalorimeter was used to analyze the heat released by the oxidation of raw coal (RC) and water immersion coal (WIC) under different air leakage (AL) conditions. The experimental results showed that the AL was negatively correlated with the heat release intensity (HRI) in the initial stages of coal oxidation, but as the oxidation proceeded, the AL and the HRI gradually showed positive correlations. The HRI of the WIC was lower than that of the RC under the same AL conditions. However, since water participated in the generation and transfer of free radicals in the coal oxidation reaction and promoted the development of coal pores, the HRI growth rate of the WIC was higher than that of the RC during the rapid oxidation period, and the self-heating risk was higher. The heat flow curves for the RC and WIC in the rapid oxidation exothermic stage could be fitted with quadratic functions. The experimental results provide an important theoretical basis for the prevention of CSC.
