When the coal combustion is very efficient, large quantities of oxygen are consumed, and most of the products generated are fire gases and water vapor. In fact, the most efficient reaction possible generates only CO2 and water vapor. This is known as complete combustion5. It rarely occurs in coal mine fires.

Spontaneous combustion (sponcom) of coal remains a major safety issue for underground coal mining operations. Recent heating incidents in Australia further highlight the need of improving current knowledge and practices of sponcom management to ensure safety and productivity of coal mines extracting coal seams that are prone to spontaneous heating.
In addition, the occurrence of coal spontaneous combustion has also seriously endangered the lives and health of employees and the safe production of mines (Lin et al. 2019;Xu et al. 2020).
A coal-seam fire is a burning of an outcrop or underground coal seam.Most coal-seam fires exhibit smoldering combustion, particularly underground coal-seam fires, because of limited atmospheric oxygen availability. Coal-seam fire instances on Earth date back several million years. Due to thermal insulation and the avoidance of rain/snow extinguishment by the crust, underground coal-seam fires ...
Apr 09, 2020· Taking the Daxing coal mine in Liaoning Province as an example, the main parameters, such as airflow volume, gas extraction, and nitrogen injection, were optimized based on the simulation results. These results are of great significance for the coupled control of gas accumulation and spontaneous combustion in goafs of coal mines.

The management of large volumes of coal combustion residues (CCRs) is a challenge for utilities, because they must either place the CCRs in landfills, surface impoundments, or mines, or find alternative uses for the material. This study focuses on the placement of CCRs in …
Oct 13, 2020· With innovations in the field of coal mining engineering, increasing number of high-temperature heat sources emerged in underground mines. Various external heat sources emerged in underground coal mines are also potential factors responsible for catalyzing spontaneous combustion fire [11, 12]. However, a combined analysis of the two hazards has ...
Mar 05, 2019· Self-heating of coal and coal-shale has been reported in South African coal mines to be capable of starting spontaneous combustion (Onifade and Genc 2018b, c, d). The reasons for coal-shale to undergo spontaneous combustion has been reported to be caused by the amount of pyrite, organic composition, reactive nature and rank of the associated ...

India has the largest concentration of coal fires, and it is estimated that 80% of those fires started due to spontaneous combustion. Indian coal fires were first documented in coal fields located in Raniganj back in 1865. In addition, mines in Jharia, Jharkhand are famous for their rich coal resources, but records show nearly 70 fires have been burning for over 100 years dating back to 1916.
Coal ash, a waste product, generated from the combustion of coal, consists of fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and flue gas desulfurization material. Fly ash, which is the main component of coal ash, is composed of spherical particulate matter with diameters that range from 0.1 μm to >100 μm.
Jul 15, 2021· The Underground Coal Mines sector consists of all underground coal mines that liberate 36,500,000 actual cubic feet of methane (equivalent to approximately 17,579 metric tons CO 2 e) or more per year. Facilities in this sector include both underground coal mines under development and those categorized by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as active mines.
Jan 01, 2018· Coal combustion and CO x (CO 2 & CO) impacts on environment and health. Coal is an important source of energy around the world—approximately 41% of the world's electricity is generated from outdoor coal combustion (Nataly Echevarria Huaman and Xiu, Jun. 2014). However, indoor coal combustion is only used for domestic energy purposes.
