To explore the micromechanism
of the
structural changes of anthracite due to heat accumulation by water
and pyrite, during oxidation, anthracite with coal samples was selected
in this work from Baijiao Coalmine, Sichuan, China. The samples were
added with water of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mass % and pyrite of 1, 2,
4, and 6 mass % and were conducted to experimented torts. As compared
with the raw coal sample, the effects of water and pyrite on the microstructure
of anthracite were studied. The results indicate that the oxygen-containing
functional group of coal increases with the addition of water. The
content of the aromatic structure in coal was thought to be due to
water and pyrite synergistic effects. The synergistic effect of water
and pyrite accelerates the oxidation process of seven types of active
groups in coal samples. The water content was 10–15 mass %,
and the associated pyrite content was 2–4 mass %; the contribution
to the oxidation activity of the main active groups of coal was the
largest under oxidizing conditions.
