Modelling of spontaneous combustion of coal with moisture content included

Spontaneous Combustion and Coal Petrology

“…These and other parameters have been used in modeling of spontaneous combustion (Bhattacharyya, 1971;Arisoy and Akgün, 1994;Bhat and Agarwal, 1996;Krishnaswamy et al, 1996a, b, c). These studies provide valuable information about significance of the used parameters for various coals.…”

Study on the pore structure and oxygen-containing functional groups devoting to the hydrophilic force of dewatered lignite

“…[15,16]. The adsorption mechanism of water vapor on the surface of coal has been studied by some researchers and they considered that the interaction bonds between water and coal were mainly free water held by physicochemical forces, adsorbed water determined by hydrogen bonds, and chemically bonded water [17]. With the increase of relative pressure, water molecules firstly combine with the oxygencontaining functional groups on the surface of lignite by hydrogen bonds.…”

Spontaneous combustion of the Upper Paleocene Cerrejón Formation coal and generation of clinker in La Guajira Peninsula (Caribbean Region of Colombia)

“…Spontaneous combustion of coal is an important problem in its mining, long distance transportation, and storage, in terms of both safety and economics (Chakravorty and Kolada, 1988;Kaymakci and Didari, 2002;Arisoy et al, 2006). According to Querol et al (2008), although most studies point to oxidation of organic matter as the main cause of coal self-ignition, other factors could also favour or hinder spontaneous combustion.…”
