Coal oxidation at low temperatures is the heat source liable for the self-heating and
spontaneous combustion of coal. This phenomenon has imposed severe problems in coal …

In this work, a screening of the self-heating propensity of bio-char produced from softwood
bark and sawdust under different torrefaction conditions was performed. As there is an …

Mine fires are a major problem in global coal mining industry and most of them are caused
by spontaneous combustion that needs proper attention in strategic planning. The …

The same coal at different moisture contents will reach thermal runaway at different times.
There is also the possibility that if the coal has a sufficiently high moisture content it cannot …

In this article, we look at spontaneous combustion due to exothermic chemical reaction
taking place within a stockpile of combustible material. The model includes mass and …

Clinker referred here as red and brick-looking burnt rocks found interbedded in the Upper
Paleocene Cerrejón Formation is the result of spontaneous and natural combustion of coal …

Spontaneous combustion has been a long-standing challenge affecting coal mines globally
as it jeopardises the financial and safety aspect of mining operations. It does not only …

Due to coal's vital role as a well-known fuel in electricity production worldwide, promising
prediction of the behavior of this fuel in different combustible systems can be an effective …

Over the past seven years a large database of coal self-heating rates under adiabatic
conditions has been developed at The University of Queensland. Coals have been tested …

Thermal stability of reactive materials in a stockpile which spontaneously ignites is
investigated in this article. The stockpile is modeled in a spherical domain assumed to be of …
