The paper presents the impact of thermal processes on the dynamics of changes in
vegetation and soil properties in the area of coal-waste dumps where self-heating and self …

The study presents research on the unusual appearance of purple-colored organic minerals,
ravatite (phenanthrene) and freitalite (anthracene), occurring in the migrating front wall of a …

The self-heating of coal waste dumps is considered as a serious environmental issue,
wherever active or inactive coal mining has been present. This issue is introduced from two …

Weathering-caused alterations in coal mining waste geochemistry, petrography, and
mineralogy occurring in the known time span of 1998–2018 in the temperate climate of …

Twenty-seven gases and sixteen rock wastes from the thermal active Rymer coal waste
dump were collected. The composition and origin of gaseous, liquid, and solid pollutants …

The knowledge of the behavior of coal undergoing oxidation under various conditions is
important for the prevention and control of mine fires. The aim of the work was to investigate …

To solve the problem of early warning of coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) caused by
