This study presents a review of the various methods to predict the spontaneous combustion
liability of coal and coal-shale. The relative propensity of coal to undergo self-heating can be …

Spontaneous combustion of coal seams in the Witbank and Sasolburg coalfields, South
Africa, was studied in order to determine if toxic chemical elements and compounds are …

Coal fires occur in underground natural coal seams, in exposed surface seams, and in coal
storage or waste piles. The fires ignite through spontaneous combustion or natural or …

The spontaneous combustion liability of coal can be determined by using different
experimental techniques. These techniques are well-known in their application, but no …

The interaction of coal and oxygen releases heat that promotes oxidation process when it
constantly accumulates. If heat released is more than heat dissipated during the oxidation …

This paper presents predictive models to determine spontaneous combustion liability of
carbonaceous materials (coals and coal-shales) using statistical analysis. The intrinsic …

Coal and coal-shale undergo low-temperature oxidation when exposed to air, potentially
leading to spontaneous combustion. Coal-shale found in association with coal seams vary …

Coal and coal-shales tend to undergo spontaneous combustion under favourable
atmospheric conditions. Spontaneous combustion liability index and intrinsic properties of …

Coal is dominant energy source of world at large and India in particular for several decades
and expected to being continued for foreseeable future. However, fire in this fossils fuel is …

Spontaneous combustion is one of the major challenges in the South African coal mining
sector. The event involves a range of complex physical and chemical processes, caused by …
