Preface
Spontaneous combustion is one of the most serious problems to mine safety and production in the global coal industry. It is considered to be the trigger for fires and explosions in underground coal mines especially for gassy mines. Such thermal events are not easily detectable since they normally occur in inaccessible gobs and sealed areas. It is also difficult to find the most likely hot point accurately. The investigation and study of spontaneous combustion has been an intense effort between industrial safety experts and academic researchers for hundreds of years. They have devoted their efforts to revealing the influential factors underlying the self-heating behavior. However, due to the complexity of intrinsic chemical and physical properties and extrinsic in situ mining conditions, spontaneous combustion mechanisms have not been fully understood. Admittedly, evaluation, prediction, and control of spontaneous combustion before and during mining activity are necessary steps to prevent and reduce self-heating accidents for coal mine safety. This book’s goal is to underline the principle of how to actually understand, analyze, and deal with this issue. Based on experimental and theoretical research findings, the book emp
