Influence law of air flows on the risk of secondary oxidation spontaneous combustion of coal
Zihao Chai, Baoshan Jia, Ruirui Yu, Wanting Zhao

TL;DR
This study examines how different air flow rates affect the risk of coal self-ignition during secondary oxidation, revealing how oxygen consumption and heat release change under various conditions.
Contribution
The paper provides new empirical insights into the influence of air flow on coal's secondary oxidation self-ignition hazard, which had not been systematically studied before.
Findings
Higher air flow (200 mL/min) increases oxygen consumption rate and exothermic intensity in the first oxidation stage but reduces it in later stages.
Lower air flow reduces differences between primary and secondary oxidation in terms of oxygen consumption and heat release.
Increased air flow and oxidation cycles significantly raise the likelihood and sustainability of coal self-ignition.
Abstract
In response to the issue that the self-ignition hazard of coal secondary oxidation under diverse air flow conditions has not been systematically investigated, this study carried out secondary oxidation experiments on lignite under four distinct air flow conditions. By measuring indicators such as the oxygen consumption rate, exothermic intensity, oxygen consumption activation energy, and limiting self-ignition parameters of the coal samples during the experiment, the characteristics of the secondary oxidation hazard of coal under different air flow conditions were deeply explored. The experimental findings indicate that within the air flow range of 25–100 mL/min during the entire oxidation process (40–170°C) and in the first oxidation stage (40–90°C) at 200 mL/min air flow, the oxygen consumption rate and exothermic intensity of the coal samples were significantly higher than those in…
