A critical investigation into spontaneous combustion in coal storage bunkers
نویسندگان
چکیده
SYNOPSIS Spontaneous combustion (SC) is a cold oxidation reaction that generates heat, causing temperature rise of the reactant and leading, with limited heat dissipation, to self-ignition reactant, which occurs without an external source. Although not coal, most significant hazard SC are fires occur in coal mining operations around world. These pose serious risk safety workers mines as well adverse effects on environment, can affect quality life for current future generations. We investigated occurrence raw storage bunkers purpose compiling decision analyser engineers designing or working bunkers. Specific experts were interviewed from different backgrounds companies, followed by field research at mine. The important factors affecting possibility occurring type supplied bunker, practice, physical conditions bunker. information presented here will assist reducing findings, together systematic developed, design mine personnel take early preventative steps managing SC. was tested many scenarios gave good guidance how minimize prevent Keywords: bunkers, storage, spontaneous combustion.

Modelling Spontaneous Combustion of Coal
Spontaneous combustion of coal is an important problem in mining and storage, in terms of both safety and economics. This is because coal reacts with oxygen in the air and an exothermic reaction occurs, even in ambient conditions. The heat of the reaction accumulates and the reaction becomes progressively faster and thermal runaway may take place to the point of ignition. A detailed computer mo...
متن کاملA comprehensive study on the effect of moisture content on coal spontaneous combustion tendency
There are several phenomenons for polluting the environment, especially in coalfields; which coal spontaneous combustion is one of them. The moisture content is one of the intrinsic characteristics of coal, which has an important role in the occurrence of this phenomenon. Therefore, this research predicts the coal spontaneous combustion tendency based on moisture content. The percentage of mois...
متن کاملApplying rock engineering systems (RES) approach to evaluate and classify the coal spontaneous combustion potential in Eastern Alborz coal mines
Subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. Empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. The Rock Engineering Syst...
متن کاملStudying Relationship between Coal Intrinsic Characteristics in Spontaneous Combustion of Coal Potential Using Crossing Point Temperature Test Method
Spontaneous combustion of coal is one of the most horrifying hazards in coal industries, especially in underground coal mines. Thus having a prior knowledge about the occurrence of this phenomenon in underground coal mines is of crucial importance in preventing this process, loss of life, huge economic loss, and environmental pollution. The aim of this work is to determine the spontaneous combu...
