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 کاملSpontaneous Combustion of Paint Loaded Filters
(CSE) performed an analysis of the self-initiated thermal decomposition phenomenon of paint-loaded filters that has occurred on several occasions as reported by the Iowa Waste Reduction Center. By conducting a series of self-heating tests on samples of filters loaded with paint, CSE has shown that in selected circumstances the exothermic decomposition of the paint-loaded filters could lead to t...
متن کاملPCR-based method for detecting viral penetration of medical exam gloves.
The test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for assessment of the barrier quality of medical exam gloves includes visual inspection and a water leak test. Neither method tests directly the ability of gloves to prevent penetration by microorganisms. Methods that use microorganisms (viruses and bacteria) to test gloves have been developed but require classical culturing of the orga...
متن کاملSpontaneous human combustion: a sometimes incomprehensible phenomenon.
Several cases of human combustion, the cause of which was not evident, have been described over the last few centuries. There are three intriguing elements to such cases. Firstly, although the body is destroyed, the immediate surroundings are left almost intact. Secondly, there is often no visible source of heat that might have started the fire. Thirdly, sometimes bodies are not completely dest...
متن کاملEffect of maceral content on tendency of spontaneous coal combustion using the R70 method
Spontaneous coal combustion (SCC) is one of the significant hazardous phenomena in underground coal mines. The tendency of spontaneous coal combustion is an intrinsic property, due to the presence of the maceral content. Unlike its importance, this matter has not been discussed in detail among the researchers. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of this parameter on SCC. Macera...
