ABSTRACT

The low-temperature oxidation of coal includes processes such as coal-oxygen reactions and pyrolysis. As heat generated from coal-oxygen reaction is the fundamental driver of coal spontaneous combustion, the thermokinetic studies of coal spontaneous combustion should be focused on that. However, the pyrolysis path will impact the coal-oxygen reaction, resulting in limited capability of characterizing the t accurate hermokinetic parameters of coal-oxygen reaction process. Therefore, this paper proposed a new method to test the heat generation characteristics of coal-oxygen reaction path and the theoretical model of the method was established. The experimental results show that the method can achieve successful experiments within a short period of time, and exclude the impacts from heat absorption of water evaporation and pyrolysis, and well characterize the nature of coal spontaneous combustion. Meanwhile, the thermokinetic parameters such as heat generation rate and heat production can be obtained quickly and accurately. The coal-oxygen reaction path is divided into three stages by using the heat generation characteristics. By analyzing in-situ FTIR results, it is concluded that the gradual participation of different active groups is the main reason for the three stages. There are two main factors affecting the starting and heat generation of each stage, one is the activity of active groups which can participate in the initial reaction, and the other one is the number and activity of active groups that can participate in the reaction.
