Thermodynamic characteristics of coal reaction under low oxygen concentration conditions

Abstract In order to further understand the characteristics of coal reaction under low oxygen concentration atmosphere, this study tested the thermodynamic characteristics during reaction processes under low oxygen concentrations. The kinetic factors were also analyzed based on testing results. The results show that there are some characteristic temperatures during coal spontaneous combustion and the influences of oxygen concentration on these temperatures are different. The influences of oxygen concentration on the mechanism function and kinetic parameters depend on the coal ranks and the reaction stages. They are different at different reaction stages for the same coal, and at the same reaction stage for different coals. This phenomenon is essentially resulted from the different influences of oxygen concentration on the micro reaction sequences during coal spontaneous combustion. The study will be helpful for further understanding of the actual development process of coal spontaneous combustion.
