Research on spontaneous combustion law and precise prevention and control technology of extra thick residual coal in multi layered staggered mining by Yanhui XU, Xiaojiao CHENG, Hu WEN, Xiaowei ZHAI, Shixing FAN, Yongfei JIN, Yin LIU, Zhijin YU

“…In view of the environmental conditions conducive to coal spontaneous combustion, such as large amount of residual coal in goaf, many three-dimensional air leakage and oxygen supply channels, water loss of residual coal and high ground temperature in multi-layer staggered mining of Mengba Mine, firstly, through the theoretical superposition of “three zones” observation of coal spontaneous combustion in goaf, air leakage channel analysis, tension fracture zone and fault, the range and risk level of spontaneous combustion danger area in multi-layer staggered mining are divided, and the minimum safe advance speed of working face is determined. Secondly, through the programmed temperature rise experiment of different water-bearing coal samples and Graham coefficient, the coal spontaneous combustion marker gas, characteristic temperature threshold, early warning index and threshold are obtained. …”
