Abstract
Spontaneous coal combustion is one of the most common disasters in coal mine production. In order to explore the mechanism of coal spontaneous combustion more deeply, coal samples from the Yangdong wellfield of Jizhong Energy were selected for oxidative heat energy analysis experiments. A temperature-programmed experiment was selected to study the changes in characteristic parameters during the low-temperature oxidation of coal under different air supply conditions. TG-DSC experiments were conducted to study the characteristic temperature changes and thermodynamic characteristics of coal combustion processes at different heating rates. The study results show that the coal is most easily oxidised in the low-temperature oxidation stage when the air supply is 120 ml/min. The oxygen consumption rate, CO generation rate, and maximum and minimum heat release intensity are all greater at this airflow than under other conditions. The process of spontaneous combustion of coal has six characteristic temperature points and is divided into five stages. The characteristic temperature of the coal sample increased with the increase of the heating rate, and the TG/DTG curve showed a hysteresis phenomenon. DSC temperature curve shifts toward the high temperature with the increase of the heating rate, and the exothermic region is expanded. Isokinetic analysis (F-W-O and V-W) and Coats-Redfern model for calculating thermodynamic parameters. The activation energy of the samples decreased with the increase of the heating rate in the range of 2∼20°C·min−1 and showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the conversion rate.
期刊介绍:
Combustion Theory and Modelling is a leading international journal devoted to the application of mathematical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental techniques to the study of combustion. Articles can cover a wide range of topics, such as: premixed laminar flames, laminar diffusion flames, turbulent combustion, fires, chemical kinetics, pollutant formation, microgravity, materials synthesis, chemical vapour deposition, catalysis, droplet and spray combustion, detonation dynamics, thermal explosions, ignition, energetic materials and propellants, burners and engine combustion. A diverse spectrum of mathematical methods may also be used, including large scale numerical simulation, hybrid computational schemes, front tracking, adaptive mesh refinement, optimized parallel computation, asymptotic methods and singular perturbation techniques, bifurcation theory, optimization methods, dynamical systems theory, cellular automata and discrete methods and probabilistic and statistical methods. Experimental studies that employ intrusive or nonintrusive diagnostics and are published in the Journal should be closely related to theoretical issues, by highlighting fundamental theoretical questions or by providing a sound basis for comparison with theory.
