Overview

Experimental evaluation reveals that activation energy varies significantly with oxygen concentration, implying safety concerns for coal storage.

Key Points

  • Activation energy increases from 12.98 kJ·mol−1 at 21% O2 to 25.11 kJ·mol−1 at 3% O2, indicating oxygen's critical role.
  • Critical temperatures mark the transition in the oxidation process, with significant differences in activation energy below and above those points.
  • Kinetic analyses were performed using the Arrhenius equation based on oxygen consumption rates at different oxygen levels.
  • Identifying a safety threshold of 6% O2 for goaf atmospheres provides essential guidance to mitigate the risk of coal spontaneous combustion.
