With the large-scale mining of coal resources, the huge economic losses and environmental
problems caused by underground coal fires have become increasingly prominent, and the …

The microstructure, thermal behaviour (30° C-300° C) and thermophysical properties (30° C-
300° C) of raw and water-soaked air-dried coal samples were analysed through scanning …

Moisture and non-combustible substances are commonly used in the self-sustaining
smoldering treatment of energy-saving and emission reduction strategy in porous media …

Coal spontaneous combustion is a major threat for safe production. In order to achieve the
application of sound wave technology to the monitoring and early warning of coal …

Accurately resolving the way energy is stored and transferred is critical to applied
smoldering systems in porous media. Water evaporation and condensation are important …

Smouldering combustion is emerging as a valuable application for many environmentally
beneficial purposes, including waste-to-energy. While many applied smouldering systems …

Smoldering treatment is emerging as a valuable engineering tool for many processes,
including food waste treatment. However, smoldering systems are currently not well …

This work innovatively explored the qualitative and quantitative effect of axial stress loads on
the low-temperature oxidation behaviors of loose broken coal using a multi-field coupled …

Smoldering combustion process has been suggested as a new method potentially useful in
the treatment of biosolids. Natural forest duff (FD) often consists of organic fuel layers with …

Hydroxyl groups in coal contain a variety of forms. It is very important to study the reaction
characteristics of different forms of hydroxyl‑containing coal molecules for revealing the …
