In recent years, the ecology, security, and sustainable development of modern mines have
become the theme of coal mine development worldwide. However, spontaneous …

The global threat caused by increasing surface temperature has led to negative climate
changes. One of the greenhouse gases responsible for this global warming is methane. It is …

Coal mine fires are insidious, persistent, and as widespread as the occurrence of coal itself,
yet their potential adverse human health impacts have been poorly characterised. We aimed …

Abstract The Truman Shepherd coal mine fire, Floyd and Knott counties, Kentucky, has been
the subject of several field investigations over the last four years. During July and November …

This paper presents underground coal fires (UCF) induced natural ventilation through a U-
shaped porous channel. Height of the U-shaped channel (the fire depth) is one of key …

Ground-based surveys of three coal fires and airborne surveys of two of the fires were
conducted near Sheridan, Wyoming. The fires occur in natural outcrops and in abandoned …

Coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases
(GHGs) emission. In order to understand the GHGs emissions law of the heating and …
