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 …

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 …

To comprehensively investigate the multi-scale characteristics of coal spontaneous
combustion, in situ infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) …

Coupled thermodynamic disasters in goaf, such as coal fires and gas explosions have long
been one of the most serious disasters in major accidents of coal mines worldwide. In the …

Abstract In the United States, coal consumption in the last 12 years has declined from
1,045,140 million short tons in 2007 to 539,420 million short tons in 2019, a decrease of …

Smoldering coalfield fires generate greenhouse gases (GHGs) and their precursors,
contributing to the intensification of global warming. The study on the contribution of GHGs …

Large igneous province eruptions and their carbon emissions often coincide with, and are
hypothesized to have driven, severe environmental perturbations in the geological past …

Coal-waste dumps are an integral part of the environment and shape the landscape of coal
basins. This study aimed to present an analysis of environmental changes in terms of land …

We focus on a comparison of the geochemistry and mineralogy patterns found in coal,
deposited dust (DD), respirable deposited dust (RDD) and inhalable suspended dust …

The process of spontaneous combustion of coal and coal waste gobs including emitted
gases, condensation of inorganic and organic species in vents, and leachable potential are …
