Abstract

Based on the engineering background that the sealed fire area is easy to reignite, the reignition characteristics of pre-oxidized coals (POC) after cooling are studied. Predecessors mainly explain this problem from the perspective of pre-oxidation affecting coals pore structure. This paper analyzes the effects of different pre-oxidation temperatures and cooling atmospheres on coal physical and chemical structure. The changes of coals during oxidation-cooling-reoxidation were studied by means of a programmed heating device, low temperature nitrogen adsorption experiment, FTIR and quantum chemical calculation. The results show that the average pore size of the coal cooled in nitrogen at the same pre-oxidation temperature is smaller than that of the coal cooled in dry air, while the spontaneous combustion characteristics of the coal cooled in nitrogen are stronger than those of raw coal, and spontaneous combustion characteristics of coal cooled in air are the opposite. The oxygen-containing functional groups of the coal cooled in nitrogen are pyrolyzed to produce active sites which can exist stably in nitrogen. Then, the rationality of “The active sites tend to be alkyl radical” is analyzed and speculated by molecular orbital theory, and it's found that alkyl radicals can release lots of heat at 30 °C.
