Abstract:
This study investigates changes in the concentration and types of free radicals in the process of coal heating, first rising and then falling. Hailar lignite, Panjiang bituminous coal, and Yangquan anthracite were selected as coal test samples. The results show that the lignite's concentration of free radical changes during heating is greater than that of bituminous coal or anthracite. It clearly shows that lignite is more prone to spontaneous combustion. In the heating and cooling portion of the experiment, the concentration of free radicals during the cooling process was much more than that of free radicals at the same temperature during the heating process. These results obtained from this research study can provide a reference for the prevention and control of the spontaneous combustion of coal with changes in temperature. This study provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of spontaneous combustion of coal and the selection of retarding agents and methods in the process of flame retarding by testing the free radical changes of coal at different temperatures. Also, it provides a reference for preventing and controlling coal oxidation with the change in temperature, first rising and then falling.

Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
