Influence of air supply on coal spontaneous combustion during support withdrawal in fully mechanized coal mining and its prevention

Abstract It is necessary to change the air supply rate of the working face during the withdrawal of fully mechanized mining, making it important to study the oxidation characteristics of coal samples under different air supply rates. Through a self-made temperature-programmed experimental device, ou...
