Abstract

There are many, incidents where the spontaneous combustion of coal in underground longwall panels has resulted in the explosion of methane gas. The existing spontaneous combustion detection techniques have largely helped the mining industry in the early detection of spontaneous combustion in longwall panels, however, there are several instances when these techniques have failed. This paper discusses the current status of spontaneous combustion detection systems used in various mines around the world on the early detection of spontaneous combustion in longwall panels.
