    Factors affecting the spontaneous combustion index
    (1992) Eroglu, Huseyin Nehar
    The self-heating of coal is a problem which concerns the mining industry not only in South Africa, but also in many other countries. This thesis deals with the contouring of spontaneous combustion liabilities (WITS-ERAC index values) of different seams at the Durban Navigation Colliery and the relationship between the WITS-EHAC index values and the properties of the coal samples. In the determination of the spontaneous combustion liabilities 58 different coal samples were tested with an ignition-temperature test apparatus, crossing-point temperature tests and differential thermal analysis were conducted simultaneously.
