World Coal - Conscious Coal Milling
All coals oxidise during storage, but sub-bituminous coals (such as those from the Powder River Basin), due to their friability and porosity, are especially prone to spontaneous combustion. The increasing use of sub-bituminous coals throughout the world has therefore increased the risks of grinding mill incidents. Avoiding spontaneous combustion in the milling process is essential for personnel ...
