[0002] Coal spontaneous combustion is one of the main natural disasters faced by coal mining. Among the 13 existing large coal bases in my country, more than 90% of the mined coal seams are prone to spontaneous combustion or self-ignition coal seams, and the disaster of coal spontaneous combustion is very serious. According to incomplete statistics, more than 100 working faces are closed due to coal spontaneous combustion in my country every year, more than 10 million tons of coal resources are burned, and the direct economic losses exceed 10 billion yuan. It is urgent to solve the problems caused by coal spontaneous combustion. In recent years, the coal-oxygen compound theory has been widely recognized, and in-depth research on the reaction details in the coal oxidation process is of great significance for the stage control and early warning of coal spontaneous combustion.
[0003] Gas products are the external manifestation of structural changes in coal oxidation and combustion. A large number of gas products (CO, CO 2 and hydrocarbons, etc.), whose concentration changes significantly with oxidation time and temperature, can intuitively reflect the oxidation characteristics of coal and is easy to monitor, and can be used as an indicator to evaluate the spontaneous combustion oxidation state of coal. However, the source of oxygen atoms generated by carbon-oxygen gas during coal spontaneous combustion is still unclear, and there is a lack of corresponding research on the conversion path of oxygen-containing groups in coal itself and oxygen atoms in oxygen. It is difficult for existing technologies to distinguish the competitive relationship between external oxygen and oxygen in coal itself. Summary of the invention
