Self oxidation of Romanian lignite during storage

摘要

Due to large emissions of pollutants, the Romanian coal fired power plants will operate less frequently, but they will play an important role in ensuring the stability of power system. A long storage period leads to a devaluation of lignite. The paper shows a correlation between the baseline characteristics of the stored lignite, weather conditions and storage time which can be an effective tool for establishing measures to reduce the spontaneous heating of coal and to provide spontaneous combustion.
