Journal Article · · Solid Fuel Chem. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6271529

The main stages of mechanism of the oxidative-reductive transformations of the organic matter and mineral fraction of solid combustible minerals in the process of spontaneous combustion are considered. An explanation is proposed of the oxidation reactions of fuels under deaerated conditions as a redox process with hydrogen depolarization.
