Questions of the rate of the electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide and its decomposition in coals during their autooxidation are considered. A correlation has been found between the results obtained by the traditional methods of determining the tendency of coals to undergo autooxidation, on the one hand, and the results of a determination of the electrochemical activities of coals in the process of oxygen ionization and the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand. This permits a recommendation of the use of electrochemical methods for characterizing the tendency of coals to undergo autooxidation.
