Abstract
The article considers one of the most interesting natural processes - spontaneous combustion of technogenically redeposited coal-bearing deposits at the Osinnikovskoye coal deposit. Based on the study of lithological and geochemical features of pyrolyzed coal-bearing deposits of heaps, the authors made the following conclusions: the dynamics of epigenesis of coal-bearing rocks is accompanied by an exothermic process, which results in low-temperature pyrolysis; pyrolysis promotes metasomatic transformations of rocks, consisting in the active removal of such components as S–C–N, etc. from the coal-bearing mass; in the process of jet gas mass transfer through fumarole channels, condensation of gaseous pyrolysis products occurs; a large accumulation on the surface of waste heaps of high-molecular hydrocarbon compounds in the form of asphaltenes, resins and sulfur contributes to spontaneous combustion and pyrogenesis (burning) of rocks.
Keywords
