      abstract = {This book aims to understand, analyze and mitigate the  harmful impacts of spontaneous coal combustion in  underground mines, a thermal phenomenon that triggers fires  and explosions threatening the safety of mine workers  globally. Based on experimental and theoretical research  findings, the book emphasizes three essential questions  that are fundamental to understand spontaneous coal  combustion: What are the root causes? How to evaluate the  causative factors to determine the activity of coal? and  How to bring this issue under control in real longwall  panel? Readers are introduced to experimental techniques  applied to investigate the basic molecular structure of  coal and evaluate chemical properties that induce  self-heating behavior, theoretical analyses to predict the  extrinsic effect on low temperature oxidation of coal in  experimental scale and full-size longwall panel, and  preventive measures to mitigate this issue using methods  for retardant screening, numerical simulations for optimal  grouting and nitrogen injections, and case studies  analyzing thermal events using mine atmosphere gas  monitoring data. The book will be of interest to students  and researchers studying mining engineering and chemistry,  as well as engineers and practitioners involved in coal  mine development and risk assessment.},
