Abstract
During coal oxidation and temperature rise, a significantly large amount of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) signals are generated as a result of thermal deformation and thermal cracking. The generation of EMR signal is the comprehensive embodiment of the physical and chemical changes in coal during its oxidation and subsequent heating. Therefore, the generated signals contain complex and rich messages that can reflect the changes in the internal structure of coal. In this work, the characteristics of EMR signal were analyzed by multifractal theory. Multifractal analysis was used to deconstruct EMR signals. Our preliminary study indicated that the multifractal spectrum of the EMR signal had a feature of small probability event. Further analysis demonstrated that the characteristic parameters of EMR signal are quite different at the later heating stage from those at the early heating stage. At the initial stage of coal spontaneous combustion, the multifractal spectrum of the signal is wider, but when coal combustion is reached, the scale range of EMR signal increases significantly, and its structure changes at different temperature ranges. The research results presented provide a basis for monitoring and presenting an early warning of coal spontaneous combustion risk.
