The results showed that the acid leaching treatment significantly changed the pore structure, microcrystalline structure and oxidative exothermic properties of different coal types. After acid leaching, the specific surface area of lignite decreased by 62.39 % compared with that of the original coal, while that of coking coal and anthracite increased by 59.85 % and 50.94 %, respectively. The aromaticity of lignite increased by 1.85 %, while the aromaticity of coking coal and anthracite decreased by 5.63 % and 5.56 %, respectively. Correspondingly, the heat release of lignite after acid leaching decreased by 58.12 J compared with that of the original coal, while coking coal and anthracite increased by 61.36 J and 155.50 J, respectively. Further analysis showed that the modification effect of acid leaching on the microphysical structure of the coal varied according to the degree of deterioration, and this difference directly led to the difference in the effect of the microstructure on the macroscopic oxidative and exothermic properties. The acid leaching treatment inhibited the spontaneous combustion tendency of lignite, while it showed the effect of promoting spontaneous combustion for coking coal and anthracite.
