The findings indicate that the chemical components of mine water significantly influence the spontaneous combustion behavior of coal. Electron microscopy experiments demonstrated noticeable changes in the surface morphology and pore structures of SC, leading to an increased oxidation rate and a heightened risk of spontaneous combustion. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed a decrease in carbon content alongside an increase in oxygen and sulfur concentrations on the SC surface, further facilitating the spontaneous combustion process. Simultaneous thermal analysis experiments indicated that characteristic temperatures, such as pyrolysis and ignition points of SC, were generally lower than those of RC, suggesting a stronger propensity for spontaneous combustion. <sup>13</sup>C NMR results showed a higher content of oxygen-containing functional groups in SC compared to RC, although the aromatic carbon content remained similar. A comprehensive evaluation suggests that SC exhibits an enhanced tendency towards spontaneous combustion.

It is noted that this index differs significantly for coals with a close stage of metamorphism. For the studied coals, the activity to ozone was determined for two types of sites that are differing in the rate of deactivation when interacting with it. It is shown that the activity of sites of the first type (with a higher deactivation rate when interacting with ozone) grows with an increase in the proportion of crystalline carbon in the coals’ vitrinite.
