The paper addresses an electro-chemical method called wet oxidation potential technique for determining the susceptibility of coal to spontaneous combustion. Altogether 78 coal samples collected from thirteen different mining companies spreading over most of the Indian Coalfields have been used for this experimental investigation and 936 experiments have been carried out by varying different experimental conditions to standardize this method for wider application. Thus for a particular sample 12 experiments of wet oxidation potential method were carried out. The results of wet oxidation potential (WOP) method have been correlated with the intrinsic properties of coal by carrying out proximate, ultimate and petrographic analyses of the coal samples. Correlation studies have been carried out with Design Expert 7.0.0 software. Further, artificial neural network (ANN) analysis was performed to ensure best combination of experimental conditions to be used for obtaining optimum results in this method. All the above mentioned analysis clearly spelt out that the experimental conditions should be 0.2 N KMnO4 solution with 1 N KOH at 45°C to achieve optimum results for finding out the susceptibility of coal to spontaneous combustion. The results have been validated with Crossing Point Temperature (CPT) data which is widely used in Indian mining scenario.

W pracy omówiono możliwości wykorzystania metody elektro-chemicznej zwanej metodą określania potencjału utleniającego w procesie mokrym do określania skłonności węgla do samozapłonu. Dla potrzeb eksperymentu zebrano 78 próbek węgla z trzynastu kopalni w obrębie Indyjskiego Zagłębia Węglowego. Przeprowadzono 936 eksperymentów, w różnych warunkach prowadzenia procesu aby zapewnić standaryzację metody w celu jej szerszego zastosowania. Dla każdej próbki przeprowadzono 12 eksperymentów metodą badania potencjału utleniającego w procesie mokrym. Wyniki skorelowano z własnościami danego węgla przez przeprowadzenie badania petrograficznych i wytrzymałościowych parametrów węgla. Procedurę korelacji wykonano z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania Design Expert 7.0.0, następnie przeprowadzono analizę z wykorzystaniem sieci neuronowych w celu opracowania najkorzystniejszej kombinacji warunków eksperymentu do wykorzystania dla uzyskania optymalnych wyników. Badania wykazały, że najkorzystniejsze warunki dla procesu to zastosowanie roztworu 0.2 N KMnO4 z 1 N KOH przy 45°C dla uzyskania optymalnych wyników określania skłonności pokładów do samozapłonu. Walidację wyników przeprowadzono w oparciu o wyniki badania metodą określania temperatury przejścia (Crossing Point Temperature), szeroko stosowaną w przemyśle wydobywczym w Indiach.
