Evaluation of the spontaneous combustion of soaked coal based on a temperature-programmed test system and in-situ FTIR

•Water plays a different role in coal spontaneous combustion before and after the critical temperature.•CO and C2H4 can be selected as the index gases.•The gas production during coal oxidation is related to the relative content of functional groups. To explore the influence of long-term water immers...
