Influence of Coal Processing with a Suspension of Blast Furnace Slag on Changes in the Physicochemical Properties of the Surface

The properties and efficiency of a solid–liquid suspension based on ground blast furnace slag, which is used to deactivate the processes of oxidation and spontaneous combustion of coals, have been studied. It has been established that sequential impregnation of coal with water-soluble and thickened components of the slag suspension promotes uniform passivation and a decrease in the oxidative activity of the external contacting surface. The results obtained justify the effectiveness of using slag waste as a constituent of technological suspensions for the insulation plugging of a coal seam.
