In order to study the dynamic development law of different regions in the spontaneous combustion process of coal, the spontaneous combustion process of loose coal under constant air volume from normal temperature to 140 °C was tested by using large coal spontaneous combustion simulation test bench, so as to analyze the change law of oxygen consumption rate and heat release intensity in time and space. The results showed that the temperature of the loose coal spontaneous combustion process varies with the height of the coal body at different temperature stages. The high temperature point moved from the upper middle position of the coal body to the air inlet side; the oxygen consumption rate and time of different coal body heights showed indexes Increase, and the rate of oxygen consumption coincided with the migration law of the high temperature point of the coal body height. The coal body exhibited slow and rapid growth in stages around 75 °C; the heat release intensity of the loose coal inlet gradually increased. After the temperature exceeds 75 °C, the heat release intensity of different coal heights gradually increased with time, and the intensity of heat release coincides with the migration law of the high temperature point of the coal body height.

The spontaneous combustion of broken coal is one of the main causes for mine safety accidents in goafs. To determine the effect of different air-leakage conditions on the spontaneous combustion of leftover coal, the air-leakage passage of the goaf was designed based on the principle of Sudoku grid in an inflammable coal seam. The temperature rise during the auto-ignition oxidation of coal was studied using a self-built experimental platform. By changing the air flow rate, the laws of the change in the oxygen consumption rate and the heat-release intensity with the coal temperature were analyzed. Results show that the oxygen consumption rate had three obvious peaks at 48?C, 75?C and 105?C, respectively. Above 80?C, spontaneously combustion of the experimental coal samples began. The exothermic intensity increased exponentially with the rise of temperature. Furthermore, an exponential relationship was observed between the air supply at the working face and the spontaneous combustion of broken coal in the goaf. In addition, the increase in air supply in the fully-mechanized mining face increased the width of the oxidation zone.

Microbial efficiency in a meromictic reservoirIndices of microbial efficiency (expressed as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release) were determined in the water column of the meromictic Piaseczno Reservoir (in an opencast sulphur mine), which is rich in sulphur compounds. Phytoplankton abundances were low in both the mixolimnion (up to 15 m depth) and monimolimnion (below 15 m depth). In summer and winter, carbon dioxide release was 3-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in the monimolimnion than in the mixolimnion. Laboratory enrichments of the sulphur substrate of the water resulted in a decrease in oxygen consumption rate of by about 42% in mixolimnion samples, and in the carbon dioxide release rate by about 69% in monimolimnion samples. Water temperature, pH and bivalent ion contents were of major importance in shaping the microbial metabolic efficiency in the mixolimnion, whilst in the monimolimnion these relationships were not evident.

Pre-weaned porcine islets (PPIs) represent an unlimited source for islet transplantation but are functionally immature. We previously showed that necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) immediately after islet isolation enhanced the in vitro development of PPIs. Here, we examined the impact of Nec-1 on the in vivo function of PPIs after transplantation in diabetic mice. PPIs were isolated from pancreata of 8–15-day-old, pre-weaned pigs and cultured in media alone, or supplemented with Nec-1 (100 µM) on day 0 or on day 3 of culture (n = 5 for each group). On day 7, islet recovery, viability, oxygen consumption rate, insulin content, cellular composition, insulin secretion capacity, and transplant outcomes were evaluated. While islet viability and oxygen consumption rate remained high throughout 7-day tissue culture, Nec-1 supplementation on day 3 significantly improved islet recovery, insulin content, endocrine composition, GLUT2 expression, differentiation potential, proliferation capacity of endocrine cells, and insulin secretion. Adding Nec-1 on day 3 of tissue culture enhanced the islet recovery, proportion of delta cells, beta-cell differentiation and proliferation, and stimulation index. In vivo, this leads to shorter times to normoglycemia, better glycemic control, and higher circulating insulin. Our findings identify the novel time-dependent effects of Nec-1 supplementation on porcine islet quantity and quality prior to transplantation.

In China, as popularizing the technology of fully mechanized top-coal mining and increasing the strength and depth of mining, the gutter-up gob can be formed. But the work of fire preventing and extinguishing for its coal spontaneous combustion is more complexity and difficulty. In this paper, based on geology parameters and mining practice for 93up12 fully mechanized top-coal caving face in Nantun coalmine, the form and character of gutter-up gob are analyzed. According to the hidden danger of high temperature for spontaneous combustion in the gob, we adopt the comprehension technologies of fire extinguishing and preventing which include sealing air-leakage, grouting, and injecting compound gel with fly-ash, foam of retarding oxidation, liquid carbon dioxide, and gas of nitrogen. By putting in practice the pre-controlling technology in gutter-up gob and monitoring data of target gases, it obtains a good effect and ensures the safety in production of the fully-mechanized top-coal caving face.
