Description
Jiaxin Yang and four co-authors pack oxygen eating germ groups into a gel foam to stop coal from self igniting. Brown coal can heat and catch fire on its own in mines and piles. Germ sprays help, but their effect fades fast in open air.
One gel mix held the germs best and kept them eating oxygen long after the foam fell flat, cutting oxygen near the coal by about half. The coat sealed cracks and slowed heat steps that lead to fire. Heat tests showed a much higher energy bar for the risky stage.
