Safe condition for storage of high V.M. bituminous coal is that ___________________?

Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.

  • A. Height of the coal heap should be < 3 metres
  • B. Maximum 200 tons should be stored in a heap
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

High-volatile bituminous coal can self-heat because oxidation is promoted in large, poorly ventilated heaps. Limiting both the heap height to below about 3 m and the heap size to about 200 tons reduces this fire risk.
