        abstract = {One of the major issues in coal mining is spontaneous combustion, which also poses a significant storage and transportation challenge. It causes serious risks to public safety, financial losses, and environmental issues. The chemical and physical mechanism underlying coal's self-heating behavior is reviewed in this work, along with the main influencing factors—coal rank, particle size, moisture content, and storage conditions—and the historical case study. Additionally, detecting methods and preventive strategies are identified. The study concludes with suggestions for lowering the risk of spontaneous combustion as well as guidelines for the future.},
