Abstract
During the coal mining process, gas explosions pose significant hazards, causing casualties and property losses. In order to develop new types of inhibitors for gas explosions, this paper explores the reaction mechanisms of urea pyrolysis products NH3 and HNCO inhibiting gas explosions based on density functional theory (DFT), transition state theory, and grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo method (GCMC). It analyzes the reaction processes and kinetic characteristics of urea pyrolysis products with key radicals and gas molecules involved in explosions from a microscopic dynamic perspective. The results show that urea pyrolysis products exhibit good inhibition effects on active radicals involved in explosion reactions·NH3 and HNCO show stronger van der Waals forces in electrostatic attraction towards O2 and *H, respectively, and faster rate advantages in reaction rate constants. The lower Gibbs free energy barrier indicates higher reaction activity of pyrolysis products, thereby diluting the concentration of key radicals involved in explosion reactions and effectively inhibiting explosion key elementary reactions (R32, R38, R53, R57, R156, and R170). This study provides new insights into the microscopic inhibition mechanism of urea pyrolysis products on gas explosions, offering a new approach for designing more targeted modified inhibitors, which helps reduce the hazards of gas explosions during coal mining and provides scientific support and technical guidance for safe coal mining production.
