Among the fossil fuels, coal is the most widely used one all over the world for different purposes and is a stable source of energy. Coal mining has serious hazards such as spontaneous combustion. Many factors can influence the tendency for occurrence of this phenomenon in coal mines and coal storages, one of which is the petrographic characteristics (maceral and pyrite contents). The petrographic characteristics are directly affected by the growth of coalification and origin of coal forming. In this research work, firstly, the maceral and pyrite contents in coal samples were identified in two various mines in Iran (Tabas Parvadeh and Eastern Alborz coal mines). Then the spontaneous coal combustion propensity of each sample was measured using the Crossing Point Temperature (CPT) test method. The aim for carrying out this research work was to measure the effect of the maceral and pyrite contents on the grade of spontaneous coal combustion propensity. It was found that the pyrite contents and the vitrinite, liptinite, and inertinite mean levels in the Tabas Parvadeh and Eastern Alborz coal mines were (2.08%, 53.30%, 9.91%, 34.71%) and (1.14%, 53.06%, 6.39%, 39.41%), respectively. The mean CPT value was 148.43 º C in the Tabas Parvadeh coal mines and 175.86 º C in the Eastern Alborz coal mines. By examining the results of the experiments and comparing the CPT values, it was found that with an increase in the liptinite and pyrite contents and a decrease in the inertinite content, the Tabas Parvadeh coal mines tend to have more tendency for spontaneous coal combustion in comparison with the Eastern Alborz coal mines.
