Abstract: Underground coal fires are a major disaster that needs to be urgently addressed in the coal mining industry, as they can cause waste of resources, environmental pollution, threaten the life and health of species, and cause serious damage to society and the economy. Currently, the research on the prevention and control of underground coal fires focuses more on the technical level and lacks scientific guidance at the methodological level. Based on this research gap, this paper uses CiteSpace 6.1.R6 to analyze the research hotspots and subjects in the field of underground coal fires and gives a comprehensive research overview of its microscopic chemical reaction substance and macroscopic multi-field coupling characteristics. Then, from the methodological level, it summarizes the complex system characteristics of underground coal fires and puts forward the elements and principles for the prevention and control of underground coal fire disasters under the paradigm of complex system research. This study proposes a new way of thinking for the prevention and control of underground coal fires and helps to build a whole-process prevention and control system.
