| Summary: | The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled “Multivariate analysis of trace elements leaching from coal and host rock” [1]. During coal mining, coal and host rock undergo water-rock interaction, leading to release of trace elements to surface and ground water. The batch experiments were designed and implemented to investigate the leaching behavior and mechanisms during the process of water-rock interaction. In different experimental sets, various types of leaching water, open/closed environments, temperature, and initial pH values were used to evaluate their impact on leaching of trace elements. These data could be used to analyze leaching mechanisms of trace elements from coal and host rock, and understand, predict, control trace elements’ contamination to surrounding waters.
