Microporous structure and gas adsorption model of fusain in lignite

Geng Li et al.

Summary: The study focused on the microporous structure and gas adsorption mechanism of fusain in lignite, revealing that removal of water under dry conditions creates effective space for gas adsorption, leading to higher adsorption capacity, while water occupying methane adsorption sites under wet conditions results in decreased gas adsorption ability in fusain micropores. Despite similar chemical structure characteristics, there are differences in pore size and methane adsorption properties when comparing fusain and meta-anthracite.

Role of pore irregularity in methane desorption capacity of coking coal

Xianfeng Liu et al.

Summary: The gas desorption property of coal is closely related to its pore distribution. Accurately characterizing the pore structures is crucial for understanding gas flow in coal seams. In this study, nine typical coking coal samples from the Xishan coalfield in North China were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively for their pore structure characteristics. Fractal theory was used to evaluate the irregularity of the pores and their impact on methane desorption capacity. The results showed that pore volume and pore specific surface area varied widely across the coking coals, with micropores providing a large surface area but low pore volume, while macropores contributed the most to pore volume. Fractal dimensions were also determined and showed a small fluctuation range for D-1 and a wide range for D-2. The gas desorption capacity of coking coal was positively correlated with pore volume, pore specific surface area, and average pore diameter. The change in D-2 had a significant impact on gas desorption behavior, indicating that increased irregularity of macropores hindered gas flow. This study also found that moisture content and coal matrix properties could inhibit rapid gas release. These findings provide theoretical support for gas extraction in underground coal mines.

The study also revealed the significant influence range and connectivity of fractures caused by hydraulic fracturing.

Effects of Methane Saturation and Nitrogen Pressure on N2-Enhanced Coalbed Methane Desorption Strain Characteristics of Medium-Rank Coal

Zhenzhi Wang et al.

Summary: Experimental tests were conducted to understand the characteristics of medium-rank coal reservoir desorption in N-2-enhanced coalbed methane (N-2-ECBM). The results showed that atmospheric pressure desorption did not represent the samples' desorption characteristics during reservoir drainage, and the relationship between shrinkage/swelling strain and gas saturation and I/A pressure ratio was identified. The study revealed that N-2-ECBM was more effective for high-saturation and low-gas-content coal reservoirs, providing guidance for N-2-ECBM of medium-rank coal.

Gas desorption-diffusion behavior from coal particles with consideration of quasi-steady and unsteady crossflow mechanisms based on dual media concept model: Experiments and numerical modelling

Shi Guangshan et al.

Summary: Gas diffusion behavior is crucial in coal and gas outburst and drainage, with unipore and bidisperse models commonly used. While the bidisperse model fits experimental data well, assumptions often do not hold true for most coal. A dual media model was proposed, with two diffusion models developed accounting for different crossflow mechanisms. Model II proved more effective than Model I at describing gas transport, with macropore volume distribution playing a key role. The findings offer insights for researchers studying gas diffusion in coal.
