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.

Sorption and Desorption of CO2and CH4in Vitrinite- and Inertinite-Rich Polish Low-Rank Coal

Katarzyna Czerw et al.

Summary: Low-pressure sorption tests on Polish bituminous coal samples in coal-methane and coal-carbon dioxide systems revealed a relationship between petrographic composition and gas sorption capacity, especially for carbon dioxide. Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich sorption isotherms were used, showing a preference for carbon dioxide sorption. Hysteresis loop size was found to depend on petrographic composition, increasing with higher vitrinite content for both sorbates.

Shumin Liu et al.

Summary: The temperature curves of coal samples under liquid nitrogen soaking can be divided into accelerated cooling stage, decelerated cooling stage, and maintained low-temperature stage. With an increase in soaking times, the time required to reach the low-temperature stage gradually shortens. The heating/cooling speed follows a logarithmic function, and the order of absolute values is lignite > bituminite > anthracite.

Ahmed Hamza et al.

Summary: Depleted gas reservoirs are considered safe and reliable storage sites for sequestering CO2, with the potential for cost reduction through incremental recovery of residual natural gas after CO2 injection. Research on CO2 adsorption/desorption characteristics in depleted gas reservoirs and applications in unconventional resources contribute to advancing CO2-EGR technology knowledge. Additionally, assessing ecological and economic impacts of storing CO2 in different reservoir types is important for understanding the overall effectiveness of CO2-EGR operations.

Influence of sequestered supercritical CO2 treatment on the pore size distribution of coal across the rank range

Kang Chen et al.

Summary: The influence of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) fluids on coal pore structure and mineral content is significant, leading to reductions in micropore volume, increases in average pore diameter and macropore volume, as well as alterations in mineral content. The impact of SC-CO2 is related to coal rank, with the greatest effect on lignite's macropore volume and anthracite's micropore volume. Mineral dissolution may contribute to the reduction in micropores and increase in mesopores and macropores.

Influence of H2O on Adsorbed CH4 on Coal Displaced by CO2 Injection: Implication for CO2 Sequestration in Coal Seam with Enhanced CH4 Recovery (CO2-ECBM)

Ran Yang et al.

Summary: The presence of H2O in coal influences the adsorption of CO2 and CH4, with coal containing oxygenic functional groups and mesopores being positively correlated with H2O. The impact of H2O on CO2 adsorption depends on its dissolution capability and competitive adsorption. Injecting CO2 promotes desorption of adsorbed CH4 from coal, with a lower CO2 adsorption amount at equilibrium state for displacement at equilibrium pressures below 3 MPa.

Long-term effects of CO2-water-coal interactions on structural and mechanical changes of bituminous coal

Guanglei Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, the long-term effects of CO2 injection on the structural and mechanical properties of water-saturated coal were investigated. It was found that the presence of water during CO2 injection resulted in significant changes in the mechanical properties of coal, primarily due to sorption-induced cracking causing structural damage. The extent of reduction in mechanical properties was less compared to pure CO2 injection, potentially due to the hindrance of CO2 sorption by water.

Evaluation of liquid CO2 phase change fracturing effect on coal using fractal theory

Binwei Xia et al.

Summary: LCPCF technology has the potential to enhance coalbed methane drainage by enlarging pore diameter and increasing total pore volumes of treated coal samples, leading to a more regular and homogeneous pore structure. Gas content and gas emission index show a negative relationship with fractal dimension, while coal permeability demonstrates an exponential increasing trend with the decline of fractal dimension. Fractal theory bridges the gap between pore structure and methane flow, and is expected to be widely used for evaluating fracturing effect in coal seams.
