The geological sequestration of CO2 in unmineable coal seams has gradually become one of the most effective means of responding to the global greenhouse effect. Presently, the cyclic injection of CO2 into coal seams is utilized in some enhanced CBM recovery projects with CO2 sequestration; therefore, a proper understanding of the effects of the cyclic saturation of supercritical CO2 (ScCO2) on coal is essential. Here, we present a series of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests on bituminous coal subjected to both sustained and cyclic ScCO2 saturation. Nuclear magnetic resonance and acoustic emission (AE) are used to investigate changes in the pore structure distribution and porosity, as well as the fracture propagation. The results indicate that ScCO2 saturation enhances the continuity of the pore volume distribution, while cyclic saturation has a stronger influence on the pore structure. Furthermore, samples subjected to cyclic saturation exhibit significantly greater decreases in UCS and elastic modulus than the sustained-saturation samples, owing to mechanical fatigue caused by the cyclic saturation. The AE results show that cyclic saturation produces multiple signal releases in the form of unstable crack propagation, reducing crack closure and enhancing stable crack propagation. We also analyze the failure mechanism of coal samples under cyclic ScCO2 saturation in terms of the pore structure and mechanical changes experienced and discuss the influence of the cyclic injection of CO2 into coal seams. Hence, the results of this study are expected to provide a reference for the selection of appropriate CO2 injection methods and safety assessments for field projects involving coal-seam CO2 sequestration.
