Role of coal deformation energy in coal and gas outburst: A review

Chenghao Wang et al.

Summary: This paper systematically reviews the importance of coal deformation energy and gas expansion energy in coal and gas outbursts. It highlights that most literature related to outburst energy overlooks the contribution of coal deformation energy. Experimental results show that the deformation energy of high outburst risk tectonic coal has a power function relationship with stress, and its releasing mode differs from intact coal. The coal deformation energy is proved to have the same order of magnitude with gas expansion energy.

Control mechanism of small organic molecules on methane adsorption capacity of coal

Xianqi Peng et al.

Summary: This study explores the control mechanism of small organic molecules on the methane adsorption capacity of coal. The results show that small organic molecules increase the methane adsorption capacity of low-rank coal by separating and creating more micropores, while they reduce the methane adsorption capacity of middle-rank coal by closing micropores. In high-rank coal, the presence of small organic molecules has no significant effect on methane adsorption capacity.

Experimental study on the influence of gas pressure on CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage and deformation characteristics of coal in the whole process under triaxial stress

Haifei Lin et al.

Summary: The CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage characteristics of coal are important indicators for measuring the gas extraction capacity of coal seam. The deformation of coal caused by CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage is a significant factor affecting the CH4 extraction ability. This study conducted synchronous test experiments on CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage and coal deformation under different gas pressures. It analyzed the timely characteristics of CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage and coal deformation, clarified the influence of gas pressure, and discussed the quantitative relationship between CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage and coal deformation. A whole-process strain model of coal for CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage was established. The research findings showed that increasing gas pressure can promote the CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage and deformation of coal, and the deformation is affected by coal bedding structure and external stress. The strain caused by CH4 adsorption-desorption-seepage in coal has different growth relationships with the adsorption capacity, desorption capacity, and seepage capacity of CH4. The study provides theoretical support for the efficient extraction of coal seam gas.

Effect of new modified materials on the microscopic pore structure and hydration characteristics of sealing materials in coal seam boreholes

Mao Jing et al.

Summary: In this study, fly ash, nano-silica, and triethanolamine were used to optimize the pore structure of sealing materials for efficient coal mine gas extraction. The analysis showed that common sealing materials mainly contained mesopores (52.19%) and had the smallest volume of micropores (9.88%). Single doping of fly ash reduced the pore volume by 9.5%, but increased the percentage of mesopores by 1.3% and decreased the percentage of micropores by 0.9%. Co-doping with nano-silica and fly ash increased the microporous percentage by 0.77% and the peak stress by 17.43%. The synergistic effect of fly ash, nano-silica, and triethanolamine was the most effective in optimizing the pore structure. The pore volume was reduced to 0.08198 cm(3)/g, and the fractal dimensions D-1 and D-2 increased by 2.88% and 2.48%, respectively. The microscopic morphology of the material became flatter and denser, and the hydration of fly ash was more complete.

Pore structure evolution and oxidation characteristic change of coal treated with liquid carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen

Haihui Xin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in pore structure and oxidation properties of coal treated with liquid carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen. The results showed that the matrix of coal shrank and the pore and crack increased after being soaked in liquid CO2 and liquid N2. The oxygen absorption capacity of the coal also increased, especially when soaked in liquid N2. The changes in pore structure promoted oxygen absorption and led to an increase in spontaneous combustion and reignition tendency. The study provides valuable information for controlling coal spontaneous combustion when using liquid CO2 and liquid N2.

Accurate characterization method of coal pore and pore throat structure of different coal ranks based on two-dimensional NMR liquid nitrogen fracturing cycles

Lei Qin et al.

Summary: This paper characterizes the porosity and pore throat structure of different coal grades (lignite, bituminous coal and anthracite) under liquid nitrogen fracturing cycles by testing the T2 and T1-T2 sequences. The results show that the total pore space of A, L and B is arranged in descending order according to the initial state. The internal porous throat distribution of lignite and anthracite coal samples is wider. With the increase of the number of fracturing cycles, the internal pore space of the three coal grade coal samples has been improved, of which lignite has the largest lifting rate; The internal porous throat distribution of L coal samples was reduced by 0.97%. The internal pore space of B and A coal samples increased by 34.62% and 6.33%, respectively, the pore-throat distribution increased by 28.96% and 16.98%, respectively.

Numerical investigation of methane seepage behaviour in coal with lattice Boltzmann approach: The synergistic effects of oxidizing acid and ionic liquid

Yanan Miao et al.

Summary: A novel lattice Boltzmann (LBM) - based methodology was developed to estimate methane seepage capacity in coal seams after reagent modification. The addition of oxidizing acid and ionic liquid enhanced pore structure and maximum seepage velocity, but decreased average flow velocity and shifted higher cross-sectional velocity closer to the inlet of seepage channel. The presence of small cracks or pores adsorbed by ionic liquid deteriorated channel connectivity and slowed down gas flow. The study can provide theoretical guidance for acidizing and infiltration enhancement technologies in coal seams.

An investigation into the modification of microwave-assisted oxidation in the macromolecular structure of coal via XRD and Raman spectroscopy

Chaoping Xu et al.

Summary: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolutionary characteristics of the macromolecular structure of coal using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that microwave irradiation triggers the conversion of ordered graphitic carbon to amorphous carbon, as well as the condensation and spatial arrangement of aromatic clusters. Microwave-assisted oxidation facilitates the directional growth of aromatic rings and the cross-linking of aliphatic chains, and induces the rotation, displacement, stacking, and gradual parallel alignment of aromatic lamellae, thereby improving the integrity of the graphite structure and the orderliness of the macromolecular structure.

Study on typical temperature effect mechanism of multi-component coal during low-temperature thermal expansion

Yuzhou Cong et al.

Summary: Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) cold shock is a promising technology for coal reservoir, and the fracture networks in coal are influenced by temperature changes of different components. The effects of temperature include differential expansion of mineral particles, evaporation of pore water, gas volume expansion, and water-to-ice phase transition. This study investigates the relationship between minerals, moisture, and porosity of six coal types and the overall thermal expansion coefficient of coal samples using various testing and analysis methods. The results show that the thermal expansion coefficient of major minerals in coal is generally lower than the overall coefficient. Moisture and porosity of coal samples are proportional to the overall thermal expansion coefficient, with the porosity of small pores having the highest influence, indicating that the temperature effect of pore water evaporation and gas volume expansion plays a crucial role in coal temperature change.

Experimental investigation on pores and permeability variation characteristics of coal treated by chemical solvents

Chunshan Zheng et al.

Summary: Enhancing coal permeability by adopting chemical solvents treatment is an effective method to improve coalbed methane production efficiency. This study investigated the changes in coal ultrasonic characteristics, pore structure, and permeability after treatment with different chemical solvents. Results showed that ultrasonic velocity in coal reduces while ultrasonic attenuation coefficient increases after treatment, indicating good development of coal fractures. The porosity and permeability of CS2-treated coal experienced the maximum increase, and the permeability changes obtained from the NMP calculation model were consistent with lab measurements. The results demonstrate that chemical solvents can dissolve molecular substances in coal and improve pore connectivity.

A review of laboratory study on enhancing coal seam permeability via chemical stimulation

He Li et al.

Summary: Chemical stimulation is a potential technology for enhancing coal permeability. Current research focuses on developing efficient chemical stimulation techniques and understanding the mechanisms of permeability enhancement. Laboratory studies have shown that acidising, oxidizing, organic solvent extraction, and electrochemistry stimulation techniques can improve coal permeability. Factors such as coal composition, pore-fracture structure, chemical reagent type, precipitation formation, in-situ stress, and water blocking influence the efficiency of permeability enhancement. The field application of chemical stimulation techniques is still limited, and future research should investigate their feasibility and consider the synergistic effects of chemical and physical stimulation techniques.
