Study on the Influence of Characteristics of Pore Structure on Adsorption Capacity of Tectonic Coals in Guizhou Province

The occurrence and migration of coalbed methane (CBM) is inseparably associated with the pore structure within the coal seams. Three Permian Longtan Formation tectonic coal samples (QL, XL, XT) from Guizhou Province were studied to determine pore size distribution and characteristics, as well as fac...

description The occurrence and migration of coalbed methane (CBM) is inseparably associated with the pore structure within the coal seams. Three Permian Longtan Formation tectonic coal samples (QL, XL, XT) from Guizhou Province were studied to determine pore size distribution and characteristics, as well as factors that influence adsorption. Adsorption test results show that all samples generally have “ink bottle”-type pores, with large pore capacity but poor connectivity. Furthermore, the fractal dimension <i>D<sub>f</sub></i>, the tortuosity “<i>τ</i>”, and tortuous fractal dimension <i>D</i><sub>T</sub> of samples were calculated. Among the studied tectonic coals, moisture, ash, tortuosity, and volatile fraction have a positive effect on the maximum adsorption capacity (<i>V</i><sub>L</sub>), whereas intact coals’ tortuosity volatile has a negative correlation with the maximum adsorption capacity (<i>V</i><sub>L</sub>).
