Description
Summary:Abstract With the application of new technologies for coal mine gas control, it has been increasingly urgent to apply the fixed‐point closed sampling (FPCS) technology for accurate measurement of coal seam gas content. In this study, gas desorption during FPCS was analyzed. In addition, gas desorption experiments and COMSOL simulations were conducted on coal particles. Furthermore, the gas desorption law during FPCS was compared with that under atmospheric pressure. The results show that Sun's formula can effectively characterize the gas desorption law during FPCS, and the i value remains unchanged when the gas desorption curve is fitted with Sun's formula. On this basis, a specific method for calculating gas loss during FPCS by using Sun's formula was proposed. The research findings are expected to provide a theoretical basis for accurate measurement of coal seam gas content by means of FPCS.
