- Abstract
To study the effects of organic micromolecules in coal on methane adsorption characteristics, organic micromolecules were extracted by n-hexane using microwave assisted method from coal samples to obtain the residual coal samples at 50°C, and atmospheric pressure. And their extracts were analyzed via the Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). And on this basis, the diesel was chosen to be as models for n-hexane extracts of coals and was used to add to coals. Methane sorption isotherms on raw coals, their residues and coals added diesel were tested. The results show that; At low pressure, the difference of gas adsorption between raw coals and their residues is insignificant, while as the pressure increases, the amount of coal methane adsorption is gradually higher than its residues; Different from raw coal and their residues, at greater pressure, gas absorption increment for coal added diesel is more higher under the same pressure section, and as the pressure increases, the final amount of methane adsorb slightly higher than raw coals. For all coal samples examine, experimental date are fit by the Langmuir and Langmuir-Henry dual-model, which suggests that methane sorption by the coal samples can be explained by adsorption on the surface that occurred at low pressures described by a Langmuir isotherm and at high pressures, penetration (dissolution) into the bulk described by Henry's law, and organic micromolecules in coal are help for increasing the amount of coal methane adsorption at high pressures.
