A Study on Acid Dissolution Characteristics and the Permeability Enhancement of Deep Coal Rock.

In order to reveal the acidification and dissolution characteristics of deep coal rock, core acidification and dissolution experiments are carried out based on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technology to study the dissolution characteristics of different acid types when applied to coal rock, and to quantitatively evaluate the dissolution characteristics of acid solutions when applied to different-scale pore throats and the karst corrosion characteristics of primary fractures. This will help to further understand the dissolution rate and pore volume growth rate of coal powder under the action of different acid types. Improving the seepage effect of coal seams is of great significance. The results show that 15% acetic acid has the best effect with regard to karst erosion and permeability. The pore volume growth rate is 442.49%, and the permeability increases by up to 31 times. With large pores, the rapid dissolution stage of mud acid, hydrochloric acid, and mixed acid mainly occurred in the first 36 h, and the rapid dissolution stage of acetic acid and hydrofluoric acid applied to the core mainly occurred at 36–72 h. The dissolution rate of acid solution is strongly correlated with porosity and permeability, and the higher the acetic acid concentration, the larger the permeability increase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
