Abstract
Production of a large amount of gas during outbursts will cause greenhouse effects, which will impact the atmospheric environment. In this study, some inherent properties of pulverized tectonic coal were investigated. The results indicate that tectonic coal was more broken and exhibited a higher gas adsorption volume. No obvious changes were found in the micropore and mesopore volumes, whereas the macropore volume and pulverized tectonic coal porosity were significantly increased compared with those of intact coal. Additionally, the initial gas desorption capacities of pulverized tectonic coal were enhanced by tectonism, which might be related to the development of macropore structures and porosity. Analysis of gas expansion energy at the same particle size showed that the values increased with the increasing pressure. Pulverized tectonic coal had a higher gas expansion energy, which could result in a larger outburst of potential energy. Almost all outbursts occurred in tectonic development zones and released a large amount of gas, which greatly damaged the ecological environment. From the perspective of environmental protection, attention should be paid to gas control in the tectonic development zone.
