Abstract
Maceral components and its content of coal were divided based on the microscopic characteristics of coal. The Langmuir volume and the Langmuir pressure were tested, and the Langmuir volume represents the adsorption capacity of coal. The formation of coal bed methane is affected by the partition of the maceral components in coal. Therefore, the relationship between maceral composition and coal bed methane adsorption capacity of coal was analyzed. The results show that the maceral components of coal are dominated by vitrinite and inertinite in the study area, and the content of inertinite is below 32%. The vitrinite group has a negative linear correlation with the Langmuir volume, and the inertia composition has a positive linear correlation with it. The cellular structures in the inertinite are the main site of coal bed methane enrichment. The microstructure of coal affects the coalbed methane content and the stage of hydrocarbon generation in coal. This indicates that the microstructure of coal is one of the important factors influencing the adsorption capacity of coal seam.
