Abstract
The paper presents an in-depth investigation of solid-liquid two-phase particle flow sealing mucus (PFSM) for enhanced coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. PFSM is composed of solid waste particles such as fly ash and rubber particles. The PFSM is assessed using multiple-perspectives analysis, which includes measurements of water retention, pressure expansion, rheological characteristics, adhesion, wettability, microscopy and field case studies. Single-factor and multi-factor studies are used to optimize slurry material ratios. The results show that PFSM has outstanding water retention characteristics, with over 80 % retention for 30 days at 30 °C, and impressive expansion performance, with 9.52 % at 0.6 MPa. The shear thinning curve conforms to the Cross model. After 30 s, the final contact angle is 75.17 °, which is about 6 ° smaller than that of cement based materials. Field experiments show that, after applying PFSM, the drainage gas concentration can be improved at least 60 % comparing to other sealing materials. This research findings could offer novel insights into enhancing CBM extraction, indicating potential for safer and more efficient coal mine production.
