Abstract
ABSTRACT Abandoned mines contain a large amount of residual coal and gas resources for development and utilization. In order to accurately establish the calculation model of gas reserves and lay a foundation for the exploitation of gas resources in abandoned mines, based on the analysis of temperature evolution of abandoned mines, gas adsorption experiments and molecular simulations were carried out at temperatures of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 °C and five different adsorption equilibrium pressures (0.5∼2.5 MPa). The test results show that the attenuation rates of gas adsorption at 30∼60 °C, 60∼90 °C, 90∼120 °C, and 120∼150 °C are 8.53%, 7.89%, 5.55%, and 1.55%, respectively. High temperature inhibits the increase of gas adsorption by residual coal, but its inhibition has a certain limit. At high adsorption equilibrium pressure, the initial adsorption rate increases with the rise of temperature. When the pressure is 2.5 MPa, the initial adsorption rates at 30, 60, and 90 °C is 1.25, 2.22, and 2.32 ml▪g−1▪min−1, respectively. Temperature affects the gas adsorption characteristics of residual coal. Therefore, the influence of temperature should be considered when establishing the gas reserves model of abandoned mines.
