黔北无烟煤孔隙结构特征及甲烷吸附特性研究

Pore structure characteristics and methane adsorption properties of anthracite in northern Guizhou

  • 摘要: 现有针对煤的孔隙结构及其甲烷吸附特性方面的研究主要集中于低阶煤、中阶煤及深部煤层,对黔北煤田无烟煤孔隙结构特征及其对甲烷吸附能力的影响研究较少,并且由于孔径分布宽、形态复杂、相互连通性差异显著,单一测试手段难以全面表征煤体的全孔径结构特征。针对上述问题,以黔北无烟煤为研究对象,采用低温CO2吸附、低温N2吸附−脱附与高压压汞实验,分别针对微孔(孔径<2 nm)、介孔(孔径2~50 nm)及宏孔(孔径>50 nm)进行孔隙结构表征;引入分形理论对实验数据进行定量分析,分别计算微孔、介孔及宏孔对应的分形维数,得出分形特征与孔隙结构参数及甲烷吸附能力之间的关联规律。实验结果表明:① 黔北无烟煤的孔隙结构以微孔和介孔为主,宏孔占比较小,微孔比表面积占总比表面积的75.57%~80%,孔体积占比为48.28%~57.35%,是甲烷吸附的主要空间;介孔在气体扩散与运移过程中发挥重要的过渡作用。② 黔北无烟煤的分形维数介于2.241~2.892,说明孔隙具有明显的非均质性,微孔分形维数较低,孔壁较平滑;介孔和宏孔分形维数较高,结构更复杂、表面粗糙度更大。③ 黔北无烟煤的甲烷吸附能力受微孔发育程度与孔隙复杂性共同控制:微孔越发育、分形维数越低,煤样吸附能力越强;当孔隙结构复杂、分形维数较大时,吸附能量分布不均、有效吸附位点减少,吸附性能降低。④ Langmuir 模型拟合结果显示,黔北无烟煤的甲烷最大吸附量为25.141~33.922 cm3/g,甲烷吸附能力受微孔影响较大,随微孔比表面积、孔体积和分形维数的增大而增大。

     

    Abstract: Existing studies on the pore structure of coal and its methane adsorption properties mainly focus on low-rank coal, medium-rank coal, and deep coal seams. However, studies on the pore structure characteristics of anthracite in the northern Guizhou coalfield and their influence on methane adsorption capacity are relatively limited. Moreover, due to the wide pore size distribution, complex morphology, and significant differences in connectivity, a single testing method is insufficient to comprehensively characterize the full pore-size structure of coal. To address these issues, anthracite from northern Guizhou was taken as the research object, and low-temperature CO2 adsorption, low-temperature N2 adsorption–desorption, and high-pressure mercury intrusion experiments were used to characterize micropores (pore size <2 nm), mesopores (2–50 nm), and macropores (>50 nm), respectively. Fractal theory was introduced to quantitatively analyze the experimental data, and the fractal dimensions of micropores, mesopores, and macropores were calculated to reveal the relationships among fractal characteristics, pore structure parameters, and methane adsorption capacity. The results showed that: ① the pore structure of anthracite in northern Guizhou was dominated by micropores and mesopores, with a relatively small proportion of macropores. The specific surface area of micropores accounted for 75.57%–80% of the total specific surface area, and their pore volume fraction was 48.28%–57.35%, making them the primary spaces for methane adsorption. Mesopores played an important transitional role in gas diffusion and migration. ② The fractal dimension of anthracite in northern Guizhou ranged from 2.241 to 2.892, indicating that the pore structure was highly heterogeneous. Micropores had lower fractal dimensions and smoother pore walls, whereas mesopores and macropores had higher fractal dimensions, more complex structures, and greater surface roughness. ③ The methane adsorption capacity of anthracite in northern Guizhou was jointly controlled by the degree of micropore development and pore complexity: the adsorption capacity was stronger when the micropores were more developed, and the fractal dimension was lower. When the pore structure became more complex and the fractal dimension was higher, the adsorption energy distribution became uneven, the number of effective adsorption sites decreased, and the adsorption performance weakened. ④ The Langmuir model fitting results showed that the ultimate methane adsorption capacity of anthracite in northern Guizhou was 25.141–33.922 cm3/g. Methane adsorption capacity was strongly influenced by micropores, increasing with the micropore specific surface area, pore volume, and fractal dimension.
