Low Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experimental Study on Gas Adsorption of High-Rank Coals with Different Beddings

In order to deeply study the influence of the coal bedding structure on coal gas adsorption, low nuclear magnetic resonance (LNMR) and a confining pressure loading system were used to carry out the LNMR experiment of gas adsorption of high-rank coals with different beddings under different confining pressures. The results showed that the amount of gas adsorption of high-rank coals with different beddings increases with time and decreases with the increase of confining pressure. In the process from low confining pressure to high confining pressure, the coal sample with oblique bedding (bedding angles 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees) has the largest average increment of gas adsorption, followed by the coal sample with vertical bedding (bedding angle 90 degrees), and the coal sample with parallel bedding has the smallest increment of gas adsorption (bedding angle 0 degrees). The linear function relation between the different-bedding high-rank coal gas adsorption state and the confining pressure is y = a - bx. The relation between the free peak area and the confining pressure conforms to the exponential function y = a + bexp(cx). Different-bedding high-rank coal adsorption peaks and the peak area decrease with the increase of confining pressure, and the free peak continues to move to the left; that is, the large pores gradually shrink. With the increase of angle and bedding, the area of the adsorption peak increases first and then decreases, presenting an "inverted V" shape on the whole. The area of the free peak decreases first and then increases, presenting a "V" shape on the whole.
