Low rank coals are generally featured with a high water content which exerts strong
influences onto their utilization including pyrolysis, gasification, liquefaction and combustion …

This article reviews the state of research on sorption of gases (CO2, CH4) and water on coal
for primary recovery of coalbed methane (CBM), secondary recovery by an enhancement …

Steam injection is a novel and promising technology for enhancing coalbed methane (CBM)
recovery. Accurate descriptions of the migration and adsorption of water vapor on coal is …

The biggest obstacle to the widespread implementation of polymer electrolyte membrane
fuel cells (PEMFCs) is their cost, primarily due to the use of platinum catalysts. The high …

Globally, low rank coals are responsible for about half of the world's total coal deposits.
However, these low rank coals present a high moisture content, which significantly impacts …

Water is widely distributed in coal under the in-situ reservoir conditions, which has a great
impact on gas adsorption and migration within coal. In this work, methane sorption behavior …

Coal-water interactions have profound influences on gas extraction from coal and coal
utilization. Experimental measurements on three coals using X-ray photoelectron …

Although numerous studies were conducted on coal utilisation processes overall, due to the
recent expansion of the coal industry, processes which involve within the reservoir bares a …

Finding an optimized adsorption model to estimate the true adsorbed quantity of methane in
shale at reservoir conditions is fundamental for estimating the gas-in-place (GIP), and …

Coal gangue (CG) is a kind of solid waste discharged from the process of coal mining and
washing without efficient utilization. Motivated by using the CG as supplementary …
