Coal mine methane (CMM) is a term given to the methane gas produced or emitted in
association with coal mining activities either from the coal seam itself or from other gassy …

This paper presents reviews of studies on properties of coal pertinent to carbon dioxide (CO
2) sequestration in coal with specific reference to Victorian brown coals. The coal basins in …

Coal has a heterogenous porosity that influences its specific surface area (SSA) and CH 4
adsorption and desorption. However, the pore size distribution obtained with N 2 adsorption …

The behavior and effect of different coal lithotypes during sequestration of carbon dioxide
(CO2) into coal seams are important knowledge gaps when modeling sequestration …

Coal mines have sudden, usually unexpected expulsions of gas in conjunction with coal into
the mine workings. The gas is mainly consisted of methane making this so-called coal and …

Complete sorption isotherm characteristics of methane and CO2 were studied on fourteen
sub-bituminous to high-volatile bituminous Indian Gondwana coals. The mean vitrinite …

The macropore volume, micropore volume and surface area of Carboniferous bituminous
coals from the Zonguldak basin in northwestern Turkey have been determined. Furthermore …

The pore structure of coal has a “U-shaped” relation with coal rank. Adsorption pores (pore
size smaller than 2 nm) and seepage pores (2 nm< pore size< 50 nm) greatly influence gas …

There exist complex interactions between coal and CO2 during the process of CO2
sequestration in coal seams with enhanced coalbed methane recovery (CO2-ECBM). This …

Coal and gas outbursts have been a major geological hazard to underground coal mining
for over 150 years and continue to cause serious problems in all over the world. In order to …
