Coal is an essential fossil fuel in China; however, coal mining and its utilization are being
under the increasing pressure from ecological and environmental protection. Therefore, the …

As an unconventional resource, oil shale possesses abundant reserves and significant
potential for industrial applications. The rational and efficient development of oil shale …

Cleat and permeability altered by CO2 injection are key issues for enhanced coalbed
methane production and CO2 geo-sequestration into unminable coal seams. As the main …

Chinese coal seams are characterized by high gas content and low permeability. The
permeability of coal seams should be improved to achieve maximum extraction of coalbed …

Coalbed methane (CBM) is a clean energy source. The prediction of CBM production is a
critical step during CBM exploitation and utilization, especially for geological well selection …

Soft coal seams are characterized by high gas content, high tectonic stress, low strength,
and low permeability; thus, gas extraction from soft coal seams is rather difficult, and outburst …

Coal-based carbon molecular sieves (CMS) were modified by organic reagents with
affinities for hydrocarbons including tetracosane (C24), lauryl sodium sulfate (SDS), and …

Coal is the most important primary energy in China. Although the proportion of coal in
China's total energy consumption continues to decline it will still be the main energy in …

As the increasing demand for coal and the depletion of shallow coal resources, the tendency
of coal mining in China is progressively shifting to deeper areas, which brings about a …

In this work, three different activated carbons were prepared from low-rank bituminous coal
by KOH activation method. High-pressure methane adsorption tests were conducted to …
