A Multiscale Structural Analysis of Soft and Hard Coal Deposits in Deep High-Gas Coal Seams by Anying Yuan, Guangsheng Fu, Junling Hou

“…At the same time, fractures were also relatively developed, showing good connectivity. (3) From a micropore structural perspective, it was found that the BET-specific surface areas and BJH-specific surface areas of the soft coal specimens were higher than those of the hard coal specimens, which indicated that the gas adsorption and diffusion migration abilities of the soft coal were greater than those of the hard coal. (4) It was suggested from the study results that the ventilation and gas extraction processes should be strengthened in the mining activities of coal seams with high, soft stratification content. …”
