Experimental study on the microscopic characteristics affecting methane adsorption on anthracite coal treated with high-voltage electrical pulses by Chuan-jie Zhu, Ximiao Lu, Bai-quan Lin, Fa-zhi Yan, Chang Guo, Yi-du Hong, Xiang-liang Zhang

“…We find that C, O, and other coal elements constituting oxygenic groups, which mainly account for gas adsorption, decreased slightly after high-voltage electrical pulse treatment, indicating that elemental variation may have little influence on gas adsorption. The scanning electron microscopy and low-pressure nitrogen gas adsorption (LP-N 2 GA) results show that the cumulative micropore volumes of high-voltage electrical pulse-treated coals were much larger than those of original coals. …”
