Study on pore structure and gas adsorption characteristics of coals with different burst liability by Zhao LI, Guanhua NI, Wei YANG, Yongzan WEN, Gang WANG, Zhen LIU, Zhenyang WANG

“…The experimental results show that: the microstructural characteristics of the coal body can reflect the degree of macroscopic tectonic damage and the nature of the stress action in the coal seam to a certain extent, and the coal samples with less pore content have stronger impact tendency; the Wangzhuang coal sample is a strong impact tendency coal sample, with the least pore content, a dense structure, stronger hardness and brittleness, and more strain energy accumulated in the process of loading, and the high-stress environment leads to a larger number of micropores in the coal samples; the Tianchi coal sample is a no-impact coal sample, with large pores, and its porousness is larger than that in the coal samples. …”
