Abstract EN
Gas diffusion-sorption is a critical step in coalbed methane (CBM) exploitation and carbon dioxide sequestration.
Because of the particularity of gas physical properties, it is difficult to visualize the gas diffusion-sorption process in coal by experimental methods.
Due to the limitation of experimental approaches to image the three-dimensional coal pore structure, it is impossible to obtain the three-dimensional pore structure images of coal.
As a result, the visualization of gas diffusion-sorption in coal pore structure by numerical ways is impossible.
In this study, gas diffusion coefficients were firstly estimated by experiments.
Then, a gas diffusion-sorption coupled model was developed which can be applied to the nanoscale geometry imaged by synchrotron radiation nano-CT.
The dynamic process of gas diffusion and ad-/desorption in the nanoscale microstructure of coal was visualized by the developed gas diffusion-adsorption coupled model and the numerical simulation based on MATLAB.
The simulation results show a good agreement with the experimental results.
The gas diffusion-sorption coupled model and numerical method can help to investigate the effect of microstructure on gas diffusion and ad-/desorption and provides a possibility to investigate the multiscale gas transportation and adsorption in coal pore-fracture system.
