Experiment and analysis on the heterogeneity of CO2 adsorption-transport by microrocks in coal matrix
Guosong Jing, Qian Zhao, Ziqiang Jin

TL;DR
This study uses X-ray CT to analyze how CO2 adsorption varies in coal matrix due to mineral distribution and density differences.
Contribution
The paper reveals the heterogeneity of CO2 adsorption in coal cores influenced by mineral content and density.
Findings
Coal regions with higher mineral content have lower CO2 adsorption capacity.
CO2 concentration decreases linearly along the coal core's axial direction.
Adsorption is highly uneven, shown by significant variations in voxel density before and after gas injection.
Abstract
In order to study gas adsorption performance effected by micro-rock in coal matrix, dual energy X-ray CT was used to calculate the density change of coal core before and after gas injection, which can obtain the CO2 concentration (adsorption amount) in coal core, and reveal the uneven characteristics of CO2 adsorption by minerals. The research results show that coal core in the region where minerals exist has a higher density, while the density of the coal matrix is smaller. Regions with higher coal density (more minerals) have weaker adsorption capacity for CO2. The CO2 concentration in coal core decreases approximately linearly along the axial direction of coal core from the gas injection end to the outlet section. The average voxel density is basically the same at the same coal core section before and after gas injection, which indicates that the coal matrix recovers and approaches…
