The presented work is devoted to the study and development of a technique for measuring the parameters of the porous structure of fossil coals in Kuzbass by the adsorption method on an ASAP 2020 analyzer “Micromeritics”. The conditions for sample preparation of samples were selected, which make it possible to record reproducible isotherms of low-temperature adsorption-desorption of nitrogen (77K) by the studied samples of fossil coal of various grades. The obtained isotherms of low-temperature adsorption-desorption of nitrogen were used to determine the textural characteristics of Kuzbass fossil coals by various methods (the specific pore surface area was calculated using the Brunauer-Emmett-Taylor (BET) method; the volume of micropores was determined using the comparative t-Plot method; the mesopore volume was determined using the method of Barrett-Joiner-Halenda (BJH). The obtained values of the textural characteristics of Kuzbass coals of the metamorphism series make it possible to reveal their macro-and microstructural features, to obtain information on the adsorption properties of coal, and can also be used to optimize coal use processes, such as the extraction of methane from coal seams, gasification, combustion, liquefaction, beneficiation, production of metallurgical coke.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
