Abstract:
To study the characteristics of CH
4 replacement by CO
2 under isobaric diffusion, samples of metamorphic coal, anthracite, lean coal and gas-fat coal were selected to carry out experiment of isobaric diffusion replacement under different isobaric diffusion pressure. Experimental results show that with the increase of coal metamorphism, the CH
4 and CO
2 adsorption capacity of coal is gradually enhanced, and the CO
2 adsorption capacity of coal is greater than CH
4; with the increase of diffusion pressure at the experimental point, the absolute volume and replacement rate of CO
2 for CH
4 increases, but the CH
4 replacement ratio of CO
2 injection decreases. In the range of the metamorphic degree of the experimental coal samples, the CH
4 replacement rate is negatively correlated with the coal metamorphism degree and ratio of replacement to CO
2 injection. The research results have guiding significance for the engineering technology and the theory of CH
4 replacement by injecting CO
2 into coal seam.
