摘要Early prevention and control of coal spontaneous combustion have emerged as a critical research area in coal mine safety.Due to their sustainability and environmental friendliness,microorganisms have gained attention.A filamentous fungus was collected in the coal mine and identified as Absidia spinosa.Results indicated that the mycelium effectively covered and repaired many coal pores.The oxygen consumption ratio of A.spinosa was higher in coal-containing environments than in coal-free conditions.The fungus significantly impacted aliphatic functional groups,disrupting bridging bonds and side chains connected to aromatic structures and reducing the relative content of C—O bonds.Additionally,A.spinosa increases the ignition temperature by 25.34℃.The total heat release was decreased by approximately 32.58%,and the activation energies were increased.The genome of Absidia spinosa revealed genes related to oxygen consumption,small molecule degradation,and secretion of metabolic products,such as those annotated under GO ID:0140657,etc.The pathways involved in the degradation of small organic molecules(e.g.,ko00626,etc.),carbon fixation,and nitrogen cycling,all linked to coal decomposition.Through oxygen consumption and the alteration of coal-active structures,A.spinosa effectively inhibits CSC,providing an experimental basis for exploring eco-friendly biological control methods in the goaf.

摘要The prevalence of coal workers'pneumoconiosis(CWP)has been on the rise among U.S.coal miners since the early 2000s and is most pronounced in central Appalachia.Such adverse effects on human health are partly linked to the toxicity of respirable coal mine dust particles.In this review,we present an overview of the characteristics and health effects of the coal dust components,as well as the origin,chemistry,and mechanisms for their potential toxicity.Toxicity of coal mine dust is linked to the surface chemistry and bioactivity of the composing particles,such as coal,crystalline silica(quartz),pyrite,and sometimes diesel particulate matter.Formation of reactive oxygen species,such as·OH on the surface of these particles,contributes to the toxicity of coal dust.Various mechanisms including the metal-micelle coating,polymer-coating,chelation of the surface metal ions,and surface silanization,have been proposed in previous studies for the reduction or inhibition of the toxicity of coal dust particles.However,due to the complexity in surface chemistry of the various minerals and coal,there is no single universal detoxification mechanism for coal dust.One feasible remedy to address the proposed mechanisms of toxicity is the use of chemical additives as wetting agents.Important considerations for this approach include particle size and aging,mineralogy,morphology,chemical composition,solubility,surface charge,and synergistic effects of the composing phases.Additional factors to consider are the solution quality and composition,coal rank,and the potential hazards and costs associated with the chosen chemical agents.

摘要Roof pre-fracture poses a considerable risk during the re-mining of residual coal above abandoned roadways,threatening the safety of the mining faces.This study employs a Winkler foundation beam model for mechanical analysis of roof structures and adopts a multivariate nonlinear analysis approach to explore the synergistic load-bearing effects within the'coal pillar-support-backfill body'system during the fill and re-mining processes above these roadways.The findings demonstrate that backfill mining significantly reduces stress concentrations in coal pillars and reduces excessive bending moments in roofs near abandoned roadways.The roof deflection equation incorporates three critical factors affecting stability during backfill mining:the width of the coal pillar(L3),the working resistance of the support(qz),and the elastic foundation coefficient of the backfill material(kcÞ.Under single-factor conditions,the impact sequence on roof stability in the coal pillar zone is·kc>L3>qz.Further,multivariate nonlinear analysis reveals the interactions within the'coal-support-backfill'structure,indicating that in terms of roof control,the interaction terms are ordered as L3·kc>qz·kc>L3qz.Therefore,priority should be given to adjusting the coal pillar width and backfill strength,followed by modifications to the support resistance and backfill strength during the recovery of abandoned roadways.An improved understanding of these interactions will help optimize strategies for the recovery of residual coal through abandoned roadways,thereby enhancing the stability and safety of mining operations under complex geological conditions.

摘要Based on the data of regional geology,seismic,drilling,logging and production performance obtained from 94 major petroliferous basins worldwide,the global coal resources were screened and statistically analyzed.Then,using established definition methods and evaluation criteria for coal-rock gas in China,and by analogy with the tectono-sedimentary and burial-thermal evolution conditions of coal rocks in sedimentary basins within China,the geological resource potential of global coal-rock gas was estimated mainly by the volume method,partly by the volumetric method in selected regions.According to the evaluation indicator system comprising 14 parameters under 5 categories and the associated scoring criteria,the target basins were ranked,and the future research targets for these basins were proposed.The results reveal that,globally,coal rocks are primarily formed in four types of swamp environments within four categories of prototype basins,and distributed across five major coal-forming periods and eight coal-accumulation belts.The total geological coal resources are estimated at approximately 42×1012t,including 22×1012t in the strata deeper than 1500 m.The global geological coal-rock gas resources in deep strata are roughly 232×1012m3,of which over 90%are endowed in Russia,Canada,the United States,China and Australia,with China contributing 24%.The top 10 basins by coal-rock gas resource endowment,i.e.Alberta,Kuznetsk,Ordos,East Siberian,Bowen,West Siberian,Sichuan,South Turgay,Lena-Vilyuy and Tarim,collectively hold 75%of the global total.The Permian,Cretaceous,Carboniferous,Jurassic,and Paleogene-Neogene account for 32%,30%,18%,10%,and 7%of total coal-rock gas resources,respectively.The 10 most practical basins for future coal-rock gas exploration and development are identified as Alberta,Ordos,Kuznetsk,San Juan,Sichuan,East Siberian,Rocky Mountain,Bowen,Junggar and Qinshui.Propelled by successful development practices in China,coal-rock gas is now entering a phase of theoretical breakthrough,technological innovation,and rapid production growth,positioning it to spearhead the next wave of the global unconventional oil and gas revolution.

摘要There is a lack of systematic understanding of coal-forming environment classification and its influences on coal petrological characteristics,a coal-forming mire classification scheme applicable to the petroleum industry is proposed based on modern ecological peatland frameworks.The formation,evolutionary processes,and diagnostic criteria of coal-forming environments are systematically clarified.The results show that:(1)modern peatlands can be classified according to hydrological conditions,vegetation types,and geomorphic settings,and coal-forming mires can be divided into low moor,transitional,and high moor peat mires based on geomorphology;(2)the development of coal-forming environments includes three modes:subaqueous peat infilling,autochthonous peat accumulation in wetlands,and mire development in arid regions;(3)peat accumulation is jointly controlled by plant production and decomposition,hydrological disturbances,and sediment input,and the peat-to-coal thickness ratio varies with coalification;(4)diagnostic criteria for low moor,transitional,and high moor peat mires are established based on ash yield,gamma-ray log responses,and vitrinite-to-inertinite ratios;and(5)transgression-regression processes exert a key control on peat mire evolution,directly influencing peat thickness and continuity,while the evolution of low moor,transitional,and high moor mires governs coal maceral assemblages and thereby affects hydrocarbon generation potential and reservoir properties of coals.The coal-forming environment classification and identification system developed in this study effectively reveals the vertical heterogeneity of coals in the Ordos Basin,providing theoretical and practical guidance for efficient exploration and development of coal-rock gas.

摘要Si/Al-rich coal ash tends to generate refractory minerals during gasification,leading to elevated ash fusion temperatures(AFTs)and viscosity.This increases the risk of slagging in entrained-flow gasifiers.Previous studies have reported that the regulation mechanism of high-alumina coal(HAC)by low-AFT coal and transformation of corundum and mullite into eutectic are key factors in improving ash fusibility.However,coal ash has a complex composition,and other components of HAC may affect the melting transformation paths of minerals.In this study,high-purity corundum and mullite were introduced into ash,and the changes during the heating process of coal ash with minerals were investigated.The melting behaviour of two minerals and their impact on the melt structure at high temperature were examined to explain the effect of the two minerals on ash fusibility.The results indicate that increasing the corundum residue in the coal ash,leading to elevated AFTs.Variations in the corundum residue were closely related to the transformation paths of the two minerals during melting.Mullite decomposed into the planar laminar structure(Q3)of Si-O network structures during instantaneous heating.The Q3 species migrated into the coal ash melt,increasing the Al concentration gradient between the liquid phase and corundum derived from mullite;by contrast,the added corundum developed a boundary layer upon corrosion by the molten phase,reducing the Al concentration gradient in solid—liquid phases and increasing the decomposition time of corundum.The interaction between the mineral and liquid phases in coal ash formed a corundum-containing suspension during the melting process,thereby increasing the AFT of ash.Therefore,promoting mullite formation instead of corundum in HAC helps lower AFT for gasification.

摘要Understanding the creep deformation behavior and the evolution of pore-fracture structures(FPSs)in coal under cyclic loading-unloading is crucial for safe extraction and efficient methane utilization.Coal samples were subjected to cyclic loading-unloading creep experiments using online Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR)and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging(NMRI)techniques.The results revealed the significance of instantaneous plastic and viscoplastic strains during creep,with creep failure modes analyzed using NMRI data and macroscopic fracture distribution.Viscoplastic strain was identified as a key indicator of accelerated failure,and NMRI revealed a transition from splitting-shear to V-shaped shear failure under increasing confining pressure.From a microscopic perspective,real-time T2 spectra monitoring tracked the evolution of FPS at different loading levels,and the geometric mean of the pore structure(T2g)quantitatively described the co-evolution of various pore types.A generalized model was developed to describe coal creep under cyclic loading-unloading,integrating microscopic and macroscopic deformation features and refined using fractal theory.These findings provide theoretical insights and practical guidance for coal extraction and methane management under cyclic loading-unloading creep.

摘要Plasma underground coal gasification(PUCG)facilitates targeted carbon reduction reactions,tackling CO2 emissions and effectively generating syngas that is rich in H2 and CO.The mineralogical properties are essential for determining gasification parameters,managing production,and assessing environmental stability.PUCG operates under high temperatures and a strong reducing atmosphere,which significantly affects mineral transformation,yet this field is still not extensively studied.In this work,PUCG ash slag from various coal types and ash compositions was created.The study investigated mineral transformation,melting behavior,and crystallization characteristics using X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy,and FactSage software.Findings reveal that the syngas concentration during PUCG can reach to 88%(volume fraction),with peak temperatures ranging from 3806 to 6569 K and average temperatures between 1391 and 1935 K.In high-silica-alumina coal ash slag,the predominant mineral is mullite,while high-calcium/iron coal ash slag contains gehlenite,hedenbergite,and wüstite.The strong reducing atmosphere results in a Fe+Fe2+/ΣFe ratio to~1.0,compared to<0.5 under weak reducing conditions,causing a 103 K difference between the complete melting temperature(CMT)of high-iron coal and the flow temperature(FT)under weak reducing conditions.An excess of SiO2 in high-silica-alumina coal hinders the melting of mullite,resulting in a deviation of up to 340 K between CMT and FT.The minerals in high-calcium/iron coal undergo decomposition,transformation,complete melting,and recrystallization.Elemental iron serves as a stable nucleation site,while high energy density provides the necessary temperature and duration for molten minerals recrystallization.
