Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of analytical testing and ecological environment, specifically to a method for analyzing the residual amounts of CH4 and CO2 in coal samples. Background Technology
[0002] CO2 and CH4 are important greenhouse gases. The mining and utilization of fossil fuel coal is a significant source of CO2 and CH4 emissions. Therefore, accurately measuring the CO2 and CH4 content in coal is crucial for controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
[0003] Coal mining and post-mining activities are two key categories of methane escape emissions from my country's coal industry, accounting for a significant proportion of the country's total methane emissions. Post-mining activities mainly refer to the escape emissions of CH4 and CO2 during coal processing, utilization, storage, and transportation. Because coal is mostly in an open or semi-open system, it is difficult to accurately measure the emissions from this process. Currently, the emission factor calculation method is used, which multiplies the coal production over a period of time by the methane emission factor to obtain the methane emissions during that period. The aforementioned standards and guidelines specify default values for the emission factor, but these default values are generally a large regional or national average. This leads to significant discrepancies between the emissions calculated by enterprises using the default values and the actual emissions, especially in low-gas-content mines.
[0004] Patent (201410388831.0) discloses a shale residual gas measurement system, which includes a rock sample sealed crushing device, a residual gas content measuring mechanism, and a computer. This system can achieve everything from the initial rock sample sealed crushing to the final residual gas content measurement. It is highly automated, simple to operate, and provides reliable measurement results. However, its processing capacity is small, and it can only measure under natural pressure, not under negative pressure.
[0005] Patent (202220452860.9) discloses a coal sample gas content measuring device. This device measures the gas content of coal samples under normal pressure. The main feature of this device is the addition of a placement box that fits into the coal sample container, which facilitates the cleaning of the coal sample container. However, the insertion and removal of the coal sample box will cause unmeasurable CH4 and CO2 to escape.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an accurate method for measuring the residual CH4 / CO2 content in coal samples to improve the quality of carbon emission data in the coal industry. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for analyzing the residual amounts of CH4 and CO2 in coal samples based on the characteristics of CO2 and CH4 desorption rates in coal, thereby accurately determining the residual amounts of CH4 / CO2 in coal samples.

[0010] (1) Under normal pressure, the coal sample is placed in a coal sample container for natural desorption, and the amount of gas desorption Q during the natural desorption process is collected and analyzed. 常压自然 ;
[0011] (2) After natural desorption, the crushing mechanism in the coal sample container is activated to crush the coal until more than 60% of the coal sample has a particle size of less than 0.30 mm. The gas desorption amount Q during the crushing process is collected and analyzed. 破碎自然 ;
[0012] (3) The crushed coal sample particles were subjected to desorption under negative pressure conditions, and the amount of gas desorption Q under negative pressure conditions was collected and analyzed. 负压 ;

[0015] The coal samples that can be selected for the analytical method of this invention include coking coal, bituminous coal, long bituminous coal, and lignite.
[0016] In a specific embodiment of the analytical method of the present invention, the natural analytical process described in step (1) is carried out at normal pressure at 60-100°C. In some preferred embodiments, the natural analytical process is carried out at 90-98°C, for example, 92°C, 95°C, or 97°C.
[0017] In some specific implementations, the natural parsing time is at least 0.5 hours, preferably 2 to 4 hours, for example, 3 hours.
[0018] In a specific embodiment of the analytical method of the present invention, the crushing process in step (2) is carried out under normal pressure.
[0019] In the analytical method provided by the present invention, the crushing process in step (2) is stopped when more than 80% (mass percentage) of the coal sample has a particle size of less than 0.25 mm. For example, the crushing process is stopped when more than 85% (mass percentage) of the coal sample has a particle size of less than 0.2 mm.
[0020] In the analytical method provided by the present invention, in step (3), the analytical time is 0.2 to 12 hours under negative pressure, preferably 0.5 to 4 hours, for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.
[0021] In some specific implementations, the negative pressure condition mentioned in step (3) is generally 0.1 to 10 kPa, preferably 1 to 5 kPa, such as 2 kPa, 3 kPa, or 4 kPa.
[0022] The above technical solution achieves the following technical effects:
[0023] The analytical method provided by this invention covers the content of analytical gases released from coal samples during natural analytical, crushing analytical, and negative pressure analytical processes in post-mining activities. Furthermore, it can accurately determine the residual amounts of CH4, CO2, and other gases in coal samples through further analysis.
[0024] The analytical method provided by this invention can realize the quantitative measurement of the analytical process of coal adsorbed gas under different conditions. It also realizes the continuous analytical process of natural analytical process, crush analytical process and negative pressure analytical process, overcoming the disadvantage that natural analytical process and negative pressure analytical process cannot be continuous.
