Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas adsorption analysis technology, and more specifically, to a coal mechanics and gas adsorption analysis method and system based on nanoindentation. Background Technology
[0002] The adsorption and desorption processes of gas in coal are mainly controlled by the pore and fracture structure characteristics of the coal, including pore size, distribution, connectivity, and the degree of fracture development. These structural parameters directly affect the gas storage space and seepage channels, and are key factors determining the gas migration capacity.
[0003] However, with further research, increasing evidence suggests that the micromechanical properties of coal, such as hardness, elastic modulus, and compressive strength, also significantly influence gas adsorption and migration behavior. These mechanical parameters determine the deformation response and fracture mechanism of coal under stress, thereby regulating the dynamic evolution of the pore and fracture network. For example, elastic deformation of coal under gas pressure changes or external loads alters pore volume, while plastic deformation or brittle fracture may generate new fractures or expand existing ones, significantly affecting the gas desorption rate and seepage path. Currently, there is a lack of effective means to directly link micromechanics with gas dynamics.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for coal mechanics and gas adsorption analysis based on nanoindentation is provided, comprising: The target coal sample was subjected to adsorption-desorption treatment using pre-configured methane gas to obtain initial data. The desorbed target coal sample was then subjected to indentation treatment to obtain micromechanical data. During the adsorption-desorption process, pressure data of methane gas in the pores of the target coal sample were collected using initial data. The pressure change curve of methane gas over time was obtained from this pressure data, and the diffusion coefficient of methane gas at the corresponding pressure was calculated using a diffusion theory model. A coupling model between the micromechanical data of the target coal sample and the gas diffusion behavior was constructed by combining micromechanical data, methane gas diffusion coefficient, and pressure term data. Based on the coupling model, the adsorption-desorption capacity of methane in the target coal sample was calculated, and the correlation analysis results were obtained.
[0007] Preferably, the target coal sample is subjected to adsorption-desorption treatment using pre-configured methane gas to obtain initial data, and the desorbed target coal sample is then subjected to indentation treatment to obtain micromechanical data. The target coal sample is placed in a high-pressure test tank. A vacuum pump is used to extract all the gas from the high-pressure test tank. When the pressure inside the high-pressure test tank reaches 0 MPa, methane gas is injected into the high-pressure test tank to complete the adsorption of the coal sample. After adsorption is complete, free methane gas is released until the gas pressure inside the high-pressure experimental tank is the same as the external atmospheric pressure, and the adsorbed target coal sample is desorbed. Initial data were obtained by scanning and photographing the desorbed target coal sample using an atomic force microscope. The desorbed target coal sample was indented using a nanoindenter. After indentation to a preset depth, the indenter was lifted until it was completely removed from the target coal sample. The three-dimensional morphology data of the indented target coal sample were obtained by scanning and photographing the sample using an atomic force microscope.

[0034] It should be noted that the data logger 17 is located on the outside of the high-pressure experimental tank 16 and is electrically connected to the pressure head 9 and the atomic force microscope 10.
[0035] Specifically, before the analysis experiment begins, the target coal sample is first fixed on the stage 11 using the clamping arm 12, and the adjusting block 13 is controlled to make the horizontal platform 15 and the high-pressure experimental tank 16 at the same level. Then, the vacuum pump 6 is used to extract all the gas in the high-pressure experimental tank 16, so that the experimental environment is in an initial vacuum state. The vacuum pump 6 is then turned off, and the first check valve 3-1 is opened, allowing the methane gas in the methane high-pressure tank 1 to enter the buffer tank 5 through the first pressurization pipe 4-1.
