ABSTRACT

To reveal the CO, CO2, and O2 adsorption properties of two bituminous coals at different pressures and temperatures, the molecular unit-cell structures of two types of bituminous coal are constructed (C1180H960O120N20 and C1160H860O80N20) by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The bituminous coal molecular FTIR spectroscopic curve is calculated by quantum chemistry, and the results are consistent with the experimental curve. The isothermal adsorption curves of the single-component gases CO, CO2, and O2 conform to the Langmuir equation from 20 to 60 °C. The adsorption simulations are mainly performed using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) methods. The amount of adsorption decreases with increasing temperature at the same pressure, and CO2 can be the first to reach adsorption saturation at the same temperature. The CO2/CO adsorption selectivity for binary gas mixtures has apparent advantages in low-pressure or shallow buried coal seams. The adsorption selectivity of O2/CO varying under different pressures is not obvious. The high amount of CO inhibits the adsorption capacity of CO2 and O2. In other words, the effect of injecting CO2 to control fire extinguishing in bituminous coal seams with high abnormal CO concentrations is not significant.
