The geological sequestration of CO2 in coal seam is a most promising carbon storage technology, which can help achieve the dual goals of CO2 emission reduction and coalbed methane stimulation. Compared with other sealing geological bodies, coal has extremely well-developed micropores. The mechanism of geological sequestration of CO2 in coal seam is closely related to the interaction of coal-gas-water. However, its internal influence mechanism is still unclear. Herein, the models of macromolecular structure and plat pore of the coals were constructed based on the systematic coal petrological analysis and testing of two bituminous coal samples.

Coal Geology & Exploration

CO2 phase transition fracturing (CPTF) is a newly developed technique for coal mine gas control and is characterized by high efficiency, high coal seam permeability, a high gas drainage rate, and outburst elimination. The core of CPTF is reinforced fracturing and the pressure-relief and permeability-enhancement effects of coal seams under high-pressure dynamic loading. Nevertheless, there is a lack of studies on the morphological characteristics and formation mechanisms of newly formed fractures. Current observation and description of the underground fractures on a centimeter-meter scale primarily aim to reveal the fracturing and permeability-enhancement mechanisms of low-permeability coal seams. However, the study …

Coal Geology & Exploration

Hydraulic pressure relief and penetration enhancement technology plays an important role in coal seam gas hozard control, but it is easy to lead to dynamic phenomena such as hole collapse, drill holding and hole spraying during its application in the soft coal seams. Non-hydraulic pressure relief and penetration enhancement is one of the feasible technologies to break through the bottleneck of efficient gas extraction technology in soft coal seams. To this end, the post-mixed abrasive air jet coal breaking and pressure relief technology was proposed with the efficient coal breaking capability of abrasive air jet. Specifically, the abrasive and air …

Coal Geology & Exploration

The occurrence of dynamic disasters in mines, such as rock bursts, is affected by multiple factors and is the result of the coupling of the natural geological dynamic environment and mining engineering disturbances. The characteristics of rock bursts including their time, space, and intensity are related to the regional geological dynamic environment of mines. Different coal fields, mining areas, and mines have different regional geological dynamic environments. Accordingly, some coal mines do not have a geological dynamic environment of rock bursts, while some are subjected to different types of rock bursts. This study proposed an evaluation method for the geological …

The development of geothermal energy in coalfield can not only improve the temperature environment of coal mining, but also turn waste into treasure through the clean utilization of geothermal energy. Especially, it is of great prospect to store energy in the mined-out area of coalfield under the “dual carbon” goal at present. Herein, in this paper, it was estimated that the geothermal reserves in the main coal-bearing areas of China were 1.12 × 1019 kJ, equivalent to 379.539 billion tons of standard coal, and the recoverable geothermal reserves were 1.71 × 1018 kJ, equivalent to 56.931 billion tons …

Unleash The Heat: Exploring Geothermal Energy Perspectives And Energy Literacy In São Miguel, Azores, Lena Mcdonough

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

The green energy transition is moving ahead in EU countries at very different paces, and there are some key challenges that all regions currently face in trying to phase fossil fuels out of their energy mixes. One of these challenges is that most regions simply cannot harness enough renewable energy sources and simultaneously have the storage technology for creating a baseload power source as reliable as oil, coal and natural gas. That is, unless you sit in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on the boundary of three tectonic plates, with a continuous and reliable renewable energy source beneath your …

A Transition Point: The Role Of The Global Power Shift In Facilitating Saudi Internal Reforms, Aidan Aguilar

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

The increasing political and economic influence of China represents a pivotal point within international relations. This paper aims to explore the implications of this global power shift on Saudi Arabia’s attempted economic reforms. The Kingdom’s reliance on oil has created an unsustainable economic model, and this model is intrinsically linked to Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the United States. Its growing relationship with China could create change. As such, this paper analyzes the intersection of economics and security in relation to the Saudi Vision 2030. I argue that, not only does China serve as an important source of the investment necessary …

Diagnostic Gold Deportment Studies And Leaching Behaviour Of Small-Scale Gold Mining Tailings From Eastern Region, Ghana, Ishmael Quaicoe, Martin Beyuo, Solomon Quaicoe, Nikao A. Lasidzi

Journal of Sustainable Mining

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector employs about 80% of the mining workforce but only contributes about 20-30% of Ghana’s gold production. The low gold production is linked to low recoveries associated with the activities because ofinadequate understanding of the chemical, mineralogical and metallurgical characteristics of the ores. This study examined the metallurgical characteristics of typical small-scale gold mining tailings to understand their grinding characteristics, gold deportment and cyanidation behaviour. The gold deportment results showed that 96.1% of the gold in the samples is free milling (can be leached directly with cyanide and recovered through carbon adsorption), whilst the …

Research On Aquifer Water Abundance Evaluation By Borehole Transient Electromagnetic Method Based On Fcnn, Cheng Jiulong, Wang Huijie, Xu Zhongzhong, Huang Qisong, Jiang Guoqing

Coal Geology & Exploration

Predicting the location and water abundance of aquifers by drilling or geophysical methods before tunneling is very important to prevent water disasters in advance for the safety of coal mine production. The use of borehole transient electromagnetic method (BTEM) for advanced detection has obvious advantages. At present, the interpretation method is based on the calculated resistivity to qualitatively analyze rock water abundance, and it is impossible to predict the aquifer water abundance grade. So, the fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) method is proposed to predict the aquifer water abundance grade for BTEM. Firstly, according to the Archie formula, Kozeny-Carman formula, …
