"Effect of particle size on gas energy release for tectonic coal during" by Qingyi Tu, Yuanping Cheng et al.
Based on the particle size evolution of tectonic coal in formation process, the differences between tectonic coal and intact coal in pore structure and initial gas desorption characteristics were studied. Then, the influences of particle size reduction on pore structure and initial gas desorption characteristics were investigated; and the initial gas energy release model was derived, which was used to calculate the gas expansion energy of tectonic coals with different particle sizes. This study concludes that the particle size of tectonic coal will be reduced under the pulverization effect dur...
