Abstract

Selection of the optimal properties of coal as a natural sorbent, both as a sample collected from a seam or of the coal seam itself, requires various parameters to be determined and may not be based on the knowledge of metamorphism degree only. In order to improve the predictions of sorption capacity and the kinetics, analyses of correlation and multiple regression based on the results of laboratory studies were performed for 15 coal samples with various coal rank. The maximum vitrinite reflectance ( R 0 ) for low-rank coals was 0.78%–0.85%, and 0.98%–1.15% and 1.85%–2.03% for medium- and high-rank coals, respectively. Coal samples were subjected to technical and petrographic analysis. The gravimetric method was used to perform sorption tests using methane, in order to determine the sorption capacity and the effective diffusion coefficient for each of the coals. Pycnometric methods were used to determine the textural parameters of coals, such as the percentage porosity and specific pore volume. The studies were further supplemented with an evaluation of the mechanical properties of the coals, Vickers micro-hardness, and elastic modulus. This work shows that the statistical multiple regression method enables a computational model including the selected petrophysical parameters displaying synergy with the specific sorption property—capacity or kinetics—to be created. The results showed the usefulness of this analysis in providing improved predictions of the optimal sorption properties of coal as a natural sorbent.
