The coal pillar resource of the main roadway and its branch roadway constitutes a significant recovery subject. Its coal pillar shape is regular and possesses a considerable strike distance, facilitating the arrangement of the coal pillar recovery working face (CPRWF) for mining operations. However, for the remaining coal pillars with a thick and hard roof (THF) and multiple tectonic zones, CPRWF encounters challenges in selecting an appropriate layout, managing excessive roof pressure, and predicting mining stress. Aiming at the roadway coal pillar group with THF and multi-structural areas in specific projects, a method of constructing multi-stage CPRWF by one side gob-side entry driving (GSED) and one side roadway reusing is proposed. Through theoretical calculation of roof fracture and numerical simulation verification, combined with field engineering experience and economic analysis, the width of the narrow coal pillar (NCP) in the GSED is determined to be 10 m and the length of the CPRWF is 65 m. Concurrently, the potential safety hazard that the roof will fall asymmetrically and THF is difficult to break during CPRWF mining after GSED is analyzed and verified. Then, a control method involving the pre-cutting of the roof in the reused roadway before mining is proposed. This method has been shown to facilitate the complete collapse of THF, reduce the degree of mine pressure, and facilitate the symmetrical breaking of the roof. Accordingly, a roof-cutting scheme based on a directional drilling rig, bidirectional shaped polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, and emulsion explosive was devised, and the pre-splitting of 8.2 m THF was accomplished. Field observations indicate that directional cracks are evident in the roof, the coal wall is flat during CPRWF mining, and the overall level of mining pressure is within the control range. Therefore, the combined application of GSED and roof-cutting technology for coal pillar recovery has been successfully implemented, thereby providing new insights and engineering references for the construction and pressure relief mining of CPRWF.展开更多

文摘To deepen understanding of the evolution of coal char microstructural properties of coal char during the co-pyrolysis of coking coal with additives,this study incorporated two typical additives,coal tar pitch(CTP)and waste plastic(HDPE),into a blended coal sample and carried out pyrolysis experiments.The pyrolysis process and the microstructure of char were systematically characterized using various analytical techniques,including thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and Raman spectroscopy.Data correlation analysis was performed to reveal the mechanism of carbon structural ordering evolution within the critical temperature range(350−600℃)from colloidal layer formation to semi-coke conversion in coking coal,and to elucidate the regulatory effects of different additives on coal pyrolysis pathways.The results indicate that HDPE releases free radicals during high-temperature pyrolysis,accelerating the pyrolysis reaction and increase the yield of volatile components.Conversely,CTP facilitates pyrolysis at low temperatures through its light components,thereby delaying high-temperature reactions due to the colloidal layer’s effect.XRD results indicate that during the process of pyrolysis,there is a progressive decrease in the interlayer spacing of aromatic layers(d002),while the aromatic ring stacking height(L_(c))and lateral size(L_(a))undergo significant of carbon skeleton ordering.Further comparative reveals that CTP partially suppresses structural ordering at low temperatures,whereas HDPE promotes the condensation and alignment of aromatic clusters via a free radical mechanism.Raman spectroscopy reveals a two-stage reorganization mechanism in the microstructure of the coal char:the decrease in the I_(D)/I_(G)ratio between 350 and 550℃is primarily attributed to the cleavage of aliphatic side chains and cross-linking bonds,leading to a reduction in defective structures;whereas the increase in ID/IG between 550 and 600℃is closely associated with enhanced condensation reactions of aromatic structures.Correlation analysis further demonstrates progressive graphitization during pyrolysis,with a significant positive correlation(R^(2)>0.85)observed between d002 and the full width at half maximum of the G-band(FWHM-G).

文摘Foliar uptake of airborne metal(loid)s plays a crucial role in metal(loid)accumulation in plant organs and is influ-enced by the size and emission sources of aerosols.Given the high enrichment of toxic metal(loid)s in submicron-scale particulates(PM1),this study established a PM1 exposure system to examine airborne metal(loid)accu-mulation and foliar physiological responses in Oryza sativa L.The results showed that the concentrations of Cu,Zn,As,Pb,and Cd in the leaves and grains were influenced not only by the airborne metal(loid)levels but also by the specific nature of the PM1 particles.The quantitative model for PM1-associated Pb entry into leaf tissue indicated that foliar Pb accumulation was primarily driven by particle adhesion,followed by hydrophilic pene-tration and trans-stomatal liquid film migration,accounting for 87%–89%of the total accumulation.The strong hygroscopicity and high Pb activity of PM1 emitted from waste incineration(WI)increased the Pb absorption coefficient via the hydrophilic and liquid film migration pathway.In contrast,the high hydrophobicity of PM1 from coal burning(CB)led to greater retention of Pb on leaf surfaces.Both foliar reactive oxygen metabolism and photosynthesis indices were sensitive to air pollution.Foliar metal(loid)accumulation and airborne PM1 concentration accounted for the variance in physiological responses in rice leaves.Our results also indicated that Pb was the key element in PM1 emissions from both coal burning(CB)and waste incineration(WI)responsible for significant physiological changes in rice leaves.

文摘A coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical cohesive phase-field model for hydraulic fracturing in deep coal seams is presented.Heat exchange between the cold fluid and the hot rock is considered,and the thermal contribution terms between the cold fluid and the hot rock are derived.Heat transfer obeys Fourier's law,and porosity is used to relate the thermodynamic parameters of the fracture and matrix domains.The net pressure difference between the fracture and the matrix is neglected,and thus the fluid flow is modeled by the unified fluid-governing equations.The evolution equations of porosity and Biot's coefficient during hydraulic fracturing are derived from their definitions.The effect of coal cleats is considered and modeled by Voronoi polygons,and this approach is shown to have high accuracy.The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by two sets of fracturing experiments in multilayer coal seams.Subsequently,the differences in fracture morphology,fluid pressure response,and fluid pressure distribution between direct fracturing of coal seams and indirect fracturing of shale interlayers are explored,and the effects of the cluster number and cluster spacing on fracture morphology for multi-cluster fracturing are also examined.The numerical results show that the proposed model is expected to be a powerful tool for the fracturing design and optimization of deep coalbed methane.

文摘Gas content serves as a critical indicator for assessing the resource potential of deep coal mines and forecasting coal mine gas outburst risks.However,existing sampling technologies face challenges in maintaining the integrity of gas content within samples and are often constrained by estimation errors inherent in empirical formulas,which results in inaccurate gas content measurements.This study introduces a lightweight,in-situ pressure-and gas-preserved corer designed to collect coal samples under the pressure conditions at the sampling point,effectively preventing gas loss during transfer and significantly improving measurement accuracy.Additionally,a gas migration model for deep coal mines was developed to elucidate gas migration characteristics under pressure-preserved coring conditions.The model offers valuable insights for optimizing coring parameters,demonstrating that both minimizing the coring hole diameter and reducing the pressure difference between the coring-point pressure and the original pore pressure can effectively improve the precision of gas content measurements.Coring tests conducted at an experimental base validated the performance of the corer and its effectiveness in sample collection.Furthermore,successful horizontal coring tests conducted in an underground coal mine roadway demonstrated that the measured gas content using pressure-preserved coring was 34%higher than that obtained through open sampling methods.

文摘Coal measures are significant hydrocarbon source rocks and reservoirs in petroliferous basins.Many large gas fields and coalbed methane fields globally are originated from coal-measure source rocks or accumulated in coal rocks.Inspired by the discovery of shale oil and gas,and guided by“the overall exploration concept of considering coal rock as reservoir”,breakthroughs in the exploration and development of coal-rock gas have been achieved in deep coal seams with favorable preservation conditions,thereby opening up a new development frontier for the unconventional gas in coal-rock reservoirs.Based on the data from exploration and development practices,a systematic study on the accumulation mechanism of coal-rock gas has been conducted.The mechanisms of“three fields”controlling coal-rock gas accumulation are revealed.It is confirmed that the coal-rock gas is different from CBM in accumulation process.The whole petroleum systems in the Carboniferous–Permian transitional facies coal measures of the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin and in the Jurassic continental facies coal measures of the Junggar Basin are characterized,and the key research directions for further developing the whole petroleum system theory of coal measures are proposed.Coal rocks,compared to shale,possess intense hydrocarbon generation potential,strong adsorption capacity,dual-medium reservoir properties,and partial or weak oil and gas self-sealing capacity.Additionally,unlike other unconventional gas such as shale gas and tight gas,coal-rock gas exhibits more complex accumulation characteristics,and its accumulation requires a certain coal-rock play form lithological and structural traps.Coal-rock gas also has the characteristics of conventional fractured gas reservoirs.Compared with the basic theory and model of the whole petroleum system established based on detrital rock formations,coal measures have distinct characteristics and differences in coal-rock reservoirs and source-reservoir coupling.The whole petroleum system of coal measures is composed of various types of coal-measure hydrocarbon plays with coal(and dark shale)in coal measures as source rock and reservoir,and with adjacent tight layers as reservoirs or cap or transport layers.Under the action of source-reservoir coupling,coal-rock gas is accumulated in coal-rock reservoirs with good preservation conditions,tight oil/gas is accumulated in tight layers,conventional oil/gas is accumulated in traps far away from sources,and coalbed methane is accumulated in coal-rock reservoirs damaged by later geological processes.The proposed whole petroleum system of coal measures represents a novel type of whole petroleum system.

文摘In this study,to better decide the effect of coal seam dip angle upon the dynamic change of the crossfusion in gas transport and storage areas during the progress of working face in the high gas thick coal seam,a two-dimensional physical simulation experiment regarded as the theoretical research was conducted to properly explore the variation law of overburden fracture.The results demonstrated that the boundary of the gas transport zone was located in the region of fracture separation.The boundary of the gas storage area was located in the abrupt penetration zone.Also,according to the information theory,the state of the gas transport and storage areas was determined by the changing trend of the fracture rate and fracture entropy.The mathematical representation model of the dip effect in gas transport and storage areas was established.The criteria upon which the regional location of the gas transport area and gas storage area can be based were put forward.The cross-fusion evolution process of the dip effect in gas transport and storage areas was revealed as well.The research results could provide guidance for realising directional and accurate gas extraction.

文摘The complex and diverse nature of coal mining sites,including different landforms and working conditions,presents challenges for rehabilitation efforts.To address this,we conducted a comprehensive experimental study focusing on microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation(MICP)remediation,considering the fracture characteristics of coal mining sites.The MICP-restored samples were subjected to confined/unconfined compressive strength,uniaxial/triaxial permeability,and souring tests to assess their restoration efficacy.The results showed that under similar mining conditions,the average depth of parallel fractures was 0.185 m for loess ridges,0.16 m for the valley,and 0.146 m for the blown-sand region,while the average depth for boundary fractures was 0.411 m for loess ridges,0.178 m for the valley,and 0.268 m for the blown-sand region.Notably,parallel fractures showed negligible filling in all landforms,whereas boundary fractures in the blown-sand region were completely filled with wind-deposited sand.The valley landform was filled with alluvium and wind-deposited sand,whereas the loess landform was filled with wind-deposited sand and loess.MICP-restored soil samples in all landforms achieved a strength comparable to remolded fracture-free soil samples.Across all landforms,the maximum permeability coefficient of MICP-restored soil samples closely matched that of remolded fracture-free soil samples.Under similar topographic and rainfall conditions MICP restorations scoured 31.3 g on blown-sand region,19.3 g on loess ridges,and 17.6 g on valleys.These research findings provide an experimental foundation for MICP repair of coal mining ground fractures.

文摘Hydrogen displays the potential to partially replace pulverized coal injection(PCI)in the blast furnace,and it can reduce CO_(2)emissions.In this paper,a three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen and pulverized coal co-injection in blast furnace tuyere was established through numerical simulation,and the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on pulverized coal combustion and raceway smelting was investigated.The simulation results indicate that when the coal injection rate decreased from 36 to 30t/h and the hydrogen injection increased from 0 to 3600 m^(3)/h,the CO_(2)emissions decreased from 1860 to 1551 kg/t,which represents a16.6%reduction,and the pulverized coal burnout decreased from 70.1%to 63.7%.The heat released from hydrogen combustion can not only promote the volatilization of pulverized coal but also affect the combustion reaction between volatilization and oxygen,which resulted in a decrease in the temperature at the end of the raceway.Co-injection of hydrogen with PCI increased the wall temperature near the upper half part of the raceway and at the outlet of the tuyere,which required a high cooling efficiency to extend the service life of the blast furnace.The increase in oxygen level compensated for the decreased average temperature in the raceway due to hydrogen injection.The increase in the oxygen content by 3%while maintaining constant hydrogen and PCI injection rates increased the burnout and average raceway temperature by 4.2%and 43 K,respectively.The mole fraction of CO and H_(2) production increased by 0.04 and 0.02,respectively.Burnout can be improved through optimization of the particle size distribution of pulverized coal.

文摘Recycling rare earth elements(REEs)from waste is necessary for an environmentally sustainable reuse and wastewater management approach.Na-A zeolite was synthesized from coal fly ash(CFA)and applied for Ce^(3+)adsorption.Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectra show peaks at 790,500 and 467 cm^(-1),which are bond vibrations of Si-O-Si,Si with Al-O and Si-O-.The surface area is 15.88 m^(2)/g,with a pore size of 2.14 nm.SEM images show a cubic shape,which indicates the formation of zeolite.Field emission and energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS)shows the formation of Si,Al,Na,and O.Na-A zeolite was applied for Ce^(3+)adsorption.The optimum conditions for Ce^(3+)adsorption are 50 ppm concentration,360 min,and pH 6.The maximum adsorption capacity is 176.49 mg/g.Based on the results,it is found that the adsorption of Ce^(3+)by Na-A zeolite is pseudo-second-order.The desorption test using HNO_(3) is more effective than using HCl and H_(2)SO_(4).A desorption efficiency of 97.22%is obtained at 4 cycles.Adsorption test using real sample wastewater demonstrates an adsorption efficiency of 83.35%.

文摘Geological sequestration of CO_(2)is critical for deep decarbonization,but the geomechanical stability of coal reservoirs remains a major challenge.This study integrates nanoindentation,XRD/SEM-EDS chemo physical characterization and 4D CT visualization to investigate the time-evolving mechanical degradation of bituminous coals with ScCO_(2)injection.The main results show that 4 d of ScCO_(2)treatment caused 50.47%–80.99%increase in load–displacement deformation and 26.92%–76.17%increase in creep depth at peak load,accompanied by 55.01%–63.38%loss in elastic modulus and 52.83%–74.81%reduction in hardness.The degradation exhibited biphasic kinetics,characterized by rapid surface-driven weakening(0–2 d),followed by stabilized matrix-scale pore homogenization(2–4 d).ScCO_(2)preferentially dissolved carbonate minerals(dolomite),driving pore network expansion and interfacial debonding,while silicate minerals resisted dissolution but promoted structural homogenization.These coupled geochemical-mechanical processes reduced the mechanical heterogeneity of the coal and altered its failure modes.The results establish a predictive framework for reservoir stability assessment and provide actionable insights for optimizing CO_(2)enhanced coalbed methane recovery.

文摘The hydraulic fractures induced in soft coal composite reservoirs have complex extension and energy evolution characteristics.In this study,the mechanism whereby gas outbursts can be eliminated by hydraulic fracturing was revealed.The combined fracturing process of a coal seam and its roof under different in situ stress and fracture spacing conditions was analysed through true triaxial physical tests and numerical simulations.The results showed that the pre-fracturing of the roof had a pressure relief effect on the coal seam,and the secondary pressure relief of the coal seam could be completed at a lower fracture initiation pressure.To ensure the continued presence of the stress shadow effect in actual projects,the fracture spacing should be maintained within the critical range influencing the fracture extension.If the vertical stress is high,a call on increasing the fracture spacing can be taken;otherwise,it must be reduced.In the early phase of fracturing,energy is mostly concentrated at the tip and surface of the fracture;however,the proportion of surface energy for subsequent fracturing is gradually reduced,and the energy is mostly used to open the formation and work on the surrounding matrix.Hydraulic fracturing creates new fractures to interconnect originally heterogeneously distributed gas zones,enabling the entire coal seam to first establish interconnected pressure equilibration,then undergo gradientcontrolled depressurization.Hydraulic fracturing can homogenize the stress field and gas pressure field in the original coal seam via communication pressure equalization and reduction decompression,reduce the elastic and extension energies,increase the minimum failure energy required for instability;and realize the elimination of gas outbursts.Our findings provide some theoretical support for the efficient development of coalbed methane and the prevention and control of dynamic gas disasters in coal mines.

文摘To more accurately describe the coal damage and fracture evolution law during liquid nitrogen(LN_(2))fracturing under true triaxial stress,a thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-damage(THMD)coupling model for LN_(2) fracturing coal was developed,considering the coal heterogeneity and thermophysical parameters of nitrogen.The accuracy and applicability of model were verified by comparing with LN_(2) injection pre-cooling and fracturing experimental data.The effects of different pre-cooling times and horizontal stress ratios on coal damage evolution,permeability,temperature distribution,and fracture characteristics were analyzed.The results show that the permeability and damage of the coal increase exponentially,while the temperature decreases exponentially during the fracturing process.As the pre-cooling time increases,the damage range of the coal expands,and the fracture propagation becomes more pronounced.The initiation pressure and rupture pressure decrease and tend to stabilize with longer precooling times.As the horizontal stress ratio increases,fractures preferentially extend along the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress,leading to a significant decrease in both initiation and rupture pressures.At a horizontal stress ratio of 3,the initiation pressure drops by 48.07%,and the rupture pressure decreases by 41.36%.The results provide a theoretical basis for optimizing LN_(2) fracturing techniques and improving coal seam modification.

文摘The Kuye River Basin has experienced a rapid depletion of groundwater due to the increased coal production.In this study,by introducing the empirical equations derived from the three zone theory in the coal mining industry in China as a boundary condition,a calculation model was developed by coupling the soil and water assessment tool and visual modular three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water flow model(SWAT-VISUAL MODFLOW).The model was applied to several coal mines in the basin to quantify the groundwater impact of underground mining.For illustration purposes,two underground water observation stations and one water level station were selected for groundwater change simulation in 2009,producing the results that agreed well with the observed data.We found that groundwater level was closely related to the height of the fractured water-conducting zone caused by underground mining,and a higher height led to a lower groundwater level.This finding was further supported by the calculation that underground mining was responsible for 23.20mm aquifer breakages in 2009.Thus,preventing surface subsidence due to underground mining can help protecting the basin's groundwater.

文摘To enhance the recuperation rate of the mine and comply with the stipulations of green mining technology, it is vital to expeditiously recuperate the coal pillar resources in the final stage, thus preventing the considerable squandering of resources. The coal pillar resource of the main roadway and its branch roadway constitutes a significant recovery subject. Its coal pillar shape is regular and possesses a considerable strike distance, facilitating the arrangement of the coal pillar recovery working face (CPRWF) for mining operations. However, for the remaining coal pillars with a thick and hard roof (THF) and multiple tectonic zones, CPRWF encounters challenges in selecting an appropriate layout, managing excessive roof pressure, and predicting mining stress. Aiming at the roadway coal pillar group with THF and multi-structural areas in specific projects, a method of constructing multi-stage CPRWF by one side gob-side entry driving (GSED) and one side roadway reusing is proposed. Through theoretical calculation of roof fracture and numerical simulation verification, combined with field engineering experience and economic analysis, the width of the narrow coal pillar (NCP) in the GSED is determined to be 10 m and the length of the CPRWF is 65 m. Concurrently, the potential safety hazard that the roof will fall asymmetrically and THF is difficult to break during CPRWF mining after GSED is analyzed and verified. Then, a control method involving the pre-cutting of the roof in the reused roadway before mining is proposed. This method has been shown to facilitate the complete collapse of THF, reduce the degree of mine pressure, and facilitate the symmetrical breaking of the roof. Accordingly, a roof-cutting scheme based on a directional drilling rig, bidirectional shaped polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, and emulsion explosive was devised, and the pre-splitting of 8.2 m THF was accomplished. Field observations indicate that directional cracks are evident in the roof, the coal wall is flat during CPRWF mining, and the overall level of mining pressure is within the control range. Therefore, the combined application of GSED and roof-cutting technology for coal pillar recovery has been successfully implemented, thereby providing new insights and engineering references for the construction and pressure relief mining of CPRWF.

文摘As the mine depth around the world increases,the temperature of the surrounding rock of the mining workface increases significantly.To control the heat hazards,the hot water in the mining floor is developed during mining to decrease the min-ing workface temperature while also developing geothermal energy.This method is called the co-exploitation of mine and geothermal energy(CMGE).The geothermal development may precipitate the large-scale failure of the nearby fault zone during the mining process.However,the evolution of shear slide and shear failure of fault under geothermal production/rein-jection during mining is missing.Therefore,a fully-coupled hydraulic mechanism(HM)double-medium model for CMGE was developed based on the measured data of the Chensilou mine.A comparative analysis of the mechanical response of fault between CMGE and single mining was conducted.The disturbance of geothermal production pressure and reinjection pressure under mining on fault stability were respectively expounded.The results indicate that:(1)The disturbance of geo-thermal reinjection amplifies the disturbance of mining on fault stability.The amplified effect resulted in a normal stress drop of the fault,further leading to a substantial increase in shear slide distance,failure area,and cumulative seismic moment of fault compared with the single mining process.(2)As the distance of reinjection well to the fault decreases,the fault failure intensity increases.Setting the production well within the fault is advantageous for controlling fault stability under CMGE.(3)The essence of the combined disturbance of CMGE on the nearby fault is the overlay of tensile stress disturbance on the fault rock mass of the mining and geothermal reinjection.Though the geothermal reinjection causes a minor normal stress drop of fault,it can result in a more serious fault failure under CMGE.This paper supplies a significant gap in understanding thenearby faults failure under CMGE.

文摘Carbon materials are widely recognized as highly promising electrode materials for various energy storage system applications.Coal tar residues(CTR),as a type of carbon-rich solid waste with high value-added utilization,are crucially important for the development of a more sustainable world.In this study,we employed a straightforward direct carbonization method within the temperature range of 700-1000℃to convert the worthless solid waste CTR into economically valuable carbon materials as anodes for potassium-ion batteries(PIBs).The effect of carbonization temperature on the microstructure and the potassium ions storage properties of CTR-derived carbons(CTRCs)were systematically explored by structural and morphological characterization,alongside electrochemical performances assessment.Based on the co-regulation between the turbine layers,crystal structure,pore structure,functional groups,and electrical conductivity of CTR-derived carbon carbonized at 900℃(CTRC-900H),the electrode material with high reversible capacity of 265.6m Ah·g^(-1)at 50 m A·g^(-1),a desirable cycling stability with 93.8%capacity retention even after 100 cycles,and the remarkable rate performance for PIBs were obtained.Furthermore,cyclic voltammetry(CV)at different scan rates and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique(GITT)have been employed to explore the potassium ions storage mechanism and electrochemical kinetics of CTRCs.Results indicate that the electrode behavior is predominantly governed by surface-induced capacitive processes,particularly under high current densities,with the potassium storage mechanism characterized by an“adsorption-weak intercalation”mechanism.This work highlights the potential of CTR-based carbon as a promising electrode material category suitable for high-performance PIBs electrodes,while also provides valuable insights into the new avenues for the high value-added utilization of CTR.

文摘Low-concentration coal mine methane(LC-CMM),which is predominantly composed of methane,serves as a clean and low-carbon energy resource with significant potential for utilization.Utilizing LC-CMM as fuel for solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs)represents an efficient and promising strategy for its effective utilization.However,direct application in Ni-based anodes induces carbon deposition,which severely degrades cell performance.Herein,a medium-entropy oxide Sr_(2)FeNi_(0.1)Cr_(0.3)Mn_(0.3)Mo_(0.3)O_(6−δ)(SFNCMM)was developed as an anode internal reforming catalyst.Following reduction treatment,FeNi_(3) nano-alloy particles precipitate on the surface of the material,thereby significantly enhancing its catalytic activity for LC-CMM reforming process.The catalyst achieved a methane conversion rate of 53.3%,demonstrating excellent catalytic performance.Electrochemical evaluations revealed that SFNCMM-Gd_(0.1)Ce_(0.9)O_(2−δ)(GDC)with a weight ratio of 7:3 exhibited superior electrochemical performance when employed as the anodic catalytic layer.With H_(2) and LC-CMM as fuels,the single cell achieved maximum power densities of 1467.32 and 1116.97 mW·cm^(−2) at 800℃,respectively,with corresponding polarization impedances of 0.17 and 1.35Ω·cm^(2).Furthermore,the single cell maintained stable operation for over 100 h under LC-CMM fueling without significant carbon deposition,confirming its robust resistance to carbon formation.These results underscore the potential of medium-entropy oxides as highly effective catalytic layers for mitigating carbon deposition in SOFCs.

文摘Electromagnetic interference,which necessitates the rapid advancement of substances with exceptional capabilities for bsorbing electromagnetic waves,is of urgent concern in contemporary society.In this work,CoFe_(2)O_(4)/residual carbon from coal gasification fine slag(CFO/RC)composites were created using a novel hydrothermal method.Various mechanisms for microwave absorption,including conductive loss,natural resonance,interfacial dipole polarization,and magnetic flux loss,are involved in these composites.Consequently,compared with pure residual carbon materials,this composite offers superior capabilities in microwave absorption.At 7.76GHz,the CFO/RC-2 composite achieves an impressive minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-43.99 dB with a thickness of 2.44 mm.Moreover,CFO/RC-3 demonstrates an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of up to 4.16 GHz,accompanied by a thickness of 1.18mm.This study revealed the remarkable capability of the composite to diminish electromagnetic waves,providing a new generation method for microwave absorbing materials of superior quality.

文摘Based on the coalbed methane(CBM)/coal-rock gas(CRG)geological,geophysical,and experimental testing data from the Daji block in the Ordos Basin,the coal-forming and hydrocarbon generation&accumulation characteristics across different zones were dissected,and the key factors controlling the differential CBM/CRG enrichment were identified.The No.8 coal seam of the Carboniferous Benxi Formation in the Daji block is 8-10 m thick,typically overlain by limestone.The primary hydrocarbon generation phase occurred during the Early Cretaceous.Based on the differences in tectonic evolution and CRG occurrence,and with the maximum vitrinite reflectance of 2.0%and burial depth of 1800 m as boundaries,the study area is divided into deeply buried and deeply preserved,deeply buried and shallowly preserved,and shallowly buried and shallowly preserved zones.The deeply buried and deeply preserved zone contains gas content of 22-35 m^(3)/t,adsorbed gas saturation of 95%-100%,and formation water with total dissolved solid(TDS)higher than 50000 mg/L.This zone features structural stability and strong sealing capacity,with high gas production rates.The deeply buried and shallowly preserved zone contains gas content of 16-20 m^(3)/t,adsorbed gas saturation of 80%-95%,and formation water with TDS of 5000-50000 mg/L.This zone exhibits localized structural modification and hydrodynamic sealing,with moderate gas production rate.The shallowly buried and shallowly preserved zone contains gas content of 8-16 m^(3)/t,adsorbed gas saturation of 50%-70%,and formation water with TDS lower than 5000 mg/L.This zone experienced intense uplift,resulting in poor sealing and secondary alteration of the primary gas reservoir,with partial adsorbed gas loss,and low gas production rate.A depositional unification and structural divergence model is proposed,that is,although coal seams across the basin experienced broadly similar depositional and tectonic histories,differences in tectonic intensity have led to spatial heterogeneity in the maximum burial depth(i.e.,thermal maturity of coal)and current burial depth and occurrence of CRG(i.e.,gas content and occurrence state).The research results provide valuable guidance for advancing the theoretical understanding of CBM/CRG enrichment and for improving exploration and development practices.
