The poresize distribution parameters of RAC were examined by high-precision mercury intrusion method（MIM） and nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR） imaging. A capillary-bundle physical model with random-distribution pores（improved model, IM） was established according to the parameters, and dry-shrinkage strain values were calculated and verified. Results show that in all pore types, capillary pores, and gel pores have the greatest impacts on concrete shrinkage, especially for pores 2.5-50 and 50-100 nm in size. The median radii are 34.2, 31, and 34 nm for RC0, RC30, and RC100, respectively. Moreover, the internal micropore size distribution of RC0 differs from that of RC30 and RC100, and the pore descriptions of MIM and NMR are consistent both in theory and in practice. Compared with the traditional capillary-bundle model, the calculated results of IM have higher accuracy as demonstrated by experimental verifi cation.展开更多

文摘Taking deep coal-rock gas in the Yulin and Daning-Jixian areas of the Ordos Basin,NW China,as the research object,full-diameter coal rock samples with different cleat/fracture development degrees from the Carboniferous Benxi Formation were selected to conduct physical simulation and isotope monitoring experiments of the full-life-cycle depletion development of coal-rock gas.Based on the experimental results,a dual-medium carbon isotope fractionation(CIF)model coupling cleats/fractures and matrix pores was constructed,and an evaluation method for free gas production patterns was established to elucidate the carbon isotope fractionation mechanism and adsorbed/free gas production characteristics during deep coal-rock gas development.The results show that the deep coal-rock gas development process exhibits a three-stage carbon isotope fractionation pattern:“Stable(Ⅰ)→Decrease(Ⅱ)→Increase(Ⅲ)”.A rapid decline in boundary pressure in stageⅢleads to fluctuations in isotope value,characterized by a“rapid decrease followed by continued increase”,with free gas being produced first and long-term supply of adsorbed gas.The CIF model can effectively match measured gas pressure,cumulative gas production,and δ^(13)C_(1) value of produced gas.During the first two stages of isotope fractionation,free gas dominated cumulative production.During the mid-late stages of slow depletion production,the staged pressure control development method can effectively increase the gas recovery.The production of adsorbed gas is primarily controlled by the rock's adsorption capacity and the presence of secondary flow channels.Effectively enhancing the recovery of adsorbed gas during the late stage remains crucial for maintaining stable production and improving the ultimate recovery factor of deep coal-rock gas.
