Carbonate Mineral Dissolution in Coal and the Associated Evolution of Fracture–Macropore Structure under Hot Flue Gas Treatment

Abstract Hot flue gas injection into coal seams shows considerable potential for enhancing gas drainage from low-permeability coal seams; however, how the carbonate mineralogical composition of coal controls its fracture–macropore response to CO2–H2O acidification remains poorly...

Hot Flue Gas-Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery: Comparative Discrete Fracture Network and Equivalent Continuum Modeling

Abstract Hot flue gas injection provides a potential approach for enhancing methane displacement from low-permeability coal, but methane transport is strongly controlled by the heterogeneous pore-fracture structure of coal. How different representations of fractures affect the pr...
