Abstract:

To further investigate the effect of ultrasonic stimulation on gas diffusion in coal, this study utilized an ultrasonic stimulation test system for gas-bearing coal to analyze variations in gas diffusion under different ultrasonic conditions. Based on the Langmuir-like model, Quasi-first-order kinetic model, and gas dynamic diffusion model, the influence of ultrasonic stimulation on the kinetic characteristics of gas diffusion was systematically examined. Results demonstrate that increased ultrasonic power, elevated frequency, or prolonged stimulation time significantly enhance gas diffusion. Specifically, when ultrasonic power increases from 250 W to 1 000 W, gas diffusion rises from 0.689 mL/g to 0.981 mL/g, with the diffusion rate increasing from 5.92% to 10.69%. Similarly, gas diffusion escalates from 0.739 mL/g at 20 kHz to 1.074 mL/g at 40 kHz, elevating the diffusion rate from 6.36% to 9.65%. Extending stimulation time from 30 min to 120 min boosts gas diffusion from 0.833 mL/g to 1.100 mL/g, increasing the diffusion rate from 8.50% to 12.65%. The gas dynamic diffusion model exhibits the strongest fit for describing gas diffusion behavior under ultrasonic stimulation, followed by the Langmuir-like and Quasi-first-order kinetic models. Both the initial gas diffusion coefficient D0 and its attenuation coefficient β demonstrate identical trends under ultrasonic stimulation, showing exponential positive correlations with ultrasonic power, frequency, and stimulation time. Ultrasonic stimulation enhances the kinetic characteristics of gas diffusion in coal by improving pore connectivity through mechanical vibration and pore-cleaning effects.
