Gas pressure is one of the major factors to characterize the outburst danger of coal seams. Generally, the process of gas pressure determination is complicate and cannot ensure the accuracy of results, which may cause a wrong identification of outburst danger. This paper discussed and revealed a positive correlation between initial gas emission and gas pressure, which provides a new approach to identify the outburst danger by initial gas emission. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the liner equation of gas pressure and initial gas emission was deduced. Laboratory experiments under adsorption and desorption of CO2 and N2 were performed using coal samples from Weishe coal mine. The data of initial gas emission under different gas pressure were recorded, and the fitting curves were obtained. The results show a positive correlation between initial gas emission and gas pressure, and the curve of N2 was below the CO2. Especially, while the adsorption gas pressure was under 0.663 and 0.675 MPa, the difference of corresponding initial gas emission was only 0.01 L/s, which indicates the high degree of correlation. The results validated the theoretical and practical feasibility to identify the coal and the gas outbursts through initial gas emission.
The gas emission rate of boreholes is one of the most important indices for coal and gas outburst prediction. In this work, instantaneous gas emission velocity and environmental effects on borehole gas emission were studied. Through theoretical analysis, the mechanism of crack propagation in the coal borehole was clarified, and the effect of soft and hard coal on gas desorption and gas emission. The results of numerical simulations also indicated that the initial gas emission has a function relationship to the drilling distance and the physical characteristics of the coal seam. A novel dynamic testing technology was proposed to obtain gas emission velocity. Laboratory experiments under adsorption and desorption of CO2 and N2 were performed using coal samples from Xuehu, Fenghui, Weishe, and Wuzhong coal mines. The data of initial gas emission under different coal samples were recorded, and the fitting curves were obtained. The results show a positive correlation between initial gas emission and drilling depth. However, abnormal would occur when the drill pipe enters the soft stratification, and the maximum value of the initial gas emission of the abnormal part is 3.8 times the normal value, which indicates a high degree of sensibility to soft stratification. The results were revealed the dynamic gas emission law of boreholes.
