Abstract

The characteristics of the manometric method are investigated so that it can be used to obtain accurate data of sorption of supercritical gas in coal. Furthermore, data of the sorption of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen in coal at in situ conditions have been determined. Accurate data are required to develop a theory that can describe the sorption of gas in coal. This theory is necessary to improve computer simulations of the production of methane from and the sequestration of carbon dioxide in underground coals. These simulations can lead to more methane production to meet the demand for energy and more storage of carbon dioxide to prevent emission of carbon dioxide.
