With the continuous advance of coal mining, the normal stress in front of coal seams will continue to increase, resulting in changes of internal structure and permeability of coal seams. During the continuous advance of mining face, the increase of vertical stress somewhere in front of coal seams may not be a transient process, but a gradual change process. Therefore, this paper carried out the seepage test of gas-containing coal under discontinuous loading axial stress.

Therefore, molecular simulation was utilized to study the influence of N/CO on the adsorption and diffusion of methane in coal under different gas injection methods and to elucidate the influence of varying gas injection methods on the efficiency of coalbed methane extraction, which provides a basis for the efficient development of coalbed methane. The results show that the adsorption effect of gases in coal decreases with the increase of temperature and increases with the rise of pressure, and the adsorption performance of the three gases in coal shows the law of CO > CH > N.
