The preparation of suitable specimens is important for obtaining credible mechanical and methane migration parameters for tectonic coal, which help to guide methane extraction and disaster prevention. In this study, a dual-deformation mechanism for porous media was introduced along with two powder compression models, and the issues that should be considered in the preparation of coal specimens were analyzed. By compression tests, the relationship between bed relative density and the applied stress in the compression of coal particles was obtained. The method of coal specimen preparation was introduced in detail. The results indicated that the Kawakita model is suitable for describing the compressive process of tectonic coal powders and guiding the preparation of tectonic coal specimens. The key parameters and in the Kawakita model are 0.411 and 0.108, respectively. The bed relative density shows a slight increasing trend followed by an obvious rising tendency with an increase in the applied stress. A compressive stress of 150 MPa was determined to be suitable for preparation of the tested coal specimens.

The boundary between wet and arid climate zones in the Tethys Ocean remains challenging to trace, complicating our understanding of global aridification pattern during the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian transition. The North China Block (NCB), situated in the Tethys Ocean, underwent a transition from humid to arid climate during the Early Permian, providing a rare opportunity to trace this climate boundary across this region. Here, we present paleomagnetic evidence indicating that the NCB underwent rapid northward drift between 290 and 281 million years ago.

In-situ stress plays a pivotal role in influencing the desorption, adsorption, and transportation of coalbed methane. The reservoir gas content represents a pivotal physical parameter, encapsulating both the coalbed methane enrichment capacity and the underlying enrichment law of the reservoir. This investigation collates, computes, and consolidates data concerning pore pressure, breakdown pressure, closure pressure, triaxial principal stress, gas content, lateral pressure coefficient, and other pertinent variables from coal reservoirs within several coal-bearing synclines in the Liupanshui coalfield, China.

The stratigraphic sequence displays pronounced variations in lithological and physical characteristics along the vertical axis. The acquisition of vertically continuous variations in stratigraphic rock mechanical parameters is essential for the detailed characterization of stratigraphy, particularly in reservoir layers. Moreover, mechanical parameters are essential for the establishment of a rock mechanical stratigraphic framework.

This study investigates arsenic (As) species, sources, and transformation patterns in deposited coal mine dust (DCMD) from three coal mines-QSY, MHJ, and SCC-in the Ningdong Coalfield, China. While the parent coals have low As levels, the DCMD shows significant enrichment, with concentrations 137 to 345 times higher. The mineral composition of the DCMD reflects that of the parent coals but includes secondary minerals such as gypsum and various trace elements, including As.

The genesis, occurrence, and accumulation of coalbed methane (CBM) are critical to the methane exploration and development. Combining the geological and geochemical data from CBM exploration wells and basin modeling, the genesis and accumulation characteristics of CBM in different regions and depths at the eastern margin of Ordos Basin were elucidated. Regional-scale gas content is controlled by depth and coal rank without turning depth occurs, but blocks perform variably.
