Since 1987, there have been 10 coal and gas outbursts in Daxing Coal Mine, Tiefa Basin. It was reported that these outbursts were related to igneous intrusion. To study the influence of igneous intrusion into bituminous on coal bed methane (CBM) occurrence, eight coal samples were collected at different distances (0.2-10 m) from an intrusion in Daxing Coal Mine. The petrographic and chemical data, pore characteristics, and adsorption properties of unaltered and heat-affected coals were tested and compared. Approaching the dike, vitrinite reflectance ( ) increases from 0.56 to 1.14%, while moisture decreases from 6.4 to 3.1%. According to , with the thermal evolution of igneous rocks, the temperature of heat-affected coal seams generally increases from ∼78 to ∼169 °C. The bituminous coal contained high moisture content before the intrusion, and after the igneous intrusion, partial heat may be used for moisture gasification; the other heat was used to improve coal metamorphism, resulting in little increase in the coal metamorphism as expected. The synergistic effect of igneous thermal evolution and moisture content change improves the adsorption capacity of coal. Affected by the igneous intrusion, the gas content of the heat-affected coal seams No. 4 (above the sill) and No. 7 (below the sill) is higher than that of the unaltered No. 12 coal seam, and the gas content of No. 7 coal seam (beneath the sill) is higher than that of No. 4 coal seam. The low permeability sill has a sealing effect on the gas in No. 7 coal seam. Therefore, the evolution process of CBM occurrence in the Daxing Coal Mine can be speculated, that is, after magma intrusion, the temperature increased, the metamorphic degree of coal increased, and water gasification occurred at the same time. The original adsorption site occupied by moisture was vacated, which improved the methane adsorption capacity of the coal and provided favorable conditions for CBM occurrence.

Bolt support improves the stress state of the surrounding rock and forms an integral bearing structure inside the anchored surrounding rock. Therefore, it is of theoretical significance and practical application value to systematically study the mechanical mechanism and bearing characteristics of the anchorage composite carrier and elucidate the interaction mechanism between the bearing effect of the anchorage composite carrier and the stability of the roadway surrounding rock. In this paper, a mechanical model for the anchorage composite carrier is meticulously constructed through a fusion of theoretical analysis and advanced numerical simulation techniques.

When underground tunnels in coal mines traverse geological structurally abnormal zones (faults, collapse columns, fractured zones, etc.), excavation-induced unloading leads to instability and failure of the engineering rock mass. Rock masses in fractured zones are in elastic, plastic, and post-peak stress states, and the process of excavation through these zones essentially involves unloading under full stress paths.

Reaching net zero emissions and limiting global warming to 2 °C requires the widespread introduction of technology-based solutions to draw down existing atmospheric levels and future emissions of CO. One such approach is direct air CO capture and storage (DACCS), a readily available, yet energy-intensive process. The combination of DACCS and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) allows for independently powered carbon capture plants to inject concentrated carbon into deep marine sediments where storage is generally safe and permanent.

Developing simple and efficient extraction methods for phenolic substances from coal tar, which facilitate their direct transformation into high-performance electrode materials, holds considerable practical significance. In this study, amide-zinc chloride deep eutectic solvents are employed for efficient phenol extraction. The optimal phenol extraction process is subsequently investigated, and it is found that the robust hydrogen bonding interactions between solvents and phenols significantly enhance extraction efficiency.
