Many projects, such as adsorption difference between tectonic coal and its untectonic coal, adsorption evaluation of tectonic coal, factors for adsorption capacity of tectonic coal, gas-solid coupling feature in tectonic coal and supercritical adsorption phenomena of tectonic coal, were carried out by scientists. Combined with a long-term study on organic matter structure and methane adsorption of tectonic coal, the author summarized recent-years’ researches on adsorption of tectonic coal-methane at home and abroad from the dispute of adsorption ability determination, the methane adsorption feature via structure-property relationship, the thermodynamic characterization of methane adsorption behavior, quantum chemical calculation of the adsorption and the gas content calculation based on loss compensation, respectively. The research has a reference to fine research of coal adsorption and CBM exploration practices.
