Modeling the Pore Structure of Coal
The predictions of the random-pore model, and various other models formulated here, are compared with experimental data for the uptake of methane by coal. It is found that the most appropriate is a modified model considering coal to be comprised of microporous grains, with the random-pore model holding for the micropores in the grains. The new model still predicts the same reaction behavior as the random-pore model.

The swelling of a low-rank coal under the influence of various solvents is examined and results compared with those for a similar coal in briquetted form. Results are interpreted in terms of the effects of briquetting on pore structure.
