Popis: Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LFNMR) is a rapid, nondestructive analytical method which has been proved to be attractive for its application in brittle and easily compressed coals. In this paper, the relationships between NMR parameters and coal pores were analyzed by the NMR measurements of six coal samples with different ranks using AniMR with the resonance frequency of 12.15MHz. Results show that NMR porosity usually compare well to water porosity and be lower than He porosity, and the NMR porosity at echo spacing of 0.3ms sometimes underestimates the coal sample, lower than water porosity by >1 porosity unit. In contrast, the NMR porosity at echo spacing of 0.1ms is acceptable for characterization of coal reservoir. The difference of NMR porosity at different echo spacing may relate to the vitrinite content. Based on the T2c model, the transverse surface relaxivity of coal is calculated and it ranges from 0.25 to 20 um/s, commonly lower than 5um/s. The producible porosity could be a parameter used to estimate coal permeability, however there still needs a lot of work to construct a perfect method for this.
