The data of experimental laboratory studies into the methane sorption kinetics in samples of mineral coals of different metamorphism grade and petrographic composition are presented. Their relation to the character of gas emission from gas-saturated coal seams is considered. The dependence of the gas emission type on the size of undisturbed fragment of coal and methane diffusion coefficient is revealed.
