Quantification of Organic Porosity and Water Accessibility in Marcellus Shale Using Neutron Scattering

Journal Article Gu, Xin ; Mildner, David F. R. ; Cole, David R. ; ... - Energy and Fuels

Pores within organic matter (OM) are a significant contributor to the total pore system in gas shales. These pores contribute most of the storage capacity in gas shales. Here we present a novel approach to characterize the OM pore structure (including the porosity, specific surface area, pore size distribution, and water accessibility) in Marcellus shale. By using ultrasmall and small-angle neutron scattering, and by exploiting the contrast matching of the shale matrix with suitable mixtures of deuterated and protonated water, both total and water-accessible porosity were measured on centimeter-sized samples from two boreholes from the nanometer to micrometer scale withmore »« less

Characterization of porosity via secondary reactions. Quarterly technical progress report, 1 April 1995--30 June 1995

Technical Report Calo, J.M. ; Hall, P.J. ; Antxustegi, M.M. ; ...

In the previous quarterly report (DE-FG22-91PC91305-14), we presented an analysis of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data obtained for Pittsburgh {number_sign}8 coal char. These samples exhibited considerable scattering. However, when the voids between the particles were filled with a liquid that had the same neutron scattering density as the carbon, the amount of scattering was reduced by more than two orders of magnitude. Analysis of the scattering invariant in terms of surface area showed that the char had very little porosity. To date this has been the only contrast matching SANS study of carbon and the first recognition that interparticlemore »« less

Pore size distribution and accessible pore size distribution in bituminous coals

Journal Article Sakurovs, Richard ; He, Lilin ; Melnichenko, Yuri B ; ... - International Journal of Coal Geology

The porosity and pore size distribution of coals determine many of their properties, from gas release to their behavior on carbonization, and yet most methods of determining pore size distribution can only examine a restricted size range. Even then, only accessible pores can be investigated with these methods. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultra small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) are increasingly used to characterize the size distribution of all of the pores non-destructively. Here we have used USANS/SANS to examine 24 well-characterized bituminous and subbituminous coals: three from the eastern US, two from Poland, one from New Zealand and the restmore »« less

Pore accessibility by methane and carbon dioxide in coal as determined by neutron scattering

Journal Article He, Lilin ; Melnichenko, Yuri B ; Mastalerz, Maria ; ... - Energy & Fuels

Contrast-matching ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering (USANS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques were used for the first time to determine both the total pore volume and the fraction of the pore volume that is inaccessible to deuterated methane, CD{sub 4}, in four bituminous coals in the range of pore sizes between {approx}10 {angstrom} and {approx}5 {micro}m. Two samples originated from the Illinois Basin in the U.S.A., and the other two samples were commercial Australian bituminous coals from the Bowen Basin. The total and inaccessible porosity were determined in each coal using both Porod invariant and the polydisperse spherical particle (PDSP) modelmore »« less

The development of porosity in Pittsburgh No. 8 char as studied using contrast matching small angle neutron scattering

Conference Hall, P.J. ; Antxustegi, M.M. ; Thiyagarajan, P.

Contrast matching small angle neutron scattering has been used to investigate the development of porosity in Pittsburgh No. 8 coal char during gasification in air at 673K. Deuterated toluene contrast matches very well with polycrystalline graphite carbon. Scattering from the contrast matched ungasified sample shown that there is very little closed porosity in the ungasified sample. It is shown that scattering from the dry sample is due to interparticle effects. Subtraction of the contrast matched scattering and the interparticle scattering from the overall scattering of samples gives information about open porosity. It is shown that microporosity is produced in themore »« less
