Gas shales have a complex pore structure. Using mercury porosimetry and nitrogen adsorption experiment on shale of Longtan Formation in southeastern of Hunan, the pore structure characteristics were contrast analyzed, influencing factors and its impact on reservoir-forming were discussed. Longtan Formation shale is composed of nanopores, include the cylinder pores with two ends open and parallel-plate pores with four sides open. The efficiency of mercury ejection ranges 31.45%~63.82%, 51.94% on average, pores uniformity is well. The size of nanopores is 5~30nm, taking up 94.74% of the total volume and 98.08% of specific surface area. Brittle minerals content is high, as an important parameter influencing pore development. The nanopores have a strong ability to absorb gas, methane molecule exist in a structured way.

Pore structure characteristics and the effect of lithotype and maceral on pore for three types of high-volatile bituminous coals from Binchang area were investigated by combined low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and maceral analysis. The low temperature N2 adsorption/desorption test results show that: micropores are more abundant than transitional pores with high BET surface area; two types of pore structures can be identified by adsorption/desorption isotherms; Pore morphology is mainly represented by well-connected, ink-bottled, cylindrical and parallel plate pores. NMR T2 distributions at full saturated condition are apparent or less obvious trimodal and three types of T2 distributions are identified; Seepage pores are better developed when compared with the middle-high rank coal. Further research found that the three coal lithotypes are featured by remarkably different pore structure characteristics and maceral contents of coal are linearly correlated to some of pore structure parameters.

Pore structure of experiment alkali waste were investigated by Mercury Porosimetry, the influence of pore structure characteristics on their sulfur fixation performance were discussed, it can be found that little pores make a significant contribution to calcium utilization in the initial stage of reaction and at lower temperature, while bigger pores take effect in the later stage and at higher temperature, the range of effective aperture are different at different temperature, which respectively are from 0.005μm to 0.02μm at temperature from 1123K to 1223K and from 0.2μm to 0.3μm at temperature from 1223K to 1323K, the more pore in range of effective aperture, the better the sulfur fixation performance.
