Joint response of coal permeability and wettability to changes in organic matter induced by oxidation treatment by Baoxin ZHANG, Xuehai FU, Fanhua Bill ZENG, Ze DENG, Zhaobiao YANG, Junqiang KANG, Chaochao DUAN

“…When the oxidants are injected into coal, new pores and fractures are formed during organic matter dissolution, directly leading to permeability and total porosity enhancement., and the change in k0 increases with the change in porosity. Moreover, part of the fat and hydroxyl are oxidized to form oxygen-containing functional groups with different polarities, which is the fundamental reason for the differences in the oxidation effects. …”
