Just as it is regarding ordinary cement-based materials, the pore structure and microstructure of alkali-activated materials are disordered. It is essential to predict the macroscopic properties by studying the pore and microstructure fractal characteristics of materials. In this paper, the effects of slag content and alkali activator modulus on compressive strength, porosity, and microstructure of alkali-activated coal gangue-slag (AACGS) mortar were studied. Further, with the help of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) data and the MATLAB programming, the pore and SEM photos fractal dimensions of AACGS mortar specimens were obtained, respectively, and the relationship between the microscopic fractal dimensions and the macroscopic strength and the structural characteristics of pores was established. The results show that the pore fractal dimension has a good linear relationship with the compressive strength and pore characteristic parameters (porosity, total pore area, and average pore diameter, etc.). With the increase of slag content, the SEM photos fractal dimension of AACGS mortar specimens increases, and the fractal dimension and compressive strength also show a significant positive linear relationship. The two fractal characterization methods can be used in the alkali-activated material system and have important guiding significance for predicting the macroscopic strength and pore characteristic parameters of the material.

Gas pressure changes during the process of coal mine gas drainage and CBM recovery. It is of great importance to understand the influence of sorption pressure on gas diffusion; however, the topic remains controversial in past studies. In this study, four samples with different coal ranks were collected and diffusion experiments were conducted under different pressures through the adsorption and desorption processes. Three widely used models, i.e., the unipore diffusion (UD) model, the bidisperse diffusion (BD) model and the dispersive diffusion (DD) model, were adopted to compare the applicability and to calculate the diffusion coefficients. Results show that for all coal ranks, the BD model and DD model can match the experimental results better than the UD model. Concerning the fast diffusion coefficient Dae of the BD model, three samples display a decreasing trend with increasing gas pressure while the other sample shows a V-type trend. The slow diffusion coefficient Die of BD model increases with gas pressure for all samples, while the ratio β is an intrinsic character of coal and remains constant. For the DD model, the characteristic rate parameter kΦ does not change sharply and the stretching parameter α increases with gas pressure. Both Dae and Die are in proportion to kΦ, which reflect the diffusion rate of gas in the coal. The impacts of pore characteristic on gas diffusion were also analyzed. Although pore size distributions and specific surface areas are different in the four coal samples, correlations are not apparent between pore characteristic and diffusion coefficients.
