Abstract

Coal formation, including coalification effect, peatization effect, diagenesis effect and metamorphism effect; Metamorphism types and maceral composition of coal; Generation of coal seam gas during coal metamorphism, basic composition of coal seam gas, and the existence forms of adsorbed gas and free gas. Controlling effect of magma intrusion on the coal metamorphism and coal seam gas occurrence.
