"Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) measurements of the structure of two Australian bituminous coals(particle size of 1-0.5 mm) before, during, and after exposure to 155 bar of helium were made to identify any effects of pressure alone on the pore size distribution of coal and any irreversible effects upon exposure to high pressures of helium in the pore size range from 3 nm to 10 mu m. No irreversible effects upon exposure were identified for any pore size," researchers in Newcastle, Australia report.
"No effects of pressure on pore size distribution were observed, except for a small effect at a pore size of ...
