Abstract
In order to reduce the occupational health hazard of coal dust to miners, surface tension and viscosity tests and bituminous coal powder sedimentation experiments were conducted. A composite dust suppressant with bonding-wetting effects was developed. Meanwhile, based on the FTIR test and peak-differentiating curve fitting, the changes of peak areas of coal samples before and after dust suppressant treatment were investigated, with quantitative analysis on hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Gravity drop weight tests and Malvern particle size analyses were carried out. The particle size distribution was studied based on the Boltzmann function model. The characteristic particle size theory was adopted to analyze dust reduction performance and time's effect on the performance. Results show that the surface tension of the composite dust suppressant is 31.02 ± 0.09 mN/m with the viscosity being 84.60 mPa·s for the mixture of 0.1% SDS solution and 0.4% CMC-Na solution being 1:5. The ratio of the hydrophilic group of bituminous coal reaches 97.37% affected by the dust suppressant with a good wetting and cohesiveness effect. The characteristic particle size D 10 of dust increases by 11.77 and 46.67%, D 50 rises by 7.56 and 36.89%, and D 90 grows by 10.56 and 32.96%, respectively. The compressive strengths of the Shenmu coal sample and Lucun coal sample increase by 82.86 and 66.72% compared with that of raw coal after 48 h of dust suppressant treatment. The breakage degree at the end face of treated coal is smaller than that of raw coal. The composite dust suppressant makes the particles in coal more cohesive and effectively weakens the dust-producing property. Research results are of practical significance for improving the effect of water injection on dust reduction.

Abstract
Due to the low permeability characteristics of the deep gas-containing coal seam, the conventional prevention and control measures that cannot solve the problems of gas outbursts are unsatisfactory for the prevention and control of the coal and gas outbursts disaster. Therefore, in this study, a strain of methane-oxidizing bacteria M07 with high-pressure resistance, strong resistance, and high methane degradation rate was selected from coal mines. The growth and degradation abilities of M07 in chelating wetting agent solutions to assess its adaptability and find the optimal agent-to-M07 ratio. It provides a new method for integrating the reduction of impact tendency and gas pressure in deep coal mines. The experimental results show that M07 is a Gram-positive bacterium of the genus Bacillus, which has strong resistance and adaptability to high-pressure water injection. By degrading 70 mol of methane, M07 produces 1 mol of carbon dioxide, which can reduce gas pressure and reduce the risk of gas outbursts in coal mines. As the experiment proves, the best effect was achieved when the M07 concentration of the chelating wetting agent was 0.05%. The methane-oxidizing bacteria based on the chelating wetting agent as carriers prove a new prevention and control method for the integrated prevention and control of coal and gas outbursts in coal mines and also provide a new idea for microbial application in coal mine disaster control.

Abstract
As the most universally used anionic surfactant, ubiquitous existence and accumulation of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) in the environment has inevitably imposed the associated harmful impacts to plants due to producing excessive reactive oxygen species. However, the underlying hazardous mechanism of the SDBS-induced oxidative stress to plants at molecular level has never been reported. Here, the molecular interaction of AtPrxQ with SDBS was explored for the first time. The intrinsic fluorescence of AtPrxQ was quenched based on static quenching, and a single binding site of AtPrxQ towards SDBS and the potential interaction forces driven by hydrophobic interactions were predicted from thermodynamic parameters and molecular docking results. Besides, the interaction pattern of AtPrxQ and SDBS was also confirmed by the bio-layer interferometry with moderate binding affinity. Moreover, the structural changes of AtPrxQ along with the destructions of the protein framework and the hydrophobic enhancement around aromatic amino acids were observed upon binding with SDBS. At last, the toxic effects produced by SDBS on peroxidase activities and Arabidopsis seedlings growth were also characterized. Thus this work may provide insights on the molecular interactions of AtPrxQ with SDBS and assessments on the biological hazards of SDBS to plants even for the agriculture.

Abstract
As China's coal mines have transitioned to deep mining, the ground stress within the coal seams has progressively increased, resulting in reduced permeability and poor wetting ability of conventional wetting agents. Consequently, these agents have become inadequate in fulfilling the requirements for preventing washouts during deep mining operations. In response to the aforementioned challenges, a solution was proposed to address the issues by formulating a composite wetting agent. This composite wetting agent combines a conventional surfactant with a chelating agent called tetrasodium iminodisuccinate (IDS). By conducting a meticulous screening of surfactant monomer solutions, the ideal formulation for the composite wetting agent was determined by combining the monomer surfactant with IDS. Extensive testing, encompassing evaluations of the composite solution's apparent strain, contact angle measurements, and alterations in the oxygenated functional groups on the coal surface, led to the identification of the optimal composition. This composition consisted of IDS serving as the chelating agent and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (JFCS).Subsequent assessment of the physical and mechanical performance of the coal briquettes treated with the composite wetting agent revealed notable enhancements. These findings signify significant advancements in the field and hold promising implications. Following the application of the composite wetting agent, notable reductions were observed in the dry basis ash and dry basis full sulfur of coal. Additionally, the water content within the coal mass increased significantly, leading to a substantial enhancement in the wetting effect of the coal body. This enhanced wetting effect effectively mitigated the coal body's inclination towards impact, thereby offering technical support for optimizing water injection into coal seams and preventing as well as treating impact ground pressure.

Abstract
After the coal seam is injected with water, the moisture content in the coal body increases, which affects the output capacity of coalbed methane (CBM). In order to improve the effect of CBM mining, the classical anthracite molecular model has been selected. To analyze the influence of different placement orders of water and methane on the characteristics of coal-adsorbing methane from the micro point of view, a molecular simulation method is used for comprehensive consideration in the study. The results show that H2O does not change the mechanism of CH4 adsorption by anthracite, but it inhibits the adsorption of methane by anthracite. When water enters the system afterward, there arises an equilibrium pressure point where water plays the most significant role in inhibiting methane adsorption by anthracite coals, which increases with increasing moisture content. When water enters the system first, no equilibrium pressure point occurs. The excess adsorption of methane by anthracite when water enters second is higher. The reason is that H2O can replace CH4 at the higher energy adsorption sites of the anthracite structure, while CH4 can only be adsorbed at the lower energy sites, and some of CH4 is not adsorbed. For the coal samples with a low-moisture content system, the equivalent heat of adsorption of CH4 increases first rapidly and then slowly with the increase of pressure. However, it decreases with pressure in the high-moisture content system. The variation of the equivalent heat of adsorption further explains the variation of the magnitude of methane adsorption under different conditions.

Enhancement of the wettability of a coal seam during water injection: effect and mechanism of surfactant concentrations above the CMC. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:39857-39870.

Abstract
This paper determines the optimal surfactant concentration for enhancing coal's wettability and explores the wetting mechanism at surfactant concentrations above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) during coal seam water injection. In this study, laboratory experiments and field tests were used to investigate the influence of monomeric surfactants and compound surfactants at various concentrations on coal's wettability. The results showed that when the surfactant solution concentration was greater than the CMC, the coal's wettability was significantly enhanced as the surfactant concentration increased. However, the coal's wettability did not monotonically increase with the concentration, and the maximum value was reached in the range of 0.5-3 wt.%. Increasing the surfactant adsorption density and changing the adsorption state on the coal surface were the essential reasons surfactants continued improving the coal's wettability at concentrations above the CMC. The Marangoni flow effect and changes in the viscosity of the surfactant solution with concentration were also important factors that affected the coal's wettability.
