Abstract. At present, based on the research of the conditions and factors of outburst hazard of coal beds, various predicting methods have been developed grounded on contemporary views concerning the nature and mechanism of gas-dynamic phenomena. One of the main factors affecting the outburst hazard of coals is gas saturation, which is determined by the sorption capacity of coals. The sorption properties of coal matter are significantly determined by the degree of coal transformation (metamorphism). Therefore, the analysis of the data obtained for a coal matter of the same rank makes it possible to reveal the role and importance of factors that have formed the parameters of the signals observed by EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectroscopy. These signals define the features of the sorption coal-gas interaction for a particular sample. It is established that the average values of the concentration of paramagnetic centers are (2.29 ± 0.36) and of contingency - (0.476 ± 0.02), and the calculated value of the sorption capacity of coals (24.3 ± 0.29) can be considered basic for gas and fat ranks of coals in the Krasnoarmeyskiy district. Minor deviations from the basic parameters can be caused by various geological and technological factors. Significant deviations of the average values for the sorption capacity of coals can be caused by tectonic processes. The purposeis to research the impact of geological factors on the sorption properties of gas and fat ranks of coals determined by the EPR method in the mines of the Krasnoarmeyskiy district. During the research, the following parameters were defined: 1) the integrated intensity of the EPR spectrum - the concentration of paramagnetic centers (Na) in the matter under research, which characterizes the conjoint impact of external factors on the coal matter, and 2) the contingency coefficient (Ksc), i.e. the number and status of the conjugate system in the molecular structure of a matter, which characterizes the transmitting depth of structural transformations (a degree of structuredness) of fossil organics at the nanolevel. As a result, it is found that various factors acting in different directions affect the calculated value of the sorption methane capacity of coals. The average sorption capacity of gas and fat ranks of coals from the Krasnoarmeyskiy district is 24.3 ± 0.29 and mainly depends on the deformation conditions. The average concentrations of paramagnetic centers are (2.29 ± 0.36), and of contingency (0.476 ± 0.02). The calculated value of the sorption capacity of coals (24.3 ± 0.29) can be considered as the base one for the gas and fat ranks of coals in the Krasnoarmeyskiy district. Minor deviations from the basic parameters can be caused by various geological and technological factors. Significant deviations in the average values of the coals sorption capacity can be caused by tectonic processes.    
Keywords: coal, sorption properties, EPR spectroscopy, geological factors.
