Gas prevention and control have always been the focus of coal mine safety. The pore structure characteristics and gas adsorption characteristics of coal seams are the key factors affecting gas adsorption and diffusion in coal seams. Lvjiatuo Mine has the characteristics of a high gas content when it enters deep mining. In order to clarify the influence of the pore-fracture structure characteristics of main coal seams in the research area on coal seam gas adsorption and diffusion, and to study the differences in gas adsorption and diffusion ability in different coal seams, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption (LT-N2GA), high-pressure mercury intrusion (MIP) and computerized tomography (μ-CT) were used as characterization methods, and methane isothermal adsorption experiments were carried out to systematically study the pore structure characteristics of five groups of coal samples, and the pore-fracture structure characteristics and gas adsorption characteristics of each main coal seam were obtained. The results show that: (1) in the LT-N2GA experiment, the adsorption−desorption curves of all coal samples are of type III, and mainly develop cone-shaped pores or wedge-shaped semi-closed pores, with an average pore size of 1.84~4.84 nm, a total pore volume of 0.0010~0.0023 mL/g, a total specific surface area of 0.16~0.24 m2/g, and a fractal dimension D1 of 1.39~1.87 and D2 of 2.44~2.60. The micropores of L12 are more developed, and the mesopores and macropores of L9 are more developed. (2) In the MIP experiment, the porosity of coal samples is 3.79~6.94%. The porosity of L9 is the highest, the macropore ratio is the highest, and the gas diffusion ability is also the strongest. (3) In the μ-CT experiment, the porosity of L8-2 and L12 is 12.12% and 10.41%, the connectivity is 51.22% and 61.59%, and the D is 2.39 and 2.30, respectively. The fracture of L12 is more developed, the connectivity is better, and the heterogeneity of the pore of L8-2 is higher. (4) In the isothermal adsorption experiment of methane, the gas adsorption capacity basically increases with the increase in the buried depth of the coal seam, and the gas adsorption capacity of the No.12 coal seam is the highest. Based on the pore-fracture structure characteristics and gas adsorption characteristics of the main coal seams in the research area, the gas outburst risk of each coal seam is ranked as follows: No.12 coal seam > No.8 coal seam > No.7 coal seam > No.9 coal seam. The experimental results provide important help for researching the structural characteristics of coal seam pore fractures and preventing gas outbursts during deep coal seam mining.
