In this study, the adsorption and desorption data of six coal samples with different volatile fraction contents were obtained using a laboratory-made adsorption and desorption system. The experimental temperature was 30 degrees C, and the adsorption pressure was 0-3.5 MPa. The fitting effects of four different calculation methods of saturated vapor pressure (P-0) (namely Reid method, Antoine method, Astakhov method, and Amankwah method) in applying three adsorption models (namely two-parameter BET model, three-parameter BET model, and D-A equation) were compared and analyzed. The D-A equation was reliable as an adsorption model when the Astakhov method was used to calculate P-0. When fitting the adsorption data of six coal samples, R-2 values were all greater than 0.99, and the obtained fitting parameters were all within a reasonable range. The Langmuir model and D-A equation were utilized to calculate the surface potential(Omega) and Gibbs free energy change (Delta G) of each coal sample. The D-A equation was more reliable to calculate Omega and Delta G, and it had some advantages in terms of calculation accuracy.
