Abstract: With the depletion of shallow coal mine resources, the mining depth of coal mines is deepening year by year, therefore, gas explosion and other disasters occur from time to time. Gas drainage is the main measure to prevent gas disasters, and the permeability of coal is one of the main factors affecting gas drainage. In order to explore the seepage characteristics of coal under different confining pressure loading and unloading conditions and different gas pressure, the seepage test of raw coal samples was carried out by using the coal rock triaxial loading seepage test device. The results show that the permeability of coal samples decreases with the increase of confining pressure in the loading stage, and increases with the unloading of confining pressure in the unloading stage; Through calculation, it is found that the permeability loss of coal body in the loading stage decreases with the increase of loading times, and during unloading, this value also decreases with the increase of unloading times, and reaches the maximum value at the first loading and unloading. With the increase of loading and unloading cycles, the permeability loss of coal samples decreases, and the first loading and unloading is the main stage of permeability loss of coal samples. At the same time, it is found that when the confining pressure increases, the permeability loss of coal samples decreases, and the initial permeability of coal samples maintains a good linear growth relationship with the increase of gas pressure.
