Data for: Influence of solvents on pore structure and methane adsorption capacity of extracted lacustrine shales: An example from a Chang 7 shale sample in the Ordos Basin, China

To explore the influence of solvents on the pore structure and methane adsorption capacity of extracted shale, a sample of the Chang 7 shales from the Ordos Basin, China is extracted using acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF), carbon disulfide (CS2), and benzene, respectively. Low pressure gas (CO2 and N2) adsorptions and methane adsorption experiments were carried out on the studied samples before and after extraction.
