Abstract

In order to study the microstructure characteristics of coal surface after different temperature and thermal effects of lignite, the SEM images of lignite after different temperatures were analyzed by means of theoretical analysis and experimental measurement (SEM microscanning electron microscopy) to studied the characteristics of organic matter and inorganic substance, fracture channel and pore structure. The results show that: At 150 °C, the volume of lignite expands and the pore size becomes larger, and the water loss fracture will be formed; 200 °C is the mutation temperature of the pore structure of lignite; After the temperature reaches 250 °C, the coal skeleton gradually becomes empty, the coal body starts to soften, produces colloidal fragments, and the fissure structure is more irregular; When the temperature reaches 350 °C, the ablation phenomenon is obvious.
