[0003] Currently, the traditional pyrolysis heating method is electric heating, which conducts heat through an external heat source, which may cause problems such as slow heating rate, high energy consumption, and uneven temperature distribution. Microwave radiation heating uses the microwave electromagnetic field to interact with the polar molecules or conductive components in the coal, and directly heats the coal blocks through dielectric loss or eddy current effect. The energy of this heating method acts directly on the coal blocks, heating them simultaneously inside and outside, with a fast and uniform heating rate.

[0038] The spatial resolution of the CT scanner used in this embodiment is ≤10 μm, and the scanning interval can be determined according to experimental requirements. CT scanning under three-dimensional stress can be performed according to different temperature nodes.
[0039] The test method of the present application is described below based on specific examples.
