Effect of high temperature on physical properties of yellow sandstone

High-temperature baked sandstone is widely distributed in the north of Shaanxi, China. The lithology of these rocks has a significant impact on the mining of underground resources such as coal. To understand changes in its physical properties after heat treatment, yellow sandstone was heated for two hour at a constant temperature of 25, 800, 1000, 1100 or 1250 °C. Data on the glossiness, hardness and colour brightness, and surface micrographs,...
