High temperature and pore structure are important factors affecting the emission rate of radon in rocks. This study mainly focused on the correlation between radon emission rate and temperature in red sandstone. The results showed that in the temperature range of 25–400 °C, as the temperature increased, the connectivity of the internal pores of the sample became better, resulting in a significantly increased radon emission rate. The radon emission rate at 400 °C was 2.86 times the original. To explain the changes that occurred in the internal structure of the samples, the porosity characteristics of the samples after heat treatment were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It was found that the pore structure was also an important factor affecting the rate of radon emission. The smaller pore size of the micropores (r < 0.1 μm) inhibited the emission of radon in the sandstone. These results helped in understanding the mechanism of radon emission rate and provide an important basis for predicting rock fragmentation and coal fire.
