Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of advanced environmental protection industry, and in particular to a method for harmlessly treating large quantities of coal gangue for soil reclamation. Background Art

[0003] Multiple national departments have jointly issued a number of policies to promote the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste. For example, the "Implementation Plan on Accelerating the Comprehensive Utilization of Industrial Resources" issued by multiple departments in 2022 clearly states that by 2025, the level of comprehensive utilization of bulk industrial solid waste should be improved, and the comprehensive utilization rate should be 57%. Major coal-producing provinces have also responded positively. Shanxi Province has issued relevant action plans to explore new ways to utilize coal gangue; Guizhou Province plans to achieve a comprehensive utilization rate of 70% for bulk industrial solid waste by 2025, and solicits opinions on the technical regulations for filling ditches with coal gangue to create land. These policies point the way for the comprehensive utilization of coal gangue and also put forward higher requirements for technological innovation.

[0004] Gangue is a solid waste generated during coal mining and washing. For a long time, the series of problems it brings have seriously restricted the development of the coal industry. Large amounts of gangue are piled up in the open air, which not only occupies precious land resources, but also causes environmental pollution and secondary geological disasters. After being eroded by rainwater, gangue produces acidic water, which accelerates the dissolution of toxic heavy metal ions and pollutes the surrounding soil and water bodies; some gangue has a high sulfur content, is prone to spontaneous combustion, releases harmful gases, and affects air quality. At present, these problems have restricted the release of coal production capacity, and efficient treatment of gangue has become a practical problem that coal mining companies need to solve urgently. Grading and quality-based utilization is the core technical means to achieve the harmless use of large quantities of gangue for soil. Through cascade crushing and sorting processes, the gangue ore can be separated into different components such as coal, soil, and stone to achieve refined utilization of resources. The separated "coal" component can be used as power coal. The separated "soil" component can be used as a soil improvement material after rapid microbial proliferation and harmlessness, and can be used for soil reconstruction, saline-alkali land improvement, etc.; the "stone" component can be made into construction sand and gravel aggregate to increase economic benefits.

[0005] From the perspective of the utilization of coal gangue encouraged by the state, underground filling, power generation, production of building materials, recycling of mineral products, land reclamation and ecological restoration are all important ways, but considering the resource utilization efficiency, environmental benefits and economic benefits, large-scale harmless use of it in soil has significant advantages. The composition of coal gangue is similar to that of soil, and contains trace elements required for plant growth. It can be used for soil remediation and reclamation through harmless treatment, which conforms to the concept of "from the soil, to the soil", and can realize the recycling of resources. Moreover, compared with other utilization methods, it can be used for soil reclamation to absorb a large amount of coal gangue, effectively solve the problem of coal gangue accumulation, promote ecological environment restoration, and meet the needs of the national ecological strategy.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention develops a method for harmlessly treating large quantities of coal gangue for soil reclamation, which has high resource utilization efficiency, low energy consumption, high economic benefits, and reduces environmental pollution, and is expected to promote the industrialization process of large-scale utilization of coal gangue.

The original microorganisms in the samples were extracted and separated by combining the gradient plate preparation method and the enrichment culture method. Functional strains with tolerance to mercury, cadmium and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were successfully screened, including Pseudomonas and Penicillium oxalicum. Prepare a rapid propagation liquid medium, add glucose as a carbon source to make it reach 15g / L; use ammonium sulfate and yeast extract as nitrogen sources to make the total nitrogen source reach 8g / L; use vitamin B group as growth factors, with a total amount of 0.03g / L; add potassium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium sulfate, etc. as inorganic salts, with a total amount of 8g / L; add iron in the form of ferrous sulfate, with an addition amount of 100mg / L; add zinc sulfate as zinc sulfate, with an addition amount of 30mg / L; add manganese sulfate as manganese sulfate, with an addition amount of 25mg / L. The selected functional strains were inoculated into the culture medium, and cultured under shaking conditions of 35℃ and pH 7.5 for 2h to obtain a composite bacterial liquid. 500kg of dried clay minerals were mixed with 500kg of composite bacterial solution and reacted in an environment of 30℃ for 12h to achieve the removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants in clay minerals.
