Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of land reclamation, and particularly relates to a method for integrally preparing artificial soil from the overburden of an open-pit coal mine. Background Art

[0002] Due to open-pit mining, all the topsoil and various rock layers above the coal seam need to be stripped, which not only has a destructive impact on the original vegetation and soil in the mining area, but also the waste dump will occupy a large amount of intact land, resulting in a series of problems such as a decline in soil quality, a reduction in biodiversity, and ecological environment degradation. Therefore, the damage to the ecological environment caused by open-pit coal mine development has become one of the important problems currently faced in China. The open-pit coal mine mining seriously damages the soil layer. Although topsoil stripping has been advocated, the slope and platform area of the waste dump formed by mining are much larger than the original surface area, and the lack of topsoil has always been a difficult point in open-pit mine reclamation. At present, the soil used for mine reclamation mainly comes from the stripped topsoil generated during mining advancement and the topsoil within the original expropriated land range. Many mines lack sufficient topsoil for vegetation restoration during the stage of mining stoppage or pit closure. At the same time, the formation process of topsoil is relatively long and the resource reserves are limited. If sufficient topsoil is to be obtained for reclamation, it is necessary to supplement it by damaging the topsoil in other areas, causing secondary damage to the ecological environment. The long-term storage of topsoil will lead to a decline in soil fertility, resulting in a low survival rate of vegetation and poor reclamation effects, and the secondary transportation cost of imported soil is relatively high. Therefore, how to use the stripped materials to prepare topsoil substitute materials has become the key to solving this problem.

[0003] In terms of controlling the properties of artificial soil, the current existing technologies mainly adopt the method of physical crushing and screening. This method has problems such as relatively serious dust pollution, a large influence of physical crushing by working conditions (material humidity, climatic conditions), relatively high mechanical costs, large losses, and the need for multiple transportation and shaping after crushing and screening.

[0004] At present, there is a lack of systematic solid waste utilization methods, and there is a lack of economical utilization methods for the solid waste of open-pit coal mines. The basic process for utilization is "crushing - transportation - screening - transportation - stirring - covering soil". The whole process requires multiple transportation. If the effect cannot be achieved by one-time crushing, multiple crushing is still required. Most artificial soil needs to go through a screening process. The screening sites are mostly open-air, affected by meteorological factors such as rainfall, resulting in an increase in the humidity of the stripped materials and making it difficult to screen. There are many scene limitations in the preparation of artificial soil. Mixing the stripped materials in water can remove the influence of humidity factors; the application scenarios of artificial soil are also relatively single. It is mainly crushed by physical measures and modifiers are added to make the artificial soil approach the state of natural soil. However, after fluidization, the artificial soil is more diversified. It can be sprayed, granulated, filter-pressed into blocks, or artificial soil can be formed by drying and vibrating, and the utilization direction is wider. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for integrally preparing artificial soil from the stripping materials of open-pit coal mines, so as to solve the problems of insufficient topsoil in previous coal mining areas and the occupation of land resources by stripping materials.

First, put the prepared stripping materials from the mine rock stratum into the dissolving liquid, and after standing, then put the remaining stripping materials from the surface layer of the mine. After sufficient stirring, a basic fluidized artificial soil is formed. The main components of the dissolving liquid include water, citric acid, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, concentrated potassium fulvate solution, Bacillus mucilaginosus, and Bacillus subtilis.

[0007] In the above solution, the preparation method of the dissolving liquid is: inject water into a swirlable water tank, control the water temperature at 30℃ ± 2℃, add Bacillus mucilaginosus and Bacillus subtilis. After the bacterial flora is completely dissolved in water, add citric acid, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and concentrated potassium fulvate solution, and stir them evenly to form a dissolving liquid.

[0008] In the above solution, the standing time is 30 min - 1 h.

[0009] In the above solution, the stripping materials from the surface layer of the mine mainly include loam, silt clay, clay, and sandy soil with a particle size less than 10 cm; In the above solution, the stripping materials from the mine rock stratum mainly include sedimentary mudstone with a particle size less than 5 cm, coal mine sedimentary carbonaceous mudstone, and other soluble rocks such as limestone and dolomite.

[0010] An improved method for integrally preparing artificial soil from the stripping materials of open-pit coal mines, and its technical key points are to cool the basic fluidized artificial soil described in claim 1 to room temperature 23℃ ± 2℃, and mix 60 - 80 parts of fluid artificial soil, 3 - 5 parts of peat, 5 - 10 parts of organic fertilizer, 5 - 10 parts of corn cob, 3 - 5 parts of distiller's grains, 3 - 5 parts of coconut shell or coconut coir, 1 - 2 parts of superabsorbent resin, 1 - 2 parts of soil binder, and 12 - 15 parts of grass seeds in a quantitative proportion evenly.

The technical key points are as follows: keeping the temperature of the basic fluidized artificial soil described in claim 1 unchanged, mixing 80 - 85 parts of fluid artificial soil, 5 - 10 parts of organic fertilizer, 5 - 10 parts of mine plant litter, 3 - 5 parts of coconut shell or coconut coir, and 5 - 10 parts of corncob evenly, and after maintaining for 2 hours, adopting a solid-liquid separation method based on a filter press to obtain a solid component and a liquid component.

[0012] In the above solution, the solid component is used as the artificial soil base material for mine land reclamation, and the liquid is used as the nutrient solution for topdressing arbors and shrubs. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This method for integrally preparing artificial soil from the stripping materials of an open-pit coal mine uses hydrolysis to disintegrate rock and soil, with less dust pollution; has not very high requirements for the humidity of materials; based on the establishment of a fixed site, adopts a wet method to prepare artificial soil, and does not require many crushing and screening machines; the fluidized artificial soil can be transported through pipelines, with higher transportation efficiency, lower cost, and fewer transfer times. The fluidized artificial soil has the conditions for multi-scenario applications of solids and liquids and can be utilized separately based on solid-liquid separation. Description of the Drawings
