At present, a large amount of such waste is simply stored, which not only occupies land resources, but also causes environmental pollution and ecological damage. Therefore, how to effectively treat these wastes and convert them into valuable materials has become an important task in the field of environmental protection.
[0003] In response to this challenge, a method for preparing lightweight aggregate using solid waste as raw materials was proposed. This method not only helps to reduce the negative impact of solid waste on the environment, but also reduces the dependence on natural resources in traditional lightweight aggregate production, showing significant economic and environmental benefits.
