Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solid waste resource utilization and soil remediation, and in particular to a method for preparing ecological soil by degrading and modifying coal gangue. Background Art
[0002] Gangue is a solid waste generated during coal mining and washing. Its massive storage not only occupies land, but also poses serious environmental risks such as dust, leaching pollution of water and soil, and migration of heavy metals. Resource processing of gangue can not only effectively deal with the problem of its large-scale accumulation, but also transform it into a high-quality ecological soil matrix for use in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, mine ecological restoration, comprehensive management of tidal flats, covering of solid waste landfills, and remediation of contaminated soil. However, traditional disposal methods (such as landfill and open-air stacking) are unsustainable and do not meet the requirements of sustainable development. There is an urgent need to explore large-scale, high-value, and safe resource utilization methods.
[0003] Existing gangue treatment technologies (such as landfill and simple covering) generally suffer from insufficient heavy metal passivation, poor nutrient utilization, and high costs, making them difficult to meet the stringent standards for ecological soil (for agricultural and engineering use). Specifically, patent CN118947491 A fails to consider the environmental risks of heavy metals and toxic and hazardous substances in gangue, and requires a reaction cycle of over 30 days to complete the ecological soil conversion, resulting in a long and inefficient process. Patent CN 117243086A crushes gangue and mixes it with sandy soil to produce improved ecological soil, but this does not enhance the activity of mineral elements and makes it difficult for nutrients to be dissolved and released. Patent CN 116114568 A adds large amounts of nitric acid, microbial agents, and chemical additives during the ecological soil preparation process, increasing costs and introducing new environmental pollution.
[0004] There is an urgent need for a new method for treating coal gangue to achieve the harmlessness and efficient resource conversion of coal gangue. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing ecological soil by degrading and modifying coal gangue. The method adopts chemical selective decomposition and activation, cascade separation + synergistic modification process to solve the problems of high risk of heavy metal migration and difficulty in utilizing organic matter and nutrients in coal gangue, breaking through the bottleneck of high energy consumption and long processing cycle of traditional processes, and providing a high-efficiency and low-cost method for preparing ecological soil.
[0006] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] A method for preparing ecological soil by degrading and modifying coal gangue comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1 Degradation pretreatment: Add degradation agent to coal gangue in an aerobic environment with a temperature ≥20°C;
[0009] S2 Crushing and Screening: Mechanically crush the pre-treated gangue to the target particle size;
[0010] S3 chemical activation and cascade separation: Activate coal gangue through chemical selective decomposition;

[0013] Furthermore, the chemical selective decomposition method is acid decomposition, wherein organic acid is used to selectively dissolve and separate Fe / Al / Si / K; and inorganic acid and salt are used to selectively separate Si.

[0015] Furthermore, the inorganic acid is one or more of sodium dihydrogen phosphate or sodium sulfide, and the addition amount is 3-5% of the mass of the coal gangue; the salt is sodium carbonate, and the addition amount is 2-4% of the mass of the coal gangue.
[0016] Furthermore, the degradation agent is water rich in ozone and carbon dioxide, the mass ratio of the degradation agent to coal gangue is less than 1:30000, and the pretreatment time is 0.1-36h.
[0017] Furthermore, the ozone concentration is 60-100 mg / L, and the carbon dioxide concentration is 1000-1200 mg / L.
[0018] Furthermore, the passivating agent is a high-temperature catalytic oxidation decomposition product of a mixture of seaweed sludge and a bottom layer of duck farm manure, and the amount of the passivating agent added is 0.3-1.2% of the mass of the coal gangue.
[0019] Furthermore, the modifier composition includes lignin degradation product sulfonate, tea polyphenol-iron complex and red wine lees fermentation product, and the added amount of the modifier is 0.05-0.30% of the mass of the coal gangue.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S2, the target particle size is 60-1000 mesh.
[0021] The ecological soil has an organic phase content of no more than 260 g / kg, TN of 0.1-3.5 g / kg, TP of 3-600 mg / kg, and TK of 3-400 mg / kg; a pH value of 5.0-9.0; TSi of 0.3-55%; and a total TFe / Al content of 0.1-45%.
[0022] The properties of the obtained ecological soil products:
[0023] (1) Organic phase content: not more than 260g / Kg;
[0024] (2) pH value: 5.0-9.0;

[0028] (6) Total silicon (TSi) 0.3-55%, total iron and aluminum (TFe / Al) 0.1-45%;
[0029] (7) The leaching toxicity test complies with the "Leaching Toxicity Test Method for Solid Waste" (HJ / T299-2007).
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. The present invention significantly reduces production costs and energy consumption, resulting in a short production cycle and high efficiency. Specifically, the passivating agent and modifier can be recycled, reducing reagent costs. The reaction does not require high-temperature conversion, resulting in low heat consumption. The entire process takes a short time, resulting in a short and efficient process. The resulting ecological soil products can be used for land improvement, ecological restoration, environmental management, and crop production in forestry, animal husbandry, agriculture, greening, tidal flats, river and lakeside land, abandoned mines, coal mining subsidence areas, solid waste storage sites, and other environmental scenarios. They can also be used for the management of acidified land, saline-alkali land, and environmentally polluted land.
[0032] 2. The present invention efficiently activates nutrients and improves soil structure on demand. By adding different weak acid or salt activators, it chemically and selectively activates nutrients such as Si, Al, Fe, and K, converting inert components in coal gangue into active components on demand, providing nutrients that can be absorbed by plants. Through the synergistic effect of degraders and modifiers, it simultaneously optimizes soil structure, increases organic matter, and significantly improves soil fertility.
[0033] 3. The metal passivator of the present invention converts free heavy metals (such as Cd and Pb) in coal gangue into a stable residual state through the dual effects of acidic complexation and chelation. The leaching toxicity of Tclp-Cd complies with GB5085.3, and the risk of heavy metal migration is reduced by more than 95% (verified by HJ / T299-2007);
[0034] 4. The degradation agent involved in the present invention is cheap, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, with ultra-low addition amount, and the chemical selective decomposition activator is mild in nature and has no environmental risks. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
