Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal gangue solid waste, in particular to an active wall purification method based on coal gangue solid waste. Background Art

[0002] Gangue solid waste is solid waste generated during coal mining and washing. Composed primarily of carbonaceous shale, mudstone, sandstone, and other rocks, it is a dark-gray rock with a low carbon content and harder than coal. It is produced during coal mine construction, tunneling, coal mining, and coal washing, and its emissions generally account for 10%-20% of coal production. Long-term open-air storage of gangue not only occupies significant land but also generates dust and leaching water due to weathering and rain, polluting the atmosphere, soil, and water. The heavy metals and other hazardous substances it contains can harm the ecological environment and human health. However, after processing, gangue can be used as a resource in various applications, including building material production, power generation, and land reclamation.

[0003] Currently, the main wall material used on the market is ceramsite, a filter material primarily made from shale, clay, and sludge. The production of shale ceramsite requires the exploitation of mineral resources, and this large-scale mining activity can have a certain impact on the surrounding ecological environment, such as destroying mountain vegetation and causing soil erosion. While clay ceramsite is widely used, it suffers from poor pressure resistance. Over long-term use, it is prone to fracture when subjected to certain pressures, which in turn affects the overall stability and service life of the wall. Sludge ceramsite, on the other hand, has low compressive strength and may not maintain its physical properties well under high pressure, resulting in a decrease in wall performance. Furthermore, coal gangue, as a solid waste, can cause serious environmental pollution and damage if not properly handled. Its storage not only occupies a large amount of land but can also spontaneously combust, releasing harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide. The leachate from this can also contaminate soil and groundwater. Therefore, the present invention proposes an active wall purification method based on coal gangue solid waste, aiming to solve the many problems caused by the above-mentioned traditional wall materials and coal gangue treatment.

[0008] S2. Catalyst loading

[0009] While the surface of the raw material ball is kept moist, titanium dioxide photocatalyst is evenly sprayed into the ball forming plate, with the addition amount being 10% to 15% of the total mass of the raw material ball, so that the catalyst is adsorbed on the surface of the pores of the raw material ball;

[0010] S3. High temperature calcination

[0012] S4. Construction of wall purification unit

[0013] The obtained ceramsite is filled into a breathable container and arranged at intervals on the wall surface or in the interlayer at a density of 0.5 to 1 kg of ceramsite per cubic meter of space, so as to purify air pollutants through the adsorption-photocatalytic synergistic effect of the ceramsite.

[0014] Preferably, the catalyst injection in step S2 must meet the following requirements:

[0015] Compressed gas is used to blow titanium dioxide powder into the ball-forming disk;

[0016] The injection rate is controlled at 100-200 g / min to ensure that the catalyst forms a uniform film-like shell on the surface of the raw material ball;

[0017] During the spraying process, the rotation speed of the ball forming disc is 15-25 rpm to maintain the integrity of the raw material balls.

[0023] Preferably, the step S1 specifically includes:

[0024] The gangue is coarsely crushed, dried, and ground to less than 200 mesh in a vertical mill;

[0025] The mixed raw materials were homogenized in a powerful blender for ≥20 minutes;

[0026] The pelletizing process uses a ball-forming disc and the particle size of the raw material balls is controlled at 3 to 8 mm.

[0027] Preferably, the container in step S4 is:

[0028] Porous ceramic box or light-transmitting mesh module;

[0029] Set up 3 to 5 independent purification units per square meter of wall area;

[0030] The unit spacing is 20 to 50 cm, forming a detachable connection structure with the wall.

[0068]

[0069] This invention aims to address the environmental pollution and damage caused by coal gangue as solid waste, improve its comprehensive utilization, and promote its application in air purification and pollutant decomposition. Through processing, the gangue is converted into ceramsite with a specific pore structure and specific surface area. This ceramsite possesses adsorption and filtration properties, effectively treating pollutants such as ammonia, nitrogen, total phosphorus, and COD in wastewater.

[0070] In terms of technical background, existing filter media, ceramsite, are mostly made from shale, clay, sludge, and other raw materials. These materials present environmental issues, poor pressure resistance, and low strength. This invention overcomes these shortcomings by utilizing coal gangue to produce a high-strength, recyclable material. Specifically, the coal gangue undergoes processes such as crushing, drying, grinding, stirring, granulation, and sintering to form ceramsite with high mechanical strength and specific surface area. This ceramsite is not only suitable for photocatalyst adsorption, but also effectively removes organic matter, suspended matter, and nitrogen oxides from the air.

[0071] The technical solution of this invention details the production process for gangue filter media, including the steps of raw material crushing, drying, grinding, mixing, granulation, and sintering. Through these steps, the gangue is transformed into ceramsite with high strength and excellent adsorption properties. The key lies in the retention of the raw material pellets, a crucial performance indicator during the calcination process and a key technology for using gangue ceramsite as a catalyst-carrying matrix. By adding a photocatalyst at the appropriate stage, the ceramsite's efficient adsorption and filtration properties can be ensured.

[0072] The key point and key point of this invention lies in the use of coal gangue to produce high-strength, high-specific-surface-area ceramsite. This ceramsite exhibits excellent adsorption and filtration properties, effectively removing pollutants from air and wastewater. Furthermore, this invention offers key advantages such as waste-to-waste pollution control, no secondary pollution, strong catalyst adhesion, excellent suspended solids retention, greater strength compared to traditional materials, and a longer service life. These technological innovations not only enhance the comprehensive utilization of coal gangue but also provide effective technical support for achieving environmental protection goals.

[0073] This technology uses coal gangue solid waste as raw material and transforms it into a high-performance active wall purification material through an innovative process, offering significant environmental benefits and technical advantages. First, this technology achieves efficient resource utilization of coal gangue, addressing the environmental pollution and resource waste associated with traditional solid waste treatment, embodying the dual environmental benefits of "using waste to treat pollution." Second, through wet catalyst loading and staged calcination, the photocatalyst is successfully adsorbed evenly onto the surface of the ceramsite, forming a porous carrier structure. This significantly enhances the catalyst's adhesion and pollutant retention capacity, ensuring the stability and durability of the air purification effect. Compared to traditional filter media, coal gangue ceramsite has higher mechanical strength and specific surface area, effectively resisting wear and breakage, extending its service life, and reducing operation and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the modular design of the wall purification unit allows for flexible integration of air purification functions, making it suitable for a variety of building scenarios and meeting the needs of different spaces. The overall process offers low energy consumption, simple operation, and no secondary pollution, resulting in excellent economic and social benefits. In short, this technology not only solves the problem of coal gangue solid waste treatment, but also provides an efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable solution for the field of air purification, with broad application prospects and market value.
