Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solid waste resource utilization and ecological governance, in particular to a method for processing and converting coal gangue into ecological soil. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal gangue is a solid waste generated during coal mining and washing. Its large-scale storage not only occupies land, but also poses serious environmental risks such as dust emission, leaching pollution of soil and water, and heavy metal migration. Traditional disposal methods such as landfill and open-air storage are unsustainable and do not meet the requirements of sustainable development. It is urgent to explore resource utilization approaches that are large-scale, high-value, and safe.

[0003] Existing coal gangue conversion ecological soil treatment technologies mostly use methods such as adding acid, alkali, binder, and straw after crushing. These methods have high costs, high risk of heavy metal residue, low conversion efficiency, long operation cycle, and other problems, making it difficult to meet the demand for large-scale ecological restoration. For example, patent CN 118947491 A does not consider the risk of heavy metals in coal gangue and requires more than 30 days of reaction period to complete the conversion of ecological soil, which is too long a degradation time. Patent CN 117243086 A crushes coal gangue and mixes it with sand to obtain improved ecological soil, but does not improve the nutrient content and environmental risk of coal gangue. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a coal gangue conversion ecological soil treatment technology to achieve harmless and resourceful conversion of coal gangue, reduce harmful components, and improve the performance of ecological soil.
