Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid waste resource utilization and ecological restoration materials, and relates to the preparation of artificial soil, especially to a continuous preparation device system and preparation method for coal gangue-based artificial soil. Background Technology

[0002] Coal gangue refers to rocks with a dry basis ash content >50% generated during coal mine construction, development, mining, and coal washing. Broadly defined, it is a type of coal-based solid waste. my country's annual coal production is approximately 4 billion tons, ranking first in the world, while its annual coal gangue production reaches 800 million tons, with a current accumulated stockpile of nearly 7.5 billion tons. Although the application of coal gangue in power generation and building materials is quite mature, the highly concentrated production areas, massive output, and constraints imposed by the market capacity and transportation radius of building materials result in a comprehensive utilization rate of only about 60%. Furthermore, the annual increase in stockpile is still 200-300 million tons, posing a significant disposal pressure and necessitating the development of new large-scale utilization methods for coal gangue.

[0003] Given the homology and similarity between coal gangue and healthy soil in terms of phase composition and chemical composition, relevant enterprises and research institutions have begun to explore the use of coal gangue for backfilling and land reclamation in open-pit mining dumps, coal mining subsidence areas, and natural gullies. However, most coal-producing areas are located in arid or semi-arid regions, where desertification and salinization have led to severe soil degradation. Implementing the above-mentioned utilization often requires transporting large amounts of topsoil as surface soil to achieve the construction of a healthy soil layer and vegetation restoration. Because coal gangue typically contains common soil clay minerals such as kaolin and feldspar, which are very similar to the inorganic components of soil, and also contains various chemical elements essential for plant growth such as silicon, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as 5% to 30% organic carbon sources, it is a good parent material for soil formation. Using coal gangue to prepare artificial soil to replace imported soil for the ecological restoration of degraded soil has natural advantages and is expected to become a promising technical approach for the large-scale utilization of coal gangue. It has also become one of the recent research hotspots for the large-scale utilization of coal gangue, but so far there have been no reports of industrial application.

[0004] CN110999753A discloses an artificial ecological substrate and its preparation method, which involves crushing coal gangue, adding microbial agents, mixing it evenly with plant-derived organic matter, and then processing it using a traditional composting fermentation process to prepare the artificial ecological substrate. CN111011159A discloses a method for preparing an ecologically improved substrate based on coal gangue and sludge, which involves crushing coal gangue and mixing it with 10-40 parts of sludge and 5-15 parts of fly ash, and then processing it using a traditional composting fermentation process to prepare a matured ecologically improved substrate. The application ratio of coal gangue in the above inventions is relatively low (≤70%), which cannot meet the demand for large-scale disposal of coal gangue stockpiles. Furthermore, coal gangue storage sites are usually far from densely populated areas such as cities and industrial parks. The availability and transportation costs of large quantities of municipal sludge, agricultural and forestry waste, and other organic matter matching the volume of coal gangue undoubtedly reduce the operability and economic viability of the technology. More importantly, the valuable coal content in coal gangue is not being fully utilized, and excessive coal content may lead to excessive levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene. In addition, the biotoxic pyrite / heavy metal components and hard and difficult-to-weather silicate minerals in coal gangue are unsuitable for soil making. If they are directly introduced into the soil, they will not only pose certain ecological risks, but also reduce soil quality.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a system and method that can achieve efficient utilization of coal gangue by different grades, and also generate good ecological and economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0077] In one specific embodiment, the present invention provides a continuous preparation device system for coal gangue-based artificial soil, comprising a grading and sorting unit and a bio-activated soil preparation unit arranged sequentially along the material conveying direction. The material can be bulk coal gangue, a type of coal-based solid waste. The grading and sorting unit includes a crushing module, a primary screening module, a secondary screening module, a first storage silo, a second storage silo, and a third storage silo. The crushing module, primary screening module, secondary screening module, and first storage silo are connected sequentially along the material conveying direction to perform deep phase dissociation on the coal gangue raw material, selectively separate components unsuitable for soil preparation, and sort the material into soil-making gangue, finely ground gangue, and coarsely ground gangue with different particle sizes. The soil-making gangue is fed into the first storage silo. The primary screening module is connected to the second storage silo, and the finely ground gangue is fed into the second storage silo, i.e., the selectively separated low-quality coal is recovered. The secondary screening module is connected to the third storage silo, and the ground coarse gangue is fed into the third storage silo for the selectively separated hard aggregate to be recycled. The bio-activated soil production unit includes a batching module, a degradation reaction tank, a microbial agent storage tank, and an auxiliary material silo. The inlet of the batching module is connected to the first storage silo, the microbial agent storage tank, and the auxiliary material silo, respectively. The outlet of the batching module is connected to the degradation reaction tank, realizing the compounding of soil-making gangue with exogenous auxiliary materials, regulating the mineral composition and nutrient structure of the soil-making gangue, and supplementing it with microbial detoxification and activation to quickly build a healthy soil structure.

[0078] In this invention, different units, modules, and devices are connected and transported using conventional solid material conveying devices such as conveyor belts or bucket elevators.

[0079] In some embodiments, the continuous preparation device system for coal gangue-based artificial soil further includes a coarse screening module connected to the inlet end of the crushing module. Specifically, the coarse screening module includes a coarse screening device and a feeding screening device connected sequentially along the material conveying direction. The feeding screening device is connected to the crushing module to screen out large-particle materials from the coal gangue raw material.

[0080] In some embodiments, the crushing module includes at least one crushing device. The crushing device in this invention is a device that selectively crushes materials based on differences in their hardness and crushing resistance, including but not limited to any one or a combination of at least two of the following: compression crushers, jaw crushers, cone crushers, and roller crushers, which are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0081] In some embodiments, the primary screening module includes a first grinding device and a first screening device. The inlet of the first grinding device is connected to the crushing module, and the outlet of the first grinding device is connected to the inlet of the first screening device. The outlet of the first screening device is divided into two paths: one path connects to the secondary screening module, and the other path connects to the second storage silo. The first grinding device and the first screening device are connected by a belt conveyor to classify the ground material. The outlet of the first screening device is divided into two paths, sending a portion of the classified material to the secondary screening module for further screening, and sending the other portion to the second storage silo for recycling.

The inlet of the second grinding device is connected to the primary screening module, and the outlet of the second grinding device is connected to the inlet of the second screening device. The outlet of the second screening device is divided into two paths: one path connects to the first storage silo, and the other path connects to the third storage silo. The second grinding device and the second screening device are connected by a belt conveyor to further classify the ground material. The outlet of the second screening device is divided into two paths, sending a portion of the classified material to the first transition silo, and sending the other portion to the third storage silo for recycling. Specifically, both the first and second grinding devices are ball mills, which can continuously and simultaneously output two sets of particle sizes with significant differences.

[0082] Furthermore, the outlet end of the second screening device is also connected to the inlet end of the second grinding device. The product particle size in the primary screening module and the secondary screening module can be directly adjusted by adjusting the mesh diameter of the screens of the first screening device and the second screening device. For the discharge of the second screening device, it is necessary to add a screen with a mesh diameter corresponding to the target particle size and add a discharge outlet. The medium-sized gangue, whose particle size range is between coarse gangue and soil gangue, is sent to the second grinding device by a belt conveyor device for secondary grinding treatment until it meets the requirements and is then sent to the first storage silo.

The outlet of the first transition chamber is equipped with a feeding assembly and connected to the inlet of the first grinding device to supply material to it. The first grinding device and the first screening device are connected via a belt conveyor to classify the ground material. The outlet of the first screening device is divided into two paths: one path sends a portion of the classified material to the secondary screening module, and the other path sends the remaining material to a second storage silo for recycling.

[0084] The secondary screening module also includes a second transition chamber. The inlet of the second transition chamber is connected to the primary screening module, and the outlet of the second transition chamber is connected to the inlet of the second grinding device. The outlet of the second transition chamber is equipped with a feeding assembly, which is connected to the inlet of the second grinding device to supply material to it. The second grinding device and the second screening device are connected via a belt conveyor to further classify the ground material. The outlet of the second screening device is divided into two paths: one path sends a portion of the classified material to the first transition chamber, and the other path sends the remaining material to the third storage silo for recycling.

[0085] Furthermore, one of the inlet terminals of the second screening device is connected to the second transition bin. The discharge from the second screening device requires the addition of a screen with a mesh diameter corresponding to the target particle size and an additional discharge outlet. The medium-sized gangue, with a particle size range between coarse gangue and soil gangue, is conveyed to the second transition bin via a belt conveyor. It then enters the second grinding device and the second screening device for secondary grinding treatment until the requirements are met, after which it is sent to the first storage bin.

[0086] In some embodiments, a feeding assembly is provided at the outlet end of the first storage silo to control the feeding rate, thereby continuously and stably transporting the soil gangue to the bio-activated soil production unit via a belt conveyor.

[0087] In some embodiments, the batching module includes a mixing and stirring device. The inlet of the mixing and stirring device is connected to the first storage silo, the auxiliary material silo, and the microbial agent storage tank, respectively, and the outlet of the mixing and stirring device is connected to the degradation reaction tank. The auxiliary material silo is used to store auxiliary materials. The mixing and stirring device is used to mix the microbial agent into the mixture of soil gangue and auxiliary materials, homogenize it to obtain a homogeneous mixture, and then send it into the degradation reaction tank for degradation reaction.

[0088] Furthermore, the auxiliary material silo includes a first auxiliary material silo and a second auxiliary material silo, which are independently connected to the mixing and stirring device. The first auxiliary material silo stores organic auxiliary materials, and the second auxiliary material silo stores inorganic auxiliary materials.

[0089] To improve the reaction effect, the present invention also prepares each material according to the dosage ratio and strictly controls the material ratio, specifically providing the following two schemes: (1) The first storage silo, the first auxiliary material silo, and the second auxiliary material silo are independently connected to the mixing and stirring device through a load-bearing metering belt. The load-bearing metering belt refers to a metering belt with a weighing function, which is well known to those skilled in the art, to weigh each material separately and send it into the mixing and stirring device after the material ratio is met. (2) The mixing and stirring device is connected to the first storage silo, the first auxiliary material silo, and the second auxiliary material silo respectively through a conveyor belt. The bottom of the first storage silo, the first auxiliary material silo, and the second auxiliary material silo are independently equipped with weighing and metering components. The conveyor belt is a conventional transport belt well known to those skilled in the art. The weighing and metering components include, but are not limited to, a discharge machine with a metering function. The materials are weighed by the weighing and metering components independently configured in the first storage silo, the first auxiliary material silo, and the second auxiliary material silo to meet the material ratio and then send them into the mixing and stirring device.

[0090] Furthermore, the mixing and stirring device is connected to the microbial agent storage tank via a metering pump pipeline to quantitatively deliver the microbial agent. This invention does not specifically limit the form of the microbial agent; it can be a liquid or a solid microbial agent. When using a liquid microbial agent, the auxiliary materials are first fed into the mixing and stirring device, and then the microbial agent and water are directly pumped into the mixing and stirring device via the metering pump. When using a solid microbial agent, the auxiliary materials and the microbial agent are first weighed separately and then fed into the mixing and stirring device, and then water is pumped into the mixing and stirring device for mixing.

[0091] In some embodiments, the bio-activated soil preparation unit further includes a packaging device connected to the outlet end of the degradation reaction tank via a belt conveyor for packaging the artificial soil to obtain bagged coal gangue-based artificial soil products.

[0092] In some embodiments, a material distribution assembly is provided at the top of the degradation reaction tank, a metering water tank is configured in the degradation reaction tank, and a turning and mixing assembly is provided in the inner cavity of the degradation reaction tank. The turning and mixing assembly is equipped with an atomizing water supply component, which is connected to the metering water tank as the turning and mixing assembly reciprocates. An aeration and water control assembly is also provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the degradation reaction tank. In this invention, the material distribution assembly is connected to the mixing and stirring device via a belt conveyor, and is used to uniformly distribute the homogeneous mixture of soil-making gangue, auxiliary materials, and microbial agents into the inner cavity of the degradation reaction tank. After undergoing the turning and mixing action of the turning and mixing assembly, combined with aeration and microbial action, coal gangue-based artificial soil is obtained after a certain reaction cycle under mild operating conditions.

[0093] It should be noted that this invention does not specifically limit the structure of the fabric assembly, turning and turning assembly, aeration and water control assembly, and atomizing water replenishment component. Any related structure commonly used by those skilled in the art can be adopted. Those skilled in the art can add layouts based on the process flow and equipment structure selection; this invention does not impose special requirements or specific limitations in this regard. Furthermore, the degradation reaction tank can also be remotely controlled via a programmable logic controller, local remote control, or local power distribution cabinet operation. The related hardware, software, and electromechanical control technologies are all common technologies in this field.

[0094] In another specific embodiment, the present invention provides a continuous preparation method for coal gangue-based artificial soil. The continuous preparation method employs a continuous preparation device system for coal gangue-based artificial soil as described in a specific embodiment. The preparation method includes:

[0095] S1: The coal gangue raw material is crushed and screened in sequence to obtain finely ground gangue and coarse material on the screen. The finely ground gangue is sent to the second storage bin. The coarse material on the screen is screened in the second stage to obtain coarsely ground gangue and gangue for making soil. The gangue for making soil and the coarsely ground gangue are sent to the first storage bin and the third storage bin, respectively.

[0096] S2: The soil gangue in the first storage bin is sent to the batching module, and microbial agents and auxiliary materials are added and mixed to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The homogeneous mixture is then sent to the degradation reaction tank for reaction to obtain artificial soil.

[0097] The artificial soil prepared in this invention possesses excellent air permeability, water retention, and fertilizer retention properties, making it a healthy soil that can partially or completely replace healthy imported soil. It can be applied in various scenarios, including but not limited to landscaping, desertification control, degraded farmland restoration, and mine restoration. Furthermore, the artificial soil can be combined with the hard aggregate produced in this invention as a base layer filler and surface covering for ecological restoration applications such as mine restoration and ground backfilling.

[0098] In some embodiments, the preparation method further includes: performing a coarse screening process on the coal gangue raw material before the crushing process. Those skilled in the art can adjust and add a coarse screening process according to the actual differences in the properties of the raw material, in order to screen out raw materials that do not meet the particle size requirements, ensuring that the particle size of the coal gangue raw material after the coarse screening process is <500mm, preferably <210mm.

[0099] In some embodiments, in step S1, the particle size of the crushed coal gangue raw material is <200mm, preferably <80mm. In some embodiments, in step S1, the primary screening process includes a sequential grinding and screening to obtain finely ground gangue and coarse material on the screen.

[0100] The primary grinding process employs ball milling, and the ball-to-material ratio in the primary grinding is ≤0.5, preferably 0.15 to 0.3.

[0101] The finely ground gangue described in this invention is the undersize material of the first screening device, which is a low-quality coal product with a particle size of <0.75mm, and more preferably <0.25mm. Its lower heating value is ≥6270kJ / kg, which meets the technical requirements for coal gangue for fuel in GBT29163-2012 "Technical Guidelines for the Utilization of Coal Gangue", and can be directly used as fuel.

[0102] In some embodiments, step S1 includes the secondary screening process of: sequentially grinding and screening the coarse material on the screen to obtain coarse ground gangue, medium ground gangue, and soil-making gangue.

[0103] The primary grinding process employs ball milling, and the ball-to-material ratio in the secondary grinding process is >0.3, preferably 0.4 to 0.6.

[0104] The coarse gangue mentioned in this invention is the material oversize from the second screening device, which is a hard aggregate product with a particle size ≥5mm. It meets the technical requirements for coal gangue used in roadbeds in GB / T29163-2012 "Technical Guidelines for the Utilization of Coal Gangue". It can be used as building material aggregate and base material. For example, the hard aggregate can be directly used as a base layer filler in ecological restoration fields such as mine restoration and ground backfilling.

[0105] Furthermore, the secondary screening process also includes: returning the gangue from the grinding process to the secondary grinding stage to repeat the secondary grinding and secondary screening to obtain the soil gangue.

[0106] The coal gangue used in this invention has a particle size ≤3mm, more preferably <0.75mm, making it a suitable raw material for preparing artificial soil. The aluminum-silicon ratio (Al / Si, mass ratio) of the raw material is 0.2–0.8, with the main mineral phases such as quartz, kaolinite, calcite, feldspar, and mica accounting for over 90%, and the content of clay minerals such as kaolinite exceeding 10%. This invention improves the quality of artificial soil by strictly controlling the particle size of each stage of the product and through deep phase dissociation and selective crushing to maximize the separation and removal of unsuitable components from the coal gangue.

[0107] In some embodiments, the auxiliary materials include organic and inorganic auxiliary materials. The auxiliary materials and the gangue used for soil preparation need to be scientifically compounded based on the characteristics of the gangue raw material and the future soil environment. The organic auxiliary materials include organic source auxiliary materials, which can be suitable raw materials for producing organic fertilizers, such as commonly used organic fertilizers, sludge, and waste from planting, animal husbandry, and processing industries, as well as natural raw materials. The pollutant content of the organic source auxiliary materials must meet the limit requirements of standard NY / T525-2021 "Organic Fertilizer". The inorganic auxiliary materials include inorganic source auxiliary materials, including but not limited to commonly used clean fly ash and / or fly ash with heavy metals removed. The clean fly ash is a compliant raw material whose heavy metal content is lower than the screening value limit for pollutants in agricultural land soil as specified in standard GB15618-2018 "Soil Environmental Quality Agricultural Land Soil Pollution Risk Control Standard (Trial)". The heavy metal-removed fly ash refers to fly ash raw material with excessive heavy metal content, which has been treated by physical and chemical means to achieve the required heavy metal content. For example, inorganic auxiliary materials include fly ash, gasification slag, gypsum, steel slag, furnace slag, waste rock, and other industrial materials (including raw materials and waste) that can provide inorganic nutrients and improve soil structure for coal gangue-based ecological utilization materials. Furthermore, the pollutant content of the inorganic auxiliary materials must meet the requirements of standard GB8173 for raw material pollutant control.

[0108] In some embodiments, the mixing process includes: mixing the soil gangue, organic additives and inorganic additives in a primary manner to obtain a mixture, adding the microbial agent to the mixture for a secondary mixing, and stirring to obtain the homogeneous mixture.

[0109] Preferably, the microbial agent comprises microbial powder or microbial liquid. The microbial agent of this invention can be bacteria and / or fungi, preferably a combination of bacteria and fungi. Bacteria can activate beneficial elements in coal gangue, fungi can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and microorganisms have a weathering effect on minerals, thus improving their degradation and transformation effect on harmful organic matter such as PAHs in coal gangue, achieving the harmlessness of coal gangue. Exemplarily, the bacteria include, but are not limited to, any one or a combination of at least two of Mycobacterium, Bacillus megaterium, Rhodococcus, and Pseudomonas; the fungi include, but are not limited to, any one or a combination of at least two of white-rot fungi, Aspergillus flavus, Trichoderma echinospora, and Trichoderma harzianum.

[0110] Specifically, in the mixture, the mass fraction of the soil-making gangue is 50%–99%; the mass fraction of the organic additives is 1%–30%, preferably 1%–10%; and the mass fraction of the inorganic additives is 0%–30%, preferably 1%–10%. When the soil-making gangue itself contains the required inorganic additive components, no additional inorganic additives are needed to meet the material ratio requirements. In the homogeneous mixture, the mass fraction of the microbial agent is 0.03–0.2%, preferably 0.05–0.1%.

[0111] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature in the degradation reaction tank is 15–40°C, the reaction humidity is 1%–30%, and the reaction cycle is 15–45 days.

[0112] Furthermore, during the reaction process in the degradation reaction tank, a turning and aeration treatments are performed.

[0113] The reaction parameters in the degradation reaction tank of the present invention need to be adjusted according to the activation of raw materials and the difficulty of pollutant degradation, as well as the key technical indicators of the product soil. The process parameters of the turning and aeration treatments are adjusted by combining the artificial soil indicators with the operating parameters such as the turning frequency and aeration intensity.
