Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid waste resource utilization technology, specifically to a composite masterbatch of coal gangue powder and fly ash and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Coal dominates my country's energy structure, and the resulting large quantities of industrial solid waste, such as coal gangue and fly ash, place severe pressure on the environment. Coal gangue is a solid waste discharged during coal mining and washing; it has a low carbon content and high hardness. Fly ash is the fine ash collected from flue gas after coal combustion. Current statistics show that my country produces over 100 million tons of fly ash annually, with a utilization rate of only about 25%. Most of it is disposed of through ash storage yards, which not only occupy large amounts of land but also pollute the soil, water, and air.

[0003] In existing technologies, the main methods for disposing of fly ash and coal gangue include: landfill (which wastes land resources and causes potential environmental pollution), low-grade building material applications (such as the production of bricks and cement, which have low added value), and adsorbent preparation (which involves complicated procedures and requires sophisticated equipment). Although some studies have attempted to use fly ash as a plastic filler, problems such as poor dispersibility, poor compatibility, and impact on the mechanical properties of the products exist.

[0004] For example, patent publication number CN106064048A discloses a fly ash / coal gangue composite material and its preparation process, which mixes fly ash and coal gangue in a certain proportion and adds an adsorption aid for use in the field of adsorbents, but the application scope of this product is limited.

[0005] For example, patent publication number CN105949565A discloses an LDPE plastic masterbatch containing fly ash and its preparation method. It uses fly ash and waste LDPE plastic to prepare masterbatch for drip irrigation tape, but it mainly focuses on specific application areas and fails to make full use of coal gangue resources.

[0006] Existing technologies for the high-value utilization of coal gangue and fly ash include the preparation of building materials, ceramics, and composite materials, but they suffer from the following shortcomings: Single raw material: Most utilize single solid waste as raw material, failing to fully utilize the synergistic effect of the two; Complex process: Requires high-temperature calcination (e.g., above 1200℃) or complex modification, resulting in high energy consumption and cost; Performance limitations: Products have insufficient mechanical properties or degradability, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-end materials. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a composite masterbatch of coal gangue powder and fly ash and its preparation method to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0031] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a composite masterbatch of coal gangue powder and fly ash and its preparation method, which has the following beneficial effects:
