Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of desertification control technology, and in particular to a method for achieving desertification and revegetation using industrial solid waste. Background Technology

[0002] Desertification is a global ecological problem that seriously threatens the ecological environment and human survival. Traditional desertification control methods are costly, have limited effectiveness, and are difficult to sustain in the long term.

[0003] Phosphogypsum is a solid waste produced by the phosphate chemical industry. It is weakly acidic and rich in elements such as calcium and sulfur, which can improve soil structure. However, its use alone may lead to soil acidification. Red mud is waste residue produced by the aluminum industry. It is acidic and rich in elements such as iron and aluminum. It can neutralize soil acidity, but its use alone may lead to soil alkalization.

[0004] For desertification control, existing technologies, such as the patent application CN1373260A, describe a new process for gypsum-based sand fixation, desertification control, greening, and beautification in desert areas. This process involves using hemihydrate or anhydrous gypsum in desert regions. A certain amount of gypsum powder is sprinkled onto sand dunes after rain or artificial water spraying. Then, using a toothed tool or toothed machinery, the gypsum powder is mixed with sand grains containing a certain amount of moisture. Utilizing the gypsum hydration mechanism, a gypsum-sand mixture shell forms on the dune surface in a short time. This shell is then manufactured... At the same time, according to the shape of the sand dunes, grid-like or strip-like ridges are artificially constructed. Pedestrian passages and drainage ditches can also be built within a certain range of the ridges, or ground ridges made of sand dune contour lines can be constructed to allow rainwater to flow into the ridges. The water seepage holes in the plastic film allow water to permeate through the permeable holes of the ridges to form a moisture-retaining layer in the lower part of the cover layer. Trees and grasses are planted in the holes, providing a water supply and water retention layer for the plants. This achieves the goal of fixing sand, planting grass and trees, fixing sand, greening and beautifying, and preventing sandstorms and desertification, thus addressing both the symptoms and the root causes.

[0005] However, the existing technologies described above have the following problems: mixing gypsum powder with sand containing a certain amount of moisture and utilizing the gypsum hydration mechanism to form a gypsum-sand mixture shell on the dune surface in a short period of time is not suitable for plant growth, and the ecological restoration effect is not significant. How to effectively utilize industrial solid waste to achieve desert sand fixation and revegetation has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
