Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of mining and environmental protection, and specifically relates to an emulsion modifier and its application in the control of heavy metals in coal gasification slag. Background Technology

[0002] Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and arsenic are commonly found in coal gasification slag. Their content is significantly influenced by the origin of the raw coal and the gasification process parameters, with some indicators exceeding the limits set by the "Soil Environmental Quality Standard for Agricultural Land Soil Pollution Risk Control" (GB15618-2018) and "Construction Sand" (GB / T 14684-2022). During the resource utilization of coal gasification slag, heavy metals are easily released through leaching and volatilization, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, controlling the release of heavy metals from coal gasification slag is a major challenge.

[0003] For the control of heavy metals in coal gasification slag, CN202510766435.5 describes a carbon-nano zero-valent iron composite material based on coal gasification slag and its preparation method, which can achieve efficient removal of Cr(VI) from water within 5 minutes (removal rate of 78.9%) and has significant structural stability. CN202510046907.X describes an oxidative leaching separation treatment system and method for heavy metals in coal gasification slag, which utilizes chemical oxidants to pre-oxidize and change the binding form of heavy metals in the solid in strongly stable bound states such as oxides, chlorides, carbonates or complex compounds, thereby improving the migration performance of heavy metals. Then, acidic leaching agents are used to elute and separate the easily migrating heavy metals from the solid through proton exchange and organic chelation. CN202510029082.0 describes a harmless treatment system and method for coal gasification slag, which achieves harmless treatment of coal gasification slag through screening, grinding, sorting, compound leaching, chemical oxidation and water washing adjustment. Existing methods for controlling heavy metals in coal gasification slag are cumbersome to operate, costly, and have limited capacity for heavy metal removal.

[0004] Therefore, this invention proposes a modification method using emulsion as a modifier and employing a mixer or ball mill to modify coal gasification slag. This process is simple, low-cost, and can achieve the goal of controlling heavy metals, aiming to provide a new method for heavy metal prevention and control, coal-based solid waste treatment, and green mining.
