Abstract

At present, the annual discharge of coal-based solid waste in China has exceeded 800 million tons, but the mainstream treatment methods are still simple treatment methods such as goaf backfilling and openpit stacking. The massive stacking of coal-based solid waste is not only a serious waste of resources itself, but also brings a series of problems such as environmental pollution. Under the “Carbon Peak” and “Carbon Neutrality” strategy in China, in order to achieve green and rapid development of the coal industry, it is necessary to solve the problem of coal-based solid waste treatment and achieve green and comprehensive utilization of coal-based solid waste. Taking coal gangue, gasification slag and fly ash as representative coal-based solid waste, the present situation of coal-based solid waste production in China and the basic properties of coal-based solid waste are introduced. The utilization status and application characteristics of coal-based solid waste in cement concrete, roadbed materials, soil improvement and so on are focused on, and the resource utilization potential of coal-based solid waste is analyzed and summarized. Then the application prospect of coal-based solid waste in high-value utilization in the future is analyzed and prospected.
