Description
Summary:SEM, particle size analysis, and contaminant content of coarse coal gasification slag (CCGS) produced by Shenhua Xinjiang Chemical Co., Ltd. were measured, respectively, and the physicochemical properties of the soil after improvement using gasification slag were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the slag was porous, the particle size was small and the pollutant content was extremely low. Its pollutants were closely related to the pollutants in the raw coal. The coarse slag had a limited effect on soil particle size and texture improvement; the soil water retention performance increased with the increase of proportion of the slag, while pH and conductivity decreased; the improvement effect on soil SOM and available potassium was remarkable; the larger the proportion of the slag, the stronger the effect on maintaining soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, and available phosphorus. However, the effect was small, and increased the ion content, especially the cation in soil, and the sum of the eight soil ions before and after evaporation decreased. The results demonstrated that the CCGS generated by the corporation is feasible for soil improvement, and the study has important reference value for the comprehensive utilization of coal gasification slag.
