Article Abstract
In order to increase the utilization of coal slime, realize efficient utilization of resources and protect the environment, the feasibility of anaerobic fermentation technology employing coal slime was explored. The biodegradation of coal slimes and its influence on the utilization characteristics were analyzed using biogas production simulations, drying dehydration and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The results showed that the organic matter in various coal slimes could be converted to biomethane. In addition, the main methanogenic pathway was the reduction of CO. Moreover, lower the metamorphic degree of coal slimes and higher the ash content, more conducive were they to the dehydration of coal slimes. After biodegradation, the temperatures of four coal slimes during the stages of release of moisture, volatile combustion, residual coke combustion and burnout advanced to varying degrees. Moreover, the combustion performance improved. The research results provided a novel idea for the efficient utilization of coal slime.

Slime generally should be avoided in the coal flotation process. However, lignite exhibits a tendency for sliming under a flotation liquid-phase disturbance environment. This study innovatively proposes a high-efficiency lignite flotation strategy based on forced shear-induced sliming and preliminary desliming.

Moisture migration during the microwave drying process of coal slime is critical for improving drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Nevertheless, current methods for quantifying these migration behaviors remain insufficient. In this research, we employed a comprehensive approach that combines experimental investigations with multi-physical field simulations to quantitatively characterize the distribution and state of moisture within coal slime dough at different locations during microwave drying.

Heavy metals (HMs) significantly affect the anaerobic fermentation of coal slime (CS), while sawdust serves as a promising substrate for methane bioconversion and an effective adsorbent for HMs. To explore the migration of HMs and improve the conversion efficiency of CS and sawdust to biomethane, experiments were conducted on the co-fermentation of CS and sawdust with different mass ratios. FT-IR, ICP-MS, SEM-EDS, and metagenomic sequencing were employed to elucidate the regulation mechanism of microorganisms after adding sawdust in altering the toxicological environment.

High-efficiency flotation of low-rank coal slime is an urgent problem to be solved in the comprehensive recycling and utilization of coal resources. The flotation results presented that the flotation effect of a single collector on low-rank coal slime was poor, which made it difficult to improve its flotation index. When dodecamine was added alone, the yield and ash of cleaned coal were higher at 79.

To realize the comprehensive utilization of large amounts of high-ash coal slime and comprehensively understand the excellent performance of nutrient release and lead and cadmium adsorption of high-ash coal slime silicon composite materials, green and safe mild hydrothermal conditions (200 °C) were used to prepare the rich-rich coal slime. Zeolite/tobermorite composites (Z-TOBs) were used in this study. Batch adsorption tests and repeated extraction tests were used to determine whether silicon, potassium, and calcium nutrients of Z-TOBs have sustained release properties and are affected by pH.
