Article Abstract
To address the environmental hazards caused by coal gangue waste, coal gangue concrete (CGC) has been proposed as a solution. However, due to its porosity and low strength, CGC faces numerous challenges in practical applications. To further improve its performance, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material was introduced to confine it. In this study, the PFC3D-FLAC3D coupling analysis method was employed to simulate the uniaxial compression test of FRP confined coal gangue concrete specimens. The influence of different FRP types (GFRP, CFRP, BFRP) and coal gangue replacement rates (0%, 50%, 100%) on the axial compression performance of coal gangue concrete columns was analyzed. Based on the indoor uniaxial compression test of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) confined coal gangue concrete, the modeling and calibration of coal gangue concrete columns confined by different FRP sheets were conducted. The strength variation and microstructure evolution mechanism of coal gangue concrete specimens confined by three kinds of FRP were discussed. The results indicated that the numerical model is highly accurate and consistent with existing experiments. The type of FRP significantly influences the confinement effect on coal gangue concrete specimens. As the coal gangue replacement rate increases, both the strength and elastic modulus of the specimens decrease. The difference of the spatial distribution of strong contact number and strong contact force reflect the microscopic manifestation of the macroscopic strength. The crack evolution of FRP confined coal gangue concrete went through three stages during uniaxial compression. This study is of great significance for selecting the appropriate type of FRP confinement for concrete under different coal gangue replacement rates.

The disposal and management of coal gangue (CG) waste from coal mining pose significant environmental pollution challenges. Here, we propose utilizing CG as raw material to synthesize CG-based NaA-type molecular sieves (CG@NaA MS) through a high-temperature alkali fusion combined with a hydrothermal process. This approach enables the sustainable treatment of copper ions and methylene blue (MB) in wastewater.

The growing demand for rare earth elements has intensified environmental concerns in mining areas, particularly with respect to soil contamination by heavy metals and nutrient imbalances. This study investigated the potential of coal gangue-based silicon fertilizers (CG-SF) for the remediation of ion-type rare earth tailings soil (RETS). CG-SF was applied at various concentrations in controlled pot experiments, with ryegrass cultivation used as a bioindicator of soil health.

This study develops a novel geopolymer foamed concrete using coal gangue and slag as precursors, along with a composite alkali activator comprising sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide, based on the physical foaming method. The Box-Behnken Design within Response Surface Methodology was applied to optimize the mix proportions of coal gangue-slag-based geopolymer foamed concrete. The effects of alkali activator dosage, sodium silicate modulus, water-to-binder ratio, and foam content on 28-day compressive strength and thermal conductivity were systematically investigated to determine the optimal mix for achieving a balance between mechanical and thermal performance.

To address the environmental risks associated with large-scale stockpiling of red mud (RM) and coal gangue (CG) and the demand for their high-value utilization, this study proposes a ternary concrete system incorporating RM, fly ash (FA), and CG aggregate. The effects of RM content, FA content, CG aggregate replacement rate, and water-to-binder ratio on workability, mechanical properties, and frost resistance durability were systematically investigated through orthogonal experiments, with the underlying micro-mechanisms revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicate that workability is predominantly governed by the water-to-binder ratio, while the micro-aggregate effect of FA significantly enhances fluidity.

Printed circuit board sludge (PCBS), rich in high-concentration heavy metals, poses an environmental threat but also represents a potential metal resource. To address the rising need for advanced coking wastewater treatment, this study innovatively used PCBS and coal gangue to synthesize a low-cost ceramsite catalyst (CSC) via high-temperature sintering, applying it in a heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system. By optimizing material ratios and process parameters, and using techniques such as CSC characterization and Density Functional Theory calculations, the catalytic performance and reaction mechanism of CSC were systematically investigated.
