Study on coal gangue weathering into soil and carbon emission reduction based on gas bio-oxidation

  • 摘要: 瓦斯和煤矸石是煤炭开采过程中产生的主要副产品,低浓度瓦斯大量直排造成碳排放与资源浪费,煤矸石的大量堆存破坏生态环境,两者制约了煤炭行业的可持续发展。针对瓦斯碳排放与煤矸石生态破坏问题,提出瓦斯生物氧化产有机酸用于加速煤矸石风化成土的新思路。通过分析甲烷生物氧化的代谢产物组成,研究其对煤矸石生物风化的影响,评估风化产物土壤性能,阐明瓦斯生物氧化协同煤矸石风化成土的过程机理,并核算碳减排量,以期为煤矸石的生态基质化利用与瓦斯碳减排开拓新途径。研究表明:甲烷氧化菌能有效附着在煤矸石表面并降解转化瓦斯,其代谢产物为有机酸和胞外聚合物;有机酸可强化煤矸石的结构粉化与矿物分解重构,胞外多聚物可促进煤矸石风化颗粒的再团聚;煤矸石生物风化产物中有机碳、碱解氮、速效钾质量分数分别提升223%、185%、105%,风化产物的植物发芽率和生物量分别提升43%、236%;瓦斯中甲烷转化为有机碳形式实现生物固碳,以碳酸盐矿物形式实现碳封存,每立方米反应器每天碳减排量为16.47 kg,每公斤煤矸石每天固碳量为4.49 g。

     

    Abstract: Both coal gangue and gas are the main by-products in the process of coal mining. The direct discharge of low concentration of gas easily causes carbon emission and resource waste, the large accumulation of coal gangue destroys the ecological environment, which seriously restricts the sustainable development of the coal industry. To solve the problems of carbon emission from gas and ecological destruction of coal gangue, a new strategy is proposed based on that the organic acids produced from the biological oxidation of coal gangue accelerate the weathering of coal gangue into soil. The composition of metabolic products from methane bio-oxidation was analyzed, and the impact of these products on coal gangue bio-weathering was investigated. Then, the soil performance of weathering products was evaluated, and the mechanism of gas bio-oxidation and coal gangue weathering into soil was explained in detail. The carbon reduction amount was also calculated. In order to open up a new way for the ecological matrix utilization of coal gangue and the reduction of gas carbon emissions. The results showed that methane-oxidizing bacteria effectively adhered to the surface of coal gangue to degrade gas, and their metabolites were consisted of organic acids and extracellular polymers. The generated organic acids enhanced the structural pulverization and mineral decomposition reconstruction of coal gangue, while extracellular polymers improved the reagglomeration of weathered particles. The mass fractions of organic carbon, alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, and available potassium in weathering products were increased by 111%, 185%, and 105%, and the plant germination rate and biomass of weathering product were increased by 43% and 236%. Methane in the gas was converted to organic carbon, which realized carbon sequestration in the form of biological carbon and carbonate minerals. The carbon emission reduction of the reactor is 16.47 kg/m3 per day, and the carbon sequestration amount of coal gangue is 4.49 g/kg per day.
