Research progress and prospect of underground utilization of coal-based solid waste functional materials by Jixiong ZHANG, Nan ZHOU, Hengfeng LIU, Yachen XIE, Zhihui SUN, Shenyang OUYANG

“…The research findings indicate that: through activation modification, fiber reinforcement, and gradation optimization, the mechanical properties and environmental adaptability of construction-type functional materials can be significantly enhanced; the thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and heat storage coefficient of heat extraction-type functional materials are 1.75, 2.12, and 1.72 times that of traditional materials, respectively, with the most significant influencing factor being the shaped phase-change materials; water purification-type functional materials effectively remove heavy metal ions from mine water through multiple reactions, including physical adsorption, ion exchange, surface complexation adsorption, and chemical precipitation; after electrical modification, energy storage-type functional materials can regulate their surface electronic structure and chemical properties, thereby improving the electrical conductivity, energy storage density, and cyclic stability of the materials; the internal mineralization and hydration products of negative carbon-type functional materials can strengthen their pore structure and further achieve long-term CO2 sequestration; load-bearing functional materials, as the fundamental materials for controlling the stability of rock layers and goaf areas, are often enhanced in terms of self-stability, mechanical properties, and conveying performance through particle size gradation, composite optimization, and mechanical activation. …”
