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. …”

CPFD Simulation of Operation Characteristics of a 10t/d Sludge and Biomass Co-incineration Fluidized Bed Reactor by REN Shaohui, YU Qiao, LIN Li, XIANG Jiatao, MA Lun, ZHANG Shihong

“…Reactor geometry adjustments induced <2% compositional changes, but opposing feed inlets revolutionized mixing dynamics: fuel dispersion uniformity eliminated localized rich zones, intensifying turbulence to boost CO₂ yield by 24% (15.74% vs. 12.66%), enhance CNO→NO conversion (NO↑14%; CNO↓32%), and homogenize temperatures—though a persistent flow dead zone in the upper-right corner induced a 1,217 K hotspot.ConclusionsThis study establishes definitive operational guidelines for sludge-biomass co-incineration FBRs: 1) Maintain primary air >805 Nm³/h to ensure turbulent fluidization while limiting secondary air to ≤30% total flow to balance burnout enhancement against CNO accumulation; 2) Restrict biomass particle size ≤3 cm (equivalent spherical diameter) and prioritize rice husk over wood for high-S/N sludge blends to minimize CNO/H₂S emissions; 3) Employ dolomite bed material (150-275μm) at 500 mm initial height and 800-850℃ for moderate SO₂ control while avoiding particle sizes >225μm that degrade fluidization; 4) Implement opposing feed inlets as a low-cost retrofit to intensify turbulence, elevating NO output by 14% and reducing CNO by 32%—though complementary design modifications (e.g., baffle installation, outlet repositioning) are recommended to eliminate identified thermal hotspots. …”

Alterations in Soil Arthropod Communities During the Degradation of Bayinbuluk Alpine Grasslands in China Closely Related to Soil Carbon and Nitrogen by Tianle Kou, Yang Hu, Yuanbin Jia, Maidinuer Abulaizi, Yuxin Tian, Zailei Yang, Hongtao Jia

“…Grassland degradation influences arthropod community structure and abundance, which, in turn, modulate element cycling in grassland ecosystems through predation and soil structure modification. In order to explore the influence of degradation on arthropods in Bayinbuluk alpine grassland, we selected four degraded transects (i.e., non-degraded: ND, lightly degraded: LD, moderately degraded: MD, and heavily degraded: HD) to collect soil samples and determine their composition, spatial distribution, and diversity patterns, in addition to the factors driving community change. …”
