ABSTRACT

As the main solid waste resource in mining areas, the large-scale utilization and disposal of coal gangue is crucial to resource and ecological issues. The soilification of coal gangue and its application as a soil amendment to improve soil quality and enhance agricultural productivity have become research focuses for waste reduction and harmless treatment. This paper aims to investigate the fundamental components and properties of coal gangue, analyze the principles of its soilification, summarize the methods of preparing soil amendments from coal gangue and their effects, and provide a brief analysis of the challenges and issues faced in the soilification process. It is intended to serve as a reference for further research and engineering applications.
