China Coal Gangue Industry Market Research and Investment Forecast Report, 2013-2017

Coal gangue refers to the solid waste in the emission of coal mining and coal washing. It is the black and gray rock with low carbon content. And it emerges along with coal but harder than coal. The coal gangue includes the excavation gangue which produce in the progress of tunnel excavation, the gangue which mining from the top slab, bottom slab and mezzanine, and the washing gangue which pick out during the coal washing.

According to available statistics, the accumulated coal gangue in China is about 4.5 billion tons; the number of the gangue hill of scale is about 1,600 which take up an area of about 1.5 trillion hectares. The annually deposited amount grows at the speed of 0.15-0.2 billion tons. The accumulation of coal gangue not only takes up abundant lands, but also may cause self-combustion or explosion accident under specific conditions which will result in casualties and damage of coal gangue system that affects the safe production. What’s more, the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides and soot during the self-combustion of coal gangue will pollute the atmospheric environment around and seriously affects the health of residents in mining area.

The accumulation of coal gangue for long term will do harms to the ecological balance and bring serious damage to the living environment. However, the coal gangue can be the rich natural resources and with a broad application prospect in industry, agriculture, and building industry. Presently, the coal gangue in China is mainly used in power generation, brickmaking, cement-making, production of chemical products, and fertilizer-making. In 2010 the installed capacity to comprehensive utilization power plant of coal gangue and coal slime reaches 25 million kilowatts. The annual utilization amount of coal gangue and coal slime is about 0.13 billion tons (equal to about 40 million tons of standard coal); the coal gangue used for building-oriented walling material amounts to about 12 billion standard pieces with about 36 million tons of coal gangue and saves the energy which equal to about 1.2 million tons of standard coal.

The comprehensive utilization of coal gangue not only can ease the shortage of arable land, but also can turn the coal gangue into available resources to settle the shortage of resources. Moreover, it can also improve people’s living environment and reduce the risks of natural disasters. China has intensified enforcement of law in environmental protection while people have higher requirements to environmental quality. The environmental problem caused by the coal gangue is more and more significant. The coal gangue power generation can fully use the effective heat of coal gangue which also an effective way to develop the solid waste. Through testing and promoting, other developing methods are gradually adopted by coal mining industry. The special resource, coal gangue, will become our wealth and plays a more significant role in economic development and environmental protection. To sum up, the coal gangue industry with a bright future.
