SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF A COMPOSITE MATERIAL BASED ON COAL MINING WASTE

Аннотация

The article presents the results of a study of the synthesis of composite materials based on coal waste
combined with coal and polymer raw materials, using ultrasonic chemistry methods and determining the possibility
of their use as an active mineral additive for replacing part of cement in fine-grained concrete. By varying the
composition of the matrix and the filler, a composite material is obtained whose properties are quantitatively and
qualitatively different from the properties of each of its components. As a filler in the composition of the composite
material, burned rock is used - the product of oxidative self-firing of waste rock, extracted together with coal to the
surface. Burned rocks contain an organic part (unburned carbonaceous impurities) and a mineral part (calcined claysandy part). Features of the material composition of burned rocks, coal industry waste allows us to consider them as
secondary mineral raw materials. The binder in the composite material used is thiourea-formaldehyde resin. The
resin was obtained by the standard method of polycondensation of thiourea with formaldehyde at a molar ratio of
thiocarbamide:formaldehyde = 1:2. The choice of thiourea-formaldehyde resin is due to the availability, water
solubility and the presence of a sufficient number of proton acceptor centers capable of complexation with a
modifier. The modifier for composite materials used a coal waste product related to promising natural polymers in
nanotechnology, sodium humate, extracted by alkaline extraction from oxidized coal from the Shubarkol deposit.
Sodium humate refers to polyfunctional polymers with a unique combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic sites, a
variety of oxygen-containing functional groups, aromatic, heterocyclic and other groups. All this suggests a high
ability of sodium humate to intermacromolecular interactions with both the burned rock and thiourea-formaldehyde
resin. Composite material based on burned rock, sodium humate with thiourea-formaldehyde resin was synthesized
by impregnation using ultrasonic treatment. The decisive role of ultrasonic activation is shown and the effectiveness
of its application to the process of producing composites is noted. The modern physicochemical and
physicomechanical methods have characterized the composition and structure of the obtained composite materials.
The mineralogical composition of composite materials was studied using x-ray phase analysis, and surface
morphology based on microscopic analysis using a scanning electron microscope. Filling the composite material
with burnt rock provides higher physical and mechanical properties. The strength of burnt-filled composites is higher
than that of samples of a similar composition without burnt rock. The resulting composite can be used as a building
material
