The invention relates to the field of artificial construction materials, and particularly relates to an environment-friendly artificial stone with low cost and high strength and a preparation method thereof.
With the advancement of the society, the progress of the economy, and the rapid development of all walks of life, we can see that the damage to the environment is getting more and more serious, and more and more people are realizing that part of the current economic development is at the expense of environmental damage. The damage to the environment is not only a large amount of predatory use of various resources, but also the random discard of used waste. As for the environmental problems are increasingly prominent, people are more and more aware of the importance of the environmental protection.
Coal gangue is a solid waste discharged during the coal mining and washing process, is a kind of black-gray rock with low carbon content and harder than coal, associated with coal seams during coal formation, and the main components thereof are Al2O3 and SiO2, it has been accumulated about 10 million tons in China over the years and continues to discharge about 1 million tons per year, which are not only accumulated to occupy the land, but also may be spontaneous combustion to pollute the air or cause fires. Coal gangue is mainly used for the production of coal gangue cement, concrete lightweight aggregates, refractory bricks and other construction materials, moreover, it can also be used for recovering coal which may be fired together with gangue to produce electricity, used for producing chemical products such as crystalline aluminum chloride and water glass, extracting precious rare metals, and can also be used as fertilizer, however, it is still far from being able to consume excessive gangue inventory. In recent years, China has introduced a series of preferential policies to reduce income tax and added-value tax for the comprehensive utilization of coal gangue. These policies demonstrate the state's emphasis on and support for the comprehensive utilization of resources. In conjunction with the reform of fiscal taxation, finance and pricing systems, local governments should also actively study and formulate incentives for fiscal, taxation, and price promotion for the comprehensive utilization of coal gangue. If the blast-furnace gas of iron and steel plant and the industrial waste gas with low-combustion from the coking plant and other manufacturing enterprises are used as the energy source, and the waste tailing quartz and coal gangue can be quenched by calcination water to form an environmentally-friendly fritted sand material with high hardness which is bound to have a huge market demand, and also to be a green environmental protection industry.
Artificial quartz slate is a new type of composite material, which is made by mixing unsaturated polyester resin with high-quality quartz sand, filler and pigment, adding a small amount of initiator, and processing through a certain manufacturing procedure. In the manufacturing process, different pigments can be used to make products with bright colors and jade-like luster like natural marble. The artificial quartz slate is gradually becoming decoration and construction market newly favors in the recent years for the advantages of no toxicity, non-radioactive, flame retardant, non-stick oil, non-soiling, anti-bacteria, abrasion resistant, impact resistant, easy maintenance, seamless splicing arbitrarily shapes and etc. Artificial slate can also be combined with a variety of materials and processing methods to create a unique design effect. However, the resin used in artificial quartz stone is synthesized by components of petroleum cracking, and the petroleum resources are limited; moreover, all the adopted high-quality quartz sands are selected, and the remaining more than 90% of the quartz sand with impurities are mostly abandoned, which causes great damage to the ecological environment.
For the concept of “green”, conventional materials can be divided into two categories: one is the material that pollutes the environment because of its nature, which should be responded to abandonment attitude, and what we should do is to vigorously develop new materials that can be regenerated green; the second is the material that pollutes the environment for the production process, we should improve the production process thereof and explore green and sustainable production mode. Therefore, it is necessary to use new materials and methods to produce new green artificial stone, which can replace conventional artificial quartz stone.
