The article presents the results of complex studies of physical and chemical properties, such as sieve analysis, elemental and microstructural analysis, IR spectral analysis, and X-ray phase analysis. The results of the research allow concluding that coal mining waste is a valuable secondary raw material for the production of new multipurpose materials in the chemical and construction industries. Data obtained by scanning electron microscopy revealed the elemental composition of coal mining waste. As it turned out, the composition of the waste is dominated by carbon, silicon and iron. In addition, there are microelements in the form of magnesium, sulfur, and aluminum. All the data obtained will be used for the synthesis of humate-containing substances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
