Coal gangue is a common solid waste in coal mining area, which causes great environmental pollution. Using coal gangue as filling material of highway subgrade can turn waste into treasure. In order to study the greening situation of the road section with coal gangue instead of soil as subgrade filling material, the pH and electrical conductivity (EC) were studied, The electrical conductivity (EC) and pH value of coal gangue used in a highway subgrade test section under different soaking time and initial pH solution were measured, and their change characteristics were analyzed. Both of them increased with the extension of time, and the change trend of EC was more severe. The results of correlation analysis showed that pH and EC were highly positively correlated, and the correlation coefficients were 0.7941, 0.8198 and 0.8639 at initial ph4.1, 5.2 and 6.5, respectively. On the whole, pH is proportional to EC. By mastering the change characteristics and correlation between pH and conductivity of coal gangue under different pH conditions, it can provide certain data and theoretical support for the greening research of coal gangue as subgrade filler.
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.
