  • Publication number: 20260152416
    Abstract: A spoil-based lightweight porous backfill for purifying waste gas and wastewater and a method of use thereof are disclosed. The spoil-based lightweight porous backfill is formed with a plurality of interconnected pores, and the pores are loaded with a purification material. The purification material can purify wastewater and/or waste gas passing through the pores. Compared to traditional closed-cell porous backfills, the spoil-based lightweight porous backfill of the present technical solution is of an open-cell type, possessing strong adsorption capacity. After being loaded with the purification material, it can serve as a multifunctional purification body to provide a purification function for treating low-concentration wastewater and waste gas, thereby realizing an environmental purification function on the basis of providing a backfilling function.
