Abstract: Through field research, data collection and review of typical coal mining enterprises in 6 major coalfields in Shanxi province, grasp the influence of different coalfield coal quality characteristics, coal-bearing strata, distribution of coal seams and other factors on the mineral composition and chemical composition of gangue. Taking the coal gangue in Liulin County as a representative, the coal gangue produced by coal mines and coal washing plants around Jiajiaguan Township in Liulin County was sampled and tested for chemical composition, mineral composition, burnt whiteness and industrial analysis of coal quality, and the potential of its utilization for resource utilization was analyzed. Research shows that the physical and chemical properties of coal gangue in different regions vary greatly, and the physical and chemical properties of coal gangue in the same region also vary due to the differences in production processes, mining coal seams and so on. Summarized the problems of comprehensive utilization of coal gangue industry in Shanxi Province, exploratory proposed comprehensive utilization of coal gangue industry development mode, in order to provide reference for the development of comprehensive utilization of coal gangue industry in Shanxi Province.
