The invention discloses a method for preparing a
ceramic material by virtue of
copper tailings, and belongs to the fields of industrial
solid waste resource comprehensive utilization and
environmental protection. The method comprises the following steps of ball-milling and mixing 35 to 55 parts by weight of
copper tailings, 25 to 40 parts by weight of steel
slag, 10 to 25 parts by weight of clay, 0 to 15 parts by weight of
feldspar, 0 to 10 parts by weight of
talc and the like, and executing the procedures of sieving,
drying, pressing or
extrusion molding,
sintering and the like to obtain the
ceramic material, wherein the firing temperature is 1,080 to 1,160 DEG C. According to the method, the
ceramic material is synergistically prepared from the
copper tailings and the steel
slag, and the ratio of the using amount of industrial
solid waste to the total weight of the raw materials in the ceramic material reaches 65 to 85 percent, so that the industrial
solid waste can be resourcefully utilized in large scale, and obvious
social benefits and environmental benefits can be achieved; the copper tailings and the steel
slag are small in
granularity, so that ball-milling
energy consumption in a ceramic material production process can be reduced; the
sintering temperature is lower, so that the
sintering energy consumption of the ceramic material can be reduced, and
economic benefits are achieved; the method is relatively simple in process and easy to popularize and use.
