Detailed Description
As a green and environment-friendly new process method, the MICP technology uses urease-producing microorganisms as a medium, and under the condition of the existence of urea and calcium ions, the calcium carbonate with certain strength and cementing function is generated by utilizing natural biological induced mineralization, and can replace cement chemical cementing materials to a certain extent, as shown in figure 1, so that the engineering requirements are met, the carbon dioxide emission can be greatly reduced, and the adverse effects of greenhouse effect and other chemical harmful substances on the environment are reduced. The calcium carbonate mainly plays two roles in the cementing body, and firstly, the calcium carbonate can bear the load with certain strength; secondly, calcium carbonate is deposited in pores among the calcareous sand particles to firmly bond the loose sand particles together to form a compact whole. The hardened layer formed by cementing the calcareous sand by the MICP technology not only can improve the bearing capacity of the soil body, but also has certain liquefaction resistance.
A microbial curing kit is used for curing calcareous sand in situ, and the first component is 5-25% by massAcetic acid; the second component is Sporosarcina pasteurii (OD 600 is 0.5-2.0, urease activity level is 1.8-2.0 mS/(cm-min)-1) And liquid medium, the medium formulation is: 20g/L of yeast extract, 10g/L of ammonium sulfate and 15.73g/L of 0.13mol Tris-Buffer; the third component was 60.06g/L urea and a solidified liquid containing 3g/L of a Nutrient Broth from a supplier of Oxoid, under the English name Nutrient Broth, model M1168.
The surface calcareous sand 2 is required to be sprayed or soaked by acetic acid 3 with specific concentration before the microorganism is solidified so as to obtain sufficient calcium ions, and the calcium ions are used as a material basis for assisting the microorganism planting and inducing the production of calcium carbonate. In order to determine the optimal mass fraction of acetic acid in the first fraction, the following protocol was used in this example to study the 12h dissolution rate of calcareous sands with different concentrations of acetic acid: respectively and uniformly mixing 6g of glacial acetic acid and unequal pure water according to the preset mass concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%, soaking 5g of calcareous sand in each part of acetic acid solution, carrying out 12-hour full reaction, filtering, washing with deionized water, drying residual calcareous sand, calculating the dissolution rate of acetic acid with different concentrations on calcium carbonate, and selecting the optimal acetic acid concentration by comprehensively considering the dissolution efficiency and the engineering economic benefit. The test results are shown in the following table:
TABLE 1 dissolution rate of calcareous sands in acetic acid of different concentrations for 12h
Figure 362037DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
The test result of calcium carbonate acidolysis by acetic acid shows that when the concentration of acetic acid is 20%, calcium carbonate close to 90% can be dissolved in 12h, the advantage is obvious compared with the result of low concentration, when the concentration is 25%, the change of the concentration of acetic acid of 5% only increases the dissolution rate of 3%, and the economic benefit is greatly reduced. Therefore, 20% is selected as the optimal acetic acid concentration, so that the dissolution rate of the calcareous sand is ensured, and unnecessary engineering expenditure is avoided.

Calcium ions required by the cementing material are generated by in-situ or nearby acidolysis, and no additional configuration is needed; toxic and harmful substances such as chloride ions, sulfate ions, nitrate ions and the like are not additionally introduced in the cementing process, and the microorganism induced mineralization is a natural process and has strong adaptability to the construction environment; after the cementation is finished, later maintenance is not needed, and other materials are not needed to cover and support. The method saves a large amount of manpower and material resources and effectively reduces the engineering investment.
