Abstract
Using a soil improvement biotechnology based on microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to form a horizontal water barrier in foundation pit dewatering can not only achieve a good dewatering control effect, but also control the cost and obtain good economic and environmental benefits. In this study, taking the Shanghai layer ⑨ sand as the research object, the solution injected into the layer ⑨ sand by MICP grouting technology includes bacterial solution (Sporosarcina pasteurii) and cementation solution (urea and CaCl2 solution). The migration mechanism of the bacterial solution and cementation solution in groundwater was analyzed through batch experiment and column test, and the mathematical model of migration was established. The dynamic adsorption characteristics of the S. pasteurii, Ca2+, and urea were obtained by dynamic adsorption test. Through isothermal adsorption test, the Freundlich isotherm was used to describe the isothermal adsorption of S. pasteurii onto fine sand, and the partition coefficient of the S. pasteurii was found to be 1.5 × 10−7 L/mg. The Langmuir isotherm can be used truly reflect the isothermal adsorption of Ca2+ onto fine sand. The distribution coefficient of the Ca2+ was 7 × 10−8 L/mg. The maximum adsorption capacity of the solute was 2404.8 mg/kg. The adsorption capacity of the urea was very small. According to the sand column test, the vertical dispersion was 11.5 cm. Due to the obvious size effect of dispersion, the sensitivity of dispersion in actual working conditions should be analyzed in a subsequent numerical simulation. The determined solute transport parameters provide support for the further study of the numerical simulation of the solute transport process of the HSRB formed by MICP grouting technology and provide a basis for further field application.
