Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is a naturally occurring process whereby bacteria produce enzymes that accelerate the precipitation of calcium carbonate. This process is facilitated through various bacterial activities, including ureolysis, sulfate reduction, iron reduction, and denitrification. The application of MICP has been widespread in a range of engineering fields, such as geotechnical, concrete, environmental, and…
In this review paper, the applications of biomineralization in environmental geotechnics are analyzed. Three environmental geotechnics scenarios, namely heavy metal contamination immobilization and removal, waste and CO2 containment, and recycled use of industrial byproducts, are discussed and evaluated regarding current trends and prospects. The biomineralization process, specifically the Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology, is…
As eco-friendly methods, microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) method was used to reinforce the calcareous sand in the South China Sea in this paper. The durability characteristics and deterioration mechanism of MICP-reinforced calcareous sand under various environment factors were investigated synthetically based on the unconfined compressive strength, mass loss rate and microscopic morphology in laboratory…
