基于脱氢乙酸钠改良大豆脲酶的EICP固化砂土强度研究

    STRENGTH OF EICP-CEMENTED SAND USING SOYBEAN UREASE STABILIZED BY SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE

    • 摘要: 作为一种高效环保的土体加固技术,脲酶诱导碳酸钙沉淀技术(EICP)近年来在地质和岩土工程界得到广泛关注。然而,常规脲酶溶液在自然条件下具有易变质的天然缺陷,严重制约EICP技术的大规模推广应用。为解决EICP技术中大豆脲酶在常温条件下活性快速衰减问题,本研究通过防腐剂筛选试验,发现添加1.5%脱氢乙酸钠可将大豆脲酶有效储存期延长至360 h。在此基础上,通过EICP溶液试验和砂柱胶结试验,系统研究了改良脲酶对EICP反应效率及砂土固化效果的影响,并对比了单相法与低pH单相法的固化效果。结果表明:改良脲酶催化钙离子转化率超过90%;固化砂柱的无侧限抗压强度和碳酸钙含量平均值分别达到2027.1 kPa和7.4%,均高于脲酶原液处理组;低pH单相法可有效延缓反应启动约3 h,改善碳酸钙的分布均匀性。微观分析(SEM、XRD)显示,生成的碳酸钙主要为方解石晶体,充分覆盖砂颗粒表面及接触点,增强了颗粒联结强度。本研究可为EICP技术现场应用条件下大豆脲酶的储存与应用提供参考。

       

      Abstract: Enzyme-Induced Carbonate Precipitation (EICP) has attracted increasing attention in geological and geotechnical engineering due to its environmental friendliness and potential for soil improvement. However, the poor stability of conventional urease solutions under natural conditions remains a major limitation for the large-scale application of EICP technology. To address the rapid activity decay of soybean urease at ambient temperature, this study conducted preservative screening tests and found that the addition of 1.5% sodium dehydroacetate effectively extended the storage period of soybean urease to 360 h. Subsequently, EICP solution tests and sand column cementation experiments were performed to investigate the effects of modified urease on reaction efficiency and sand solidification performance. The cementation effects of the conventional single-phase method and the low-pH single-phase method were also compared. The results show that the modified urease achieves a calcium ion conversion efficiency exceeding 90%. The average unconfined compressive strength and calcium carbonate content of the cemented sand columns reach 2027.1 kPa and 7.4%, respectively, which are higher than those of the untreated urease solution group. The low-pH single-phase method effectively delays the initiation of the reaction by approximately 3 h and may contribute to a more uniform spatial distribution of calcium carbonate precipitation. Microscopic analyses using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that the precipitated calcium carbonate mainly consists of calcite crystals, which extensively cover the surfaces and contact points of sand particles, thereby enhancing particle bonding strength. This study provides a reference for the storage and practical application of soybean urease in EICP-based soil improvement under field conditions.
