Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Geology
  • Soil Science

Background:

  • Sandstorms are severe natural disasters in arid/semi-arid regions.
  • Controlling and mitigating sandstorms is a significant global challenge.
  • Improving surface stability and soil water retention are key to mitigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To mitigate sandstorm development through soil mineralization.
  • To evaluate enzymatic induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) for desert sand solidification.
  • To assess EICP's effectiveness in improving soil properties and wind resistance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing enzymatic induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) to induce calcium carbonate precipitation.
  • Applying EICP to desert sands to form a solidified surface crust.
  • Measuring improvements in soil water retention and resistance to high winds.

Main Results:

  • EICP effectively solidified desert sands, forming a hard crust layer.
  • The method demonstrated high efficiency and productivity across a broad temperature range (10-70°C).
  • Increased spraying times of EICP enhanced resistance to high winds.

Conclusions:

  • EICP is a viable and efficient method for desert sand solidification.
  • This technique improves soil water retention and wind erosion resistance.
  • EICP offers a promising solution for mitigating sandstorm disasters.
