Abstract

        This article presents an ecological and biological harmless method, soil strengthening using microorganisms, to produce biocement. Two methods were used in the study: microbial injection and mixing method. Two types of each method were used: a fixed and non-fixed form of injection and a styrylated and untyrylated form of mixing method. The microorganism Sporosarcina pasteurii was used in the process of biocement production, studies were carried out to strengthen the sand and improve various mechanical properties of the sand, and the results were obtained.   

         The possibility of using calcium carbonate (calcite) precipitation to strengthen sand by microbiological method has increased, leading to its widespread dissemination and study. At present, the method of strengthening sand has a great biotechnological significance, is a cost-effective and promising method compared with other technologies. In the research work using Sporosarcina pasteurii microorganisms, a collon of sand was strengthened by calcium carbonate precipitation.

        When examining the biocement with the SEM-BSE microscope and X-rays, the calcium carbonates can be clearly seen. So, summarizing the work, it was proved that the microorganism Sporosarcina pasteurii can be used to strengthen the sand. In a study of sand strength in water erosion proved that the fixation injection is more effective than the injection without fixation.

According to the mixing method, culturing bacteria in sterile medium without centrifugation has no negative effect on the reproductive activity of microorganisms and the formation of calcite crystals.
