Development of a novel CaCO3 PILP based cementation method for quartz sand
In this work, an aqueous calcium carbonate precursor solution capable of grouting loose quartz sand is developed and tested for the cementation of an Ottawa fine sand sample. Poly(acrylic acid) is used as a stabilizer of the CaCO3 liquid precursor phase resulting in homogenous droplets of the mineral precurs Biomolecular crystal engineering …
