[0002] Saline soils are widely distributed in China, mostly located in cold regions. Under harsh climatic conditions, the multi-physical fields within saline soils interact, leading to a series of environmental problems such as soil salinization and desertification. During the freezing process, water and salt accumulate at the frozen surface, causing engineering defects such as salt swelling and frost heave, which seriously endanger the safety and durability of engineering structures. With the rapid development of transportation, water conservancy and other engineering projects, controlling engineering defects such as salt swelling and frost heave in saline soils has become an important issue to be addressed in order to ensure the safe use of buildings and improve regional economic benefits.
[0003] Soil is often categorized into various types based on the type and degree of salt content, and different types of saline soil often possess different material properties. Currently, the most common desalination method for saline soil is water-change soaking desalination, which involves repeatedly soaking the soil and replacing it with pure water to reduce the salt content and achieve desalination. While this method is simple to operate, it also has several problems. First, each water change requires a significant amount of time for thorough soil soaking; second, each water change uses several times the amount of pure water as the soil, wasting a large amount of water resources; and third, the wastewater after soaking, lacking filtration, easily leads to soil particle loss, affecting the accuracy of the test.

The heat pump host 15 adopts a dual-condition compressor and is linked with the intelligent control system 3 for intelligent temperature control. When the soil monitoring system 2 detects that the foundation temperature is ≤ the set low temperature threshold, the intelligent control system 3 controls the heat pump host 15 to switch to the heating mode, increases the compressor operating frequency, extracts heat from the constant heat layer soil, and transfers the heat to the foundation soil of the target desalination area through the circulating water system, maintains the pore water liquid state, reduces the viscosity of the salt solution, and provides migration conditions for electroosmotic desalination. When the foundation temperature is ≥ the set low temperature threshold, it switches to the cooling mode to discharge heat to the ground and avoid high temperature causing salt crystallization and clogging of pores.
[0100] In this embodiment, the ground source heat pump system 4 exchanges heat with the underground constant temperature layer through a vertical single U-shaped buried pipe. The vertical single U-shaped buried pipe uses high thermal conductivity materials and an optimized layout to improve heat exchange efficiency. The heat pump host 15 is equipped with a dual-mode compressor, which switches between heating and cooling modes under the control commands issued by the intelligent control system 3. When heating, heat is extracted from the deep soil and transferred to the roadbed soil through the circulating water system to maintain the liquid state of the pore water; when cooling, excess heat is discharged underground to avoid salt retention caused by high temperature.
[0101] Optionally, the electroosmotic desalination system 5 includes an electroosmotic electrode 16, an electrode heating module, and an anti-corrosion conductive coating 20; the anode 1601 and cathode 1602 of the electroosmotic electrode 16 are symmetrically and vertically arranged on both sides of the road, and the surfaces of the anode 1601 and cathode 1602 are coated with the anti-corrosion conductive coating 20; the electroosmotic electrode 16 is arranged in a multi-electrode array pattern with equal spacing, covering the target desalination area; the electrode heating module consists of a high thermal conductivity gravel layer 17, a conductive ceramic-based electrothermal film 18, and a distributed sensor 19, and is used for thermoelectric co-desalination in low-temperature environments.
[0102] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the electroosmotic desalination system 5. Its working principle is to construct a stable DC electric field environment by symmetrically arranging positive and negative electrodes on both sides of the foundation, which causes salt ions in the road foundation soil to migrate in a direction under the drive of the electric field force, thereby gradually enriching the dispersed salt ions to the area around the electrodes, and finally achieving effective separation and discharge of salt through the matching salt collection and discharge system 6.
[0103] In this embodiment, the cathode 1602 and anode 1601, which are embedded in the target desalination area, are selected according to the standards of high chemical stability and strong corrosion resistance. Commonly used materials include, but are not limited to, graphite electrodes, titanium-plated ruthenium electrodes, and stainless steel electrodes.
[0104] In this embodiment, the electrode heating module consists of a high thermal conductivity gravel layer 17, a conductive ceramic-based electrothermal film 18, and a distributed sensor 19. The high thermal conductivity gravel layer 17 is filled around the electrode because it has excellent thermal conductivity and good permeability, which can accelerate the diffusion of heat into the soil and also serve as a drainage channel to remove melted ice water and prevent secondary freezing. The conductive ceramic-based electrothermal film 18 is coated on the electrode surface, and its high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance enable uniform surface heating. The distributed sensor 19 consists of temperature sensors embedded at key positions (top, middle, and end) of the electrode to provide real-time feedback on the temperature difference in the heating area and dynamically adjust the heat distribution. The function of the electrode heating module is to activate the electrode heating function and simultaneously maintain a constant current output of the electroosmotic electric field when the soil temperature is detected to be lower than the preset low temperature threshold through the regulation of the intelligent control system 3. This suppresses water freezing and reduces the viscosity of the salt solution through thermoelectric synergy, thereby ensuring the efficiency of salt ion migration kinetics in low temperature environments.
[0105] In this embodiment, an anti-corrosion conductive coating 20 is brushed onto the surface of the electroosmotic electrode 16 to reduce the risk of corrosion from direct contact between the electrode and the soil; the electroosmotic electrode 16 is vertically buried deep into the soil layer to ensure that the electric field formed can completely cover the target desalination area; the electroosmotic electrode 16 adopts a multi-electrode array pattern with equal spacing and uniform distribution, which aims to effectively improve the desalination efficiency and enhance the spatial uniformity of the desalination process, so as to ensure that the desalination effect of the entire foundation soil reaches the optimal state.
[0106] Optionally, the salt collection and discharge system 6 includes a porous collection pipe 21 and a filter geotextile 22; the porous collection pipe 21 is horizontally arranged on both sides of the road, and both ends of the porous collection pipe 21 are connected to the anode 1601 or the cathode 1602 of the electroosmotic electrode 16. It is a corrosion-resistant pipe with uniform pores inside, used to collect and transport salt solution to the drainage ditch; the filter geotextile 22 covers the outer surface of the porous collection pipe 21 and is made of polyester or polypropylene synthetic fibers, used to trap soil particles and allow salt solution to pass through.
[0107] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the salt collection and discharge system 6. The porous collection pipe 21 is a corrosion-resistant pipe specially designed according to the characteristics of saline soil. It has a uniformly distributed pore structure inside for the collection and transmission of salt. Salt in the soil is collected in the porous collection pipe 21, and the salt solution flows from the porous collection pipe 21 into the urban pipeline and is discharged into the alkali drainage ditch. The salt solution is discharged through the desalination pipeline system, which plays a role in cleaning the working environment of the electroosmotic desalination system 5 and ensuring its service life.
[0108] In this embodiment, the filter geotextile 22 is a permeable material made of synthetic fibers (such as polyester and polypropylene) and has functions such as filtration, isolation, drainage and protection. Its core function is to achieve effective separation of liquid and solid particles through permeation and interception mechanisms. The filter geotextile 22 is set on the outer surface of the porous liquid collection pipe 21, allowing water to flow through while intercepting soil, silt or other particles, preventing sludge or impurities from clogging the pores of the porous pipe and ensuring desalination efficiency.
[0109] This invention also provides a method for using the roadbed desalination device: a roadbed desalination method based on electroosmosis, comprising the following steps:
[0110] S1. Start the roadbed desalination device. At this time, the photovoltaic power supply system 1 starts to work, converting solar energy into electrical energy and storing it.

At the same time, it judges the current state of the target desalination area according to the sensor data, generates control instructions for the ground source heat pump system 4 according to the judgment result, and sends the control instructions to the heat pump host 15 in the ground source heat pump system 4.
[0113] S4. The ground source heat pump system 4 starts the corresponding control mode according to the control command. When a low temperature is detected, the heating mode is started to suppress pore water freezing; when a high temperature is detected, the cooling mode is started to prevent salt crystallization.
[0114] S5. After being regulated by the ground source heat pump system 4, the electroosmotic desalination system 5 constructs a DC electric field to drive salt ions to migrate to the electrode area;
[0115] S6. The salt collection and discharge system 6 discharges the salt solution through the porous liquid collection pipe 21 and the filter geotextile 22.
