Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering testing technology, and in particular to a peristaltic pump combined with ultrasonic vibration for microbial reinforcement of clay and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Numerous microorganisms exist within soil and rock masses, and their activities significantly influence the physical and mechanical properties of these materials. Microbial reinforcement technology utilizes the metabolic processes of widely distributed microorganisms to generate calcium carbonate crystals that cement the soil, thereby improving its mechanical properties. This technology offers advantages such as environmental friendliness and low carbon footprint. However, when existing Microbial Concrete-Based Polymerization (MICP) techniques are applied to clay solidification, the small pore size between clay particles leads to uneven and insufficient reinforcement. Furthermore, with increasing reinforcement cycles, the pores in the clay gradually become filled and blocked by calcium carbonate, making the infiltration of the microbial cementing solution increasingly difficult and negatively impacting the effective reinforcement depth of the soil sample. Therefore, existing microbial reinforcement techniques for clay solidification often result in samples with poor uniformity and low strength.

[0003] Prior to this invention, the patent “An indoor test device and method for uniform solidification of clay by microorganisms (publication CN109342135A)” disclosed a device that can solve the problem of poor uniformity of clay solidification treatment by microorganisms. This device can quickly and uniformly solidify the clay body by stirring the clay body and applying pressure to perform microbial grouting. However, this device will disturb and damage the clay body during the stirring process, and it cannot carry out multiple rounds of grouting, resulting in limited reinforcement strength. The patent "A device and construction method for microbial ultrasonic grouting to reinforce the foundation (publication CN112813953A)" discloses a device and construction method for reinforcing the foundation using microbial ultrasonic grouting. This invention utilizes grout to diffuse outwards from a grouting pipe with holes in the pipe wall in conjunction with ultrasonic waves, which can expand the reinforcement range and improve the uniformity of reinforcement. It is also applicable to a wide range of soil types and can reinforce deeper soil layers. However, the device requires a traditional step-by-step grouting method during the grouting process. That is, the bacterial solution is injected first, and after the bacteria in the bacterial solution are fully adsorbed onto the surface of the soil particles, the cementing solution is injected. This method is inefficient, affects the progress, has many steps, and has a long construction period. It may also reduce the utilization rate of the reaction solution to a certain extent. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a peristaltic pump combined with ultrasonic vibration for microbial reinforcement of clay and its usage method.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a microbial reinforced clay testing device combining a peristaltic pump and ultrasonic vibration, comprising a lifting platform, an ultrasonic generator, an ultrasonic vibrating rod, a fixed support rod, a mold barrel, a constant temperature device, and a peristaltic pump.

[0012] Preferably, the temperature of the constant temperature device is set to 4°C, and the liquid level inside the constant temperature device exceeds the liquid level of the slurry.

[0013] Preferably, the feed solution is a mixture of bacterial solution and cementing solution at 4°C in a 1:4 ratio, wherein the bacterial solution is *Bacillus pasteurellii* bacterial solution, and its OD... 600 The cementing solution is between 0.8 and 1.2, and is a mixture of urea and calcium chloride of equal concentrations of 0.5 to 1 mol / L.

[0014] A method for using a peristaltic pump combined with ultrasonic vibration for testing microbial-reinforced clay is also provided, including the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Prepare OD separately 600 The bacterial suspension of Bacillus pasteurellii with a concentration between 0.8 and 1.2 and a mixture of urea and calcium chloride at a concentration of 0.5 to 1 mol / L were placed in a refrigerator at 4°C for cooling.

[0016] Step 2: Install an ultrasonic generator on the bottom side of the fixed support rod, install a fixed lifting platform at the top center of the fixed support rod, and install the lifting platform switch on the side of the fixed support rod. The upper part of the lifting platform is equipped with a disc, and an ultrasonic vibrating rod is installed at the bottom of the fixed disc. Connect the ultrasonic vibrating rod to the ultrasonic generator with a wire.

[0017] Step 3: Prepare clay samples and load them into the mold barrel. Fix the mold barrel onto the circular turntable using the cube protrusions.

[0018] Step 4: Install the first peristaltic pump and the second peristaltic pump on both sides of the fixed support rod respectively. Install a constant temperature device in front of the first peristaltic pump and install the slurry outlet tank in front of the second peristaltic pump. Connect the slurry inlet tank, the first peristaltic pump, the mold tank, the second peristaltic pump, and the slurry outlet tank in sequence with the first slurry inlet pipe, the second slurry inlet pipe, the first slurry outlet pipe, and the second slurry outlet pipe.

[0019] Step 5: Turn on the thermostat switch and set the thermostat temperature to 4℃. After taking the prepared bacterial solution and cementing solution out of the refrigerator, pour them into the slurry tank at a ratio of 1:4 to prepare the slurry. Place the slurry tank into the thermostat so that the liquid level in the thermostat is higher than the slurry level.

[0020] Step 6: Connect the second grout inlet pipe to the first grout inlet, open the valve of the first grout inlet, use the first peristaltic pump to inject the grout, inject the grout to 1.5 times the pore volume of the clay sample, close the valve of the first grout inlet after grouting is completed, remove the second grout inlet pipe, and turn off the thermostat switch;

[0021] Step 7: Operate the lifting platform to lower the ultrasonic vibrating rod to the liquid surface inside the mold barrel, 3mm above the surface of the clay sample. Turn on the ultrasonic generator and adjust the vibration frequency. Use ultrasonic vibration to make the slurry evenly distributed in the pores of the clay sample. Then turn off the ultrasonic generator and raise the ultrasonic vibrating rod above the liquid surface.

[0022] Step 8: Let stand for six hours to allow the grout to react fully as the temperature gradually rises to room temperature, generating calcium carbonate crystals to reinforce the soil. After the reaction is complete, connect the first grout pipe to the first grout outlet, open the first grout outlet valve, use the second peristaltic pump to extract the remaining grout, close the first grout outlet valve after pumping is complete, and remove the first grout pipe.

[0025] 2) This invention utilizes the dormancy of bacteria at low temperatures to delay the reaction between the bacterial solution and the cementing solution. The mixed solution is injected into the sample under low temperature conditions. This method allows the clay particles, bacterial solution, and cementing solution to be fully mixed before the microbial reaction occurs, thereby improving the uniformity of the clay-reinforced sample and saving curing time.

[0026] 3) This invention utilizes a peristaltic pump to achieve a cross-grouting method, which can further improve the uniformity of the cured sample;

[0027] 4) This invention uses a peristaltic pump combined with ultrasonic vibration grouting instead of grouting methods such as stirring, which minimizes soil disturbance and ensures the integrity of the sample to the greatest extent. Attached Figure Description
