Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of civil engineering materials, and particularly relates to a foamed lightweight soil of red mud-expansive soil combined microorganisms and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Red mud is a byproduct of industrial extraction of alumina. According to different aluminum production processes, there are mainly three types of red mud: sintered red mud, Bayer red mud and combined red mud. The existing aluminum production process has brought a serious burden to the healthy development of the industry, and it is urgent to explore new ideas for reasonable and rapid consumption of red mud.

[0003] Expansive soil, also known as "engineering cancer", is a high-plasticity clay with strong hydrophilicity and water saturation. It quickly expands when it comes into contact with water and shrinks easily when it loses water. Its engineering properties are closely related to water content. It is prone to cause various engineering accidents after coming into contact with water and is a typical disaster-causing special soil. In existing engineering construction, the "replacement method" is usually used to treat expansive soil foundations, that is, the expansive soil is removed and replaced with other soil with excellent engineering properties. This treatment method is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the removed expansive soil needs to be transported and stored, which does not fundamentally achieve efficient, low-carbon and safe treatment of expansive soil. Civil engineering construction usually consumes a large amount of soil and stone building materials. These materials can meet the requirements of corresponding engineering design after being treated by specific scientific and technological means, thereby achieving safe and rapid treatment of solid waste and poor soil. In addition, the cost of engineering construction will be significantly reduced.

[0004] Existing scholars have proposed a technology for preparing foamed lightweight soil from red mud and expansive soil, which is applied to the infrastructure construction of various structures such as roads and bridges, and has achieved good economic and social benefits. It should be pointed out that in the current technology for preparing foamed lightweight soil from red mud, expansive soil or their mixture, a large amount of traditional cement material is still consumed to achieve cementation. Cement material consumes a large amount of natural clay and fossil energy in the production process, and emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which is a high-energy-consumption and high-emission building material. Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation technology (MICP) based on urea hydrolysis reaction is a relatively efficient biological regulation technology. Its cementation process completely breaks through the limitations of traditional cement materials and truly realizes "green" and "low carbon", which is favored by scholars in many fields. Indigenous urease bacteria exist in natural expansive soil, which can be activated and cultured under specific conditions. Urease bacteria can secrete urease and hydrolyze urea to release carbonate ions. In a suitable alkaline environment, carbonate ions combine with calcium, magnesium and other cations to produce carbonate precipitates with cementation effect. Red mud contains rich calcium and aluminum ions, and has an alkaline pH, which can provide a necessary and good environment for the generation of carbonate cementation products.

[0005] Therefore, under the background of the "double carbon" goal and on the basis of the MICP technology, it is urgent to efficiently and safely stimulate indigenous urease bacteria in swelling soil, make full use of the good cementation and precipitation environment provided by red mud, break through the limitations of traditional cement materials, and develop completely green and low-carbon red mud-swelling soil foam lightweight soil materials.
