Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of saline soil treatment, and in particular relates to a method for predicting salt swelling of sulfate saline soil after electroosmosis treatment. Background Art
[0002] At present, the commonly used measures for saline soil diseases in projects include dynamic compaction, soil replacement and isolation layer setting. Among them, the dynamic compaction method causes relatively large vibrations during construction and is not suitable for areas close to buildings and structures, as it is prone to disturbance and nuisance to residents. The soil replacement method is limited by the scope of construction, has high costs, and is difficult to use on a large scale. When setting faults, when the groundwater level is high, the isolation layer cannot achieve the isolation effect, and salt swelling often occurs.
[0003] Compared with the above improved methods, researchers found that water and salt in saline soil can be quickly discharged under the action of electroosmosis, thereby reducing the amount of mirabilite crystallization and effectively reducing the salt swelling of sulfate soil. However, the use of electroosmosis to inhibit salt swelling in sulfate soil is currently only at the experimental level. In order to achieve a good swelling reduction effect, a large number of tests are usually required. In addition, the tests often only consider single influencing factors such as potential gradient, water content, and salt content. The mutual influence and coupling between factors such as electric field, temperature, moisture, gaseous water, and salt are not fully considered. This is not enough to provide scientific guidance for the application of electroosmosis in saline soil salt swelling prevention and control projects.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to predict the salt swelling of sulfate-salted soil after electroosmosis treatment, so as to reduce the cost of experiments in engineering and optimize the electroosmosis swelling reduction construction plan. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the salt swelling of sulfate-saline soil after electroosmosis treatment, aiming to achieve the prediction of the salt swelling of sulfate-saline soil under different electroosmotic conditions.
[0006] To this end, the method for predicting salt swelling of sulfate soil after electroosmosis treatment provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0011] Step 5: Establish the governing equation for ion migration in soil
[0012] Step 6: Simultaneously establish the electric field control equation, temperature field control equation, liquid water migration control equation, gaseous water diffusion control equation, and ion migration control equation, and divide the soil model into grids. Use the central difference method to perform differential solutions on these five equations, and obtain the temperature T(t, i, j), liquid water content W(t, i, j), relative humidity RH(t, i, j), and sodium ion content C(t, i, j) at each grid point in the soil under different electroosmosis times.

[0133] A method for predicting salt swelling of sulfate soil after electroosmosis treatment comprises the following steps:
[0134] It is assumed that Ohm's law and the law of conservation of charge are valid in sulfate saline soil. According to Ohm's law, we can get:
[0135]
[0136] Where I is the current density in the soil, in A / m 2 ; σ is the electrical conductivity of the soil, in mS / cm, and its value is related to the moisture and salt content in the soil; E is the electric potential applied across the soil, in V.
[0137] In formula (1), the relationship between the electrical conductivity of sulfate soil and the moisture content and salt content in the soil can be calculated according to formula (2):
[0138] σ=m1·C·W+m2·C+m3·W-m4(2)
[0139] Where C is the salt content in the soil, unit is m 3 / m 3 ; W is the moisture content in the soil m 3 / m 3 , unit is %; m1, m2, m3 and m4 are parameters related to the type of salt in the soil. In sulfate saline soil, the values of m1, m2, m3 and m4 are 0.140, -0.773, 0.024 and -0.236 respectively.
[0140] According to the law of conservation of charge, we can get:
[0141]
[0142] Among them, C p is the capacitance influencing factor in saline soil, unit is F, which is affected by the dielectric constant of the soil; t is the electroosmosis time, unit is s; It is a mathematical gradient operator. It should be noted that the subscripts in each character in this application have no physical meaning and are only used to distinguish it from other characters.
[0143] Substituting equation (1) into equation (3), the governing equation of the electric field in the soil is established, namely equation (4):
[0144]
[0145] Assuming that Fourier's heat conduction law and the law of conservation of energy are simultaneously established in sulfate soil, according to Fourier's heat conduction law, Equation 5 can be obtained:

[0156]
[0157] In formula (9), the thermal conductivity of soil K t It consists of four parts, namely the thermal conductivity of liquid water, sodium sulfate, soil particles and gaseous water, namely K tw , K tc , K ts and K ta, the unit is W / m / K; according to the volume ratio of water content, soil particle content, salt content and gaseous water content in unit volume of soil, that is, W, λ tc , c and g, in m 3 / m 3 , calculated according to formula (10):
[0158] K t =K tw ·W+K tc ·λ tc +K ts C+K ta ·g (10)
[0159] In unsaturated sodium sulfate saline soils, the driving force for water migration comes from the matrix potential, and the flow pattern follows Darcy's law. When a voltage is applied across the soil, a potential gradient forms between the anode and cathode ends, driving water flow through the soil—a phenomenon known as electroosmosis. Electroosmosis and the flow driven by the matrix potential can be linearly superimposed, resulting in the total water flux in the soil being the sum of the flux due to the potential gradient and the matrix potential.
[0160] According to Darcy's law, the water flux caused by the matrix potential in the soil can be expressed as Equation 11:
[0161]

[0164]
[0165] Where q2 is the water flux in the soil under the action of the potential gradient, and the unit is m 2 / s;K e is the electrical permeability coefficient, in m 2 / s / V;
[0166] Under the combined effect of matrix potential and electric potential gradient, the total water flux in the soil is:

[0170] The energy conservation equation and Richard equation are valid in unsaturated sulfate saline soil, and we can get:
[0171]
[0172] Where W represents the water content in the soil, and the unit is m 3 / m 3 ; q is the total water flux, unit is m 2 / s.
[0173] Substituting Equation (14) into Equation (15), we obtain Equation (16), which is the governing equation for liquid water migration in unsaturated sulfate saline soil under electroosmosis:
[0174]
[0175] In formula (15), matrix suction It is related to the moisture content W in the soil. To simplify the calculation, a new parameter called effective soil saturation H is introduced and defined as formula (17):

[0181] Transform Equation (18) with matrix suction as the dependent variable and effective saturation as the independent variable to obtain Equation (19):
[0182]
[0183] Substituting formula (17) into formula (19), we can obtain the relationship between matrix suction and water content (20):
[0184]
[0185] In formula (15), the hydraulic permeability coefficient K h It is also related to the water content W in the soil. According to the VG model, the hydraulic permeability coefficient K h The relationship between and effective saturation satisfies formula (21):
[0186] K h =K s H 0.5 [1-(1-H 1 / M ) M ] 2 (twenty one)
[0187] Where K s is the saturated permeability coefficient in the soil, in m / s.
[0188] Substituting formula (17) into formula (21), we can obtain the relationship between hydraulic penetration and water content (22):
[0189]
[0190] The diffusion of gaseous water follows Fick's law, and this law is valid in sulfate saline soil. According to Fick's law, we can get formula (23):

[0206]
[0207] According to the distribution and content of gaseous water in the soil, the relative humidity in the soil can be obtained according to formula (30):

[0214] Since sodium ions are continuously precipitated during the electroosmosis process, the total amount is divided into two parts: solid phase and liquid phase. The sodium ions in the liquid phase are related to the solubility and moisture content. Therefore, the law of conservation of mass in the soil is modified to obtain formula (33):
[0215]
[0216] Where C tna The sodium ion content in solid form per unit volume of soil, expressed in kg / m 3 .

The five equations are differentially solved using the central difference method to obtain the temperature T(t, i, j), liquid moisture content W(t, i, j), relative humidity RH(t, i, j), and sodium ion content C(t, i, j) at each point in the soil at different times. Where t is the electroosmosis time, i = 1, 2, ..., ny, j = 1, 2, ..., nx, ny and nx are the total number of steps in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively. The values are calculated by dividing the vertical and horizontal lengths of the soil model by the mesh width, respectively.
[0220] The obtained soil temperature T(t, i, j) is used to calculate the solubility Cr of sodium sulfate in water according to formula (35), in g / 100g.
[0221]
[0222] The standard sodium sulfate content C in water is calculated by combining the obtained soil liquid moisture content W(t, i, j) with formula (35) and formula (36). s , unit is kg / m 3 .

[0238] Since the salt in the soil is unevenly distributed under the action of electroosmosis, the existing salt expansion calculation formula needs to be modified.

The modified salt expansion calculation formula is:

[0241] Formula (42) is used to obtain the content of Glauber's salt c m Substituting into formula (43), the salt expansion of sulfate saline soil under electroosmosis can be calculated.
[0242] This method comprehensively considers the effects of the electric field on soil temperature, liquid water content, gaseous water content, and salt content under electroosmosis, determines the coupling relationship between these fields, and uses the central difference method to solve the model and calculate the soil salt expansion. The salt expansion prediction results are highly consistent with experimental test results. This method can accurately predict the salt expansion of sulfate-saline soil under different electroosmotic conditions, reduce engineering testing costs, optimize electroosmotic expansion reduction construction plans, and improve project economic benefits.

The switch power is turned on to provide a 0.66V / cm potential gradient. The electroosmosis lasts for 30 hours, and the salt expansion displacement data is measured every 5 minutes. At the same time, under the same conditions (the length and height of the sulfate saline soil are set to 600mm and 250mm, the initial water content is set to 12%, the initial sodium sulfate content is set to 2.5%, and the density is set to 1.74g / cm 3 The cooling mode is unidirectional cooling, the potential gradient of electroosmosis is set to 0.66 V / cm, and the electroosmosis time is continued for a total of 30 hours. The method of the present invention is used to predict the salt expansion of sulfate saline soil after electroosmosis.
