Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of green building materials and road engineering technology, specifically to a method for stabilizing desert aeolian sand base material using salt lake brine and its preparation. Background Technology

[0002] Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) has advantages such as rapid hardening and early strength, wear resistance, and resistance to brine corrosion. However, traditional MOC mostly uses pure MgCl2 solution as a binder, which is costly and mainly used in non-load-bearing decorative products. Its application in road base courses is almost non-existent.

[0003] The salt lakes in southern Xinjiang produce large quantities of MgCl2-type brine as a byproduct, which causes magnesium damage due to a lack of utilization methods. Meanwhile, the Taklamakan Desert has vast reserves of aeolian sand, which are difficult to utilize as resources. Combining these two factors to prepare low-cost, early-strength road base materials could solve both resource and environmental problems at once. However, the aeolian sand particles are rounded and poorly graded, and the MOC system has insufficient water resistance, resulting in strength and durability that fail to meet engineering requirements.

[0015] This invention utilizes salt lake brine to stabilize desert aeolian sand base materials for use in highway base engineering in desert areas.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention relates to a method for preparing a base course material for aeolian sand in desert areas using salt lake brine.
