氯化铝强化MICP固化红土抗溅蚀性能及机制研究

    Splash erosion resistance and mechanism of red soil treated by AlCl₃-enhanced MICP

    • 摘要: 红土在降雨作用下易发生溅蚀破坏,而传统微生物诱导碳酸钙沉淀(MICP)技术在细粒土中易形成“表层富集”的碳酸钙结构,限制其抗溅蚀效果。为改善碳酸钙沉淀的空间分布,提出氯化铝(AlCl3·6H2O)强化MICP固化红土的方法。通过溶液矿化试验、微生物固土试验及室内降雨溅蚀试验,分析其矿化行为、固化效果及抗溅蚀性能,并结合扫描电镜(SEM)揭示其抗溅蚀机制。结果表明:氯化铝降低溶液pH并影响碳酸钙生成量,但MICP过程仍可持续进行,同时改变碳酸钙晶体的生长与聚集特征;与传统MICP相比,氯化铝强化处理虽使峰值贯入阻力略有降低,但固化层厚度增加,且5–20 mm范围内碳酸钙含量明显提高;氯化铝强化MICP处理可显著降低红土溅蚀量并提升抗侵蚀稳定性;其机制在于氯化铝通过调节初始pH抑制早期快速矿化,削弱碳酸钙表层富集,并与氢氧化铝胶体共同形成较为连续稳定的复合胶结结构,从而提高红土抗溅蚀性能。

       

      Abstract: Red soil is highly susceptible to splash erosion under rainfall. However, conventional microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) tends to produce a surface-enriched CaCO3 layer in fine-grained soils, limiting its resistance to splash erosion. To improve the spatial distribution of CaCO3, aluminum chloride (AlCl3·6H2O) was introduced into the MICP process for red soil stabilization. Solution mineralization tests, microbial soil treatment tests, and laboratory rainfall splash erosion tests were conducted to evaluate mineralization behavior, soil improvement performance, and splash erosion resistance, combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate microstructural mechanisms. The results show that aluminum chloride lowers the solution pH and affects CaCO3 precipitation, while the MICP process remains active and crystal growth and aggregation are altered. Compared with conventional MICP, although the AlCl3-enhanced treatment slightly reduced peak penetration resistance, it increased the thickness of the cemented layer and markedly increased CaCO3 content within the 5–20 mm depth range. Moreover, it significantly decreases splash erosion weight and improves splash erosion resistance stability. These improvements are attributed to the regulation of initial pH by aluminum chloride, which suppresses rapid early-stage mineralization, weakens surface enrichment of CaCO3, and facilitates the formation of a relatively continuous and stable composite cementation structure with aluminum hydroxide colloids, thereby enhancing splash erosion resistance.
