Abstract

In this work, studies were conducted to determine the effectiveness of strengthening the structure of degraded soil using an EICP (Enzymatic Induced Calcite Precipitation) solution, that is, the method of enzymatically induced precipitation of calcium carbonate. In agriculture, it was used to strengthen sand in the desert zone. Sandstorms are among the natural disasters in the world, and it is important to provide an effective and environmentally friendly way to combat land desertification. The biogeotechnical method is based on the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) by catalytic hydrolysis of urea using the urease enzyme. The solution contains 1M urea, 0.78M calcium chloride (CaCl2) and the enzyme urease with a concentration of 4 g/l.As a result of treatment with this solution, crystals were formed connecting sand particles to each other, during the formation of carbonate deposition, soil permeability decreases, ensuring the strength properties of the soil. However, this is costly due to the need for a large amount of the urease enzyme used to make the solution created based on the method. The enzyme alone accounts for more than 95% of the cost of preparing the solution. Therefore, in order to further improve the research work, it is necessary to find a natural material that replaces the enzyme urease. The presence of ecological compatibility of herbaceous plant seeds and enzyme treatment methods has shown the effectiveness of reducing desertification.
