Abstract
New sustainable methods utilizing biological processes to mediate the improvement of soil properties have recently emerged. Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has been demonstrated as a potential sustainable technique for soil improvement and solidification, erosion control and prevention, and remediation of contaminants. This paper describes experiments conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of using pelletized organic manure (POM), supplemented with varying concentrations of yeast extract (20 to 80%, w/v) as a suitable alternative low-cost nutrient source for bacteria cultivation during the MICP soil biocementation process. The evaluation entails using scanning electron microscopy with electron-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis analysis for cementation efficiency, relative merits of the mechanisms, and biocementation byproduct. The results demonstrated that ureolytic bacteria can be cultivated with POM containing yeast extract (4 to 8 g/L), and this alternative bacteria cultivation nutrient source produced more crystal formations with less visible pore spaces in biocemented soil. This study reveals that more treatment cycle (bacterial cultures and chemical solution) approaches would be required during biocementation to achieve successful crystal shapes to bridge soil particles when using ureolytic bacteria grown in the inexpensive medium supplemented with low yeast extract.
