Immobilization of Heavy Metal Contaminants and Their Effect on the Strength Behavior of MICP-Treated Sand

Abstract

AbstractMicrobially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is a bio-mediated process used for contaminant remediation through calcite formation. While previous research has focused on heavy metal immobilization at low concentrations, the underlying ...Practical ApplicationThe soil naturally contains trace amounts of heavy metals essential for the local ecosystem’s flora and fauna. However, human activities have significantly elevated these concentrations to hazardous levels, adversely impacting both ...
