Method of manufacturing soil reinforced by microbe-based bio-binders and soil produced by the method

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing soil reinforced by microbe-based bio-binders and soil produced by the method. The bio-binders are not harmful to humans, do not cause environmental pollution and secure sufficiently the soil strength and resistance against wind. According to the method, the soil is prepared by binding sand whose major components are silica and alumina, ureolytic microbes, urea, calcium ion, and polymer fibers, and the content of polymer fibers in sand ranges from 0.05 wt % to 5 wt %. In addition, it is preferable that the microbes provide CaCO3 at a rate at 1˜7×10−9 g CaCO3 ppt cell−1 hr−1 under optimum conditions.

1. A method of manufacturing a soil reinforced by microbe-based bio-binders and having a polymer fiber content ranging from 0.05 wt % to 5 wt %, comprising the steps of:
preparing a sand whose major components are silica and alumina; treating a surface of the sand by blowing functional-particles using a compressed gas so as to increase a specific surface area of the sand or a surface roughness of the sand; and binding urea-producing microbes, urea, calcium ion and the polymer fibers to the sand, wherein the microbes are characterized to produce CaCO3 at a rate of 1˜7×10−9 g CaCO3 ppt cell−1 hr−1, wherein the functional-particles include silver-nano particles, titanium dioxide particles, a sand powder or a mixture thereof.
