Cementation of Soil Particles using a Biologically Inspired Process

VTIP:07-013

Current silicate soil grouting technology uses 30 to 70 percent by volume sodium silicate mixed with potentially toxic reactants. The new process forms silica cement from environmentally benign, non-toxic solutions using a new process inspired by organisms. The result can give improved cementation at the particle-cement interface and within the ...
