A Preliminary Study of Stabilizing Artificial Saline Sludge Using Compound Stabilizer

Abstract:

There is large-area saline sludge which should be stabilized in China. In this experiment, cementitious component (cement), alkaline component (Ca(OH)2) and expansive component (sulfuraluminate cement or gypsum) were used as compound stabilizer with different combinations to stabilize artificial saline sludge, then the unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil samples was determined, and the hydration products of the stabilized soil were analyzed by XRD, the stabilizing mechanism and the required hydrate species of stabilized soil were preliminary explored. The results show that the unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil increases gradually with the increase of the cement content; when partial cement replaced by right amount of CH, the strength reaches the maximum and higher than that of soil-cement; the use of sulfuraluminate cement plaster as expansive component for stabilizing saline sludge has a relatively good overall affect compared to the gypsum; possible reasons for these results were speculated at the same time.
