LID - 10.3390/ijerph192416860 [doi] LID - 16860 AB - The microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technique has shown great robustness in dealing with soil and groundwater contamination problems. A typical result of the implementation of MICP technique is a change in the pore structure. In this study, the effects of MICP on the pore structure of yellow sandstone from the Zigong area, Sichuan, China under different conditions, (e.g., temperature, pH, and calcium ion concentration) are investigated using LF-NMR resonance. The pore network of yellow sandstone is accurately measured using the peak area of the T(2) spectral signal. The distribution of calcium carbonate in the pores of the yellow sandstone is characterized by the magnitude of the T(2) signal variation. The results show that the precipitation of calcium carbonate caused by MICP tends to be deposited in relatively large pores. However, the calcium carbonate precipitates in the smaller pores at a higher temperature. A higher pH considerably enhances the precipitation, and the alkaline environment tends to cause the precipitation of the calcium carbonate in the large pores. Although the amount of produced calcium carbonate continuously increases as the MCIP process continues, which is expected, the production efficiency decreases steadily.
