The study found that casein-assisted enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation showed better performance in enhancing the compressive strength of biocemented specimens. Experimental optimization led to precipitates achieving a maximum compressive strength of 2 MPa under optimized conditions. Casein-assisted EICP treatment was more efficient in promoting the formation of low-level CaCO3 precipitation compared to skim milk.
As a soil biomineralization process, casein-assisted enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) yielded biocemented specimens with significantly higher compressive strength than specimens cemented by regular or skim-milk-assisted EICP treatments. The compound concentration and curing strategy of casein-assisted EICP were experimentally optimized to maximize the compressive strength of precipitates with low calcium carbonate content. Under the optimized EICP conditions (0.893 M urea, 0.581 M CaCl2, 2.6 g/L urease enzyme, and 38.87 g/L casein), the unconfined compressive strengths reached 2 MPa. The scanning electron micrographs of selected samples provided microscopic evidence that EICP treatments assisted using skim milk and casein impart distinctive strength-enhancement mechanisms. The ammonium ions released from urea hydrolysis created an alkaline environment that makes casein dissociated into the pore water. As the casein-containing pore water became more viscous, the increased contact area with particles facilitated the precipitation of co-bound CaCO3 minerals and casein in the pore water. Casein was identified as a more efficient assisting agent than skim milk for low-level CaCO3 precipitation by EICP treatment.
