Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging biotechnology that aims to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production. This study explores the mechanisms and conditions of calcium carbonate precipitation through microbial activity and chemical reactions, with the goal of applying it to the manufacture of high-density cement and concrete.
Biocement formed through microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an emerging biotechnology focused on reducing the environmental impact of concrete production. In this system, CO2 species are provided via ureolysis by Sporosarcina pasteurii (S. pasteurii) to carbonate monocalcium silicate for MICP. This is one of the first studies of its kind that uses a solid-state calcium source, while prior work has used highly soluble forms. Our study focuses on microbial physiological, chemical thermodynamic, and kinetic studies of MICP. Monocalcium silicate incongruently dissolves to form soluble calcium, which must be coupled with CO2 release to form calcium carbonate. Chemical kinetic modeling shows that calcium solubility is the rate-limiting step, but the addition of organic acids significantly increases the solubility, enabling extensive carbonation to proceed up to 37 mol %. The microbial urease activity by S. pasteurii is active up to pH 11, 70 degrees C, and 1 mol L-1 CaCl2, producing calcite as a means of solidification. Cell-free extracts are also effective albeit less robust at extreme pH, producing calcite with different physical properties. Together, these data help determine the chemical, biological, and thermodynamic parameters critical for scaling microbial carbonation of monocalcium silicate to highdensity cement and concrete.
