Dr. Dongxing Wang is currently full Professor and PhD supervisor of School of Civil Engineering, Wuhan University. He obtained the PhD degree from Lille 1 University of Science and Technology, France. From September 2018 to December 2019, he was a visiting scholar at Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. He is an editorial board member and a guest editor of Marine Georesources and Geotechnology. Especially, he is Distinguished Young Scholar granted by Natural Science Foundation of both Hubei Province and Hunan Province, China. His research interests include solidification/stabilization of problematic soils, ground improvement, tunnel construction, and urban underground space development.
To realize the soil reinforced through the carbonation of ternary binder under ambient pressure and mild conditions, the present study introduces triethanolamine (TEA), which serves as an effective carbonation accelerator. Through the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, the soft soil solidified with ternary eco-binder consisting of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), metakaolin (MK), and calcium carbide residue (CCR), subjected to carbonation, is investigated. The effect of TEA on the carbonation of soil is evaluated by the UCS and the CO2 mineralization. This study clarifies the influence factors, including the initial water content, TEA dosage, binder constituent ratio, and content. The optimal binder constituent ratio for the strength growth and carbonation efficiency of carbonated soil is approximately 4:4:2 for GGBS, CCR, and MK, respectively. The incorporation of TEA at a low dosage (<0.15 %) enhances the strength of carbonated soil, whereas the high dosages impair the strength. The synergistic effect of TEA and carbonation further improves the strength and compressibility of soil. The soil with 1.5 % TEA carbonated for 7d exhibits a 44.8 % increase in strength compared to that without TEA, which is attributed to a 2.2-fold increase in carbonation efficiency. The addition of TEA accelerates the ion dissolution and CO2 dispersion, promoting the carbonation reaction in soft soil. Calcite and aragonite precipitate during carbonation, contributing to the strength development of soil. The carbonates phase difference and the pore structure density with different TEA dosages are also demonstrated to be the strength influence factors.
