Microbially- and enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP and MICP) offer potentially sustainable and cost-effective mitigation methods for fugitive dust by forming an erosion-resistant crust on the soil through precipitation of a natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3) cement. While there have been isolated studies on the efficacy of the carbonate precipitation process, there are few systematic studies of the influence of the properties of the soil being treated (e.g., gradation, salt content) on the precipitation and the resulting wind erosion resistance. Moreover, the influence of environmental conditions on the durability of the crust formed by the induced carbonate precipitation has not been systematically investigated. In this research program, the efficacy and durability of EICP and MICP for dust mitigation were investigated for a variety of soil types and in different environmental conditions. Soil samples from seven sites with fugitive dust problems were treated with MICP or EICP and subjected to lab or field testing. The results of these tests showed that the effectiveness of biocementation treatment varies depending on the grain size distribution of soil and mineralogical composition. Testing on iron ore tailings materials demonstrated that treating by application of EICP solutions at lower concentrations (i.e., 0.5M and 0.75M of urea and calcium chloride) yielded effective results for poorly graded fine sand-sized tailings but the same solutions were ineffective for the well graded sand-sized tailings that contained large gravel-sized particles. Additionally, the application of MICP and EICP on sediments adjacent to a shrinking lake (the Salton Sea) with different salt contents exhibited enhanced performance in soils with lower salt content. The effect of temperature during deployment and precipitation cycles are shown to be significant environmental factors by simulating wetting-drying and freeze-thaw cycles in the laboratory. A dust-resistance crust formed through biocementation remained mostly intact after undergoing multiple cycles of wetting-drying. However, the durability of a dust-resistance crust formed through biocementation to multiple cycles of freeze-thaw depended on treatment solution concentration and soil grain size. Additionally, high temperature during field deployment of MICP adversely effected crust formation due to rapid evaporation that inhibited the complete hydrolysis of urea and the precipitation of carbonate.
