Application of sustainable biocement using extracted bacterial enzyme for loose sand improvement
Portland cement is a most popular binder used for soil stabilization. However, the cement remained many drawbacks such as consuming high energy and raw material, releasing huge amount of CO2. The recent study proposed an application of biocement using bacterial enzyme as an alternative binder for stabilizing loose sand soil. A simple method was employed to extract urease enzyme from bacterial cells.
