Abstract:In order to study the treatment effect and engineering characteristics of different cement-solidified heavy metal contaminated soils, kaolin doped with Cu2+ was taken as the research object, considering the three factors of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) dosage, curing age and initial copper ion concentration, MPC curing was studied solidification effect and characteristics of post-heavy metal copper contaminated soil. Based on the unconfined compressive strength test and the scanning electron microscope test, the effects of three factors on the strength and microstructure of the solidified copper contaminated soil were analyzed, and the relationship between the compressive strength of the solidified soil and the percentage of internal pores was obtained. The unconfined strength test results show that the effect of MPC on solidifying copper contaminated soil is significant; with the increase of MPC content and the growth of curing age, the compressive strength of solidified soil increases; as the initial copper ion concentration increases, the compressive strength of the solidified soil decreases, and when the concentration of copper ions in the contaminated soil is too high, the solidification effect decreases. The microscopic test results show that there are both physical coating and chemical reaction during the curing process. As the MPC content increases and the curing age increases, the percentage of pores in the cured soil decreases and the structure becomes denser. As the initial copper ion concentration increases, the percentage of pores increases, the soil structure becomes loose, and the strength of the solidified soil decreases.
