碳化环境下甘蔗渣生物炭改性滨海水泥土的力学性能和微观机理

Mechanical Properties and Microscopic Mechanism of Coastal Cement Soil Modified by Sugarcane Bagasse Biochar under Carbonation Environment

  • 摘要: 为协同实现“双碳”背景下滨海软土加固与农业废弃物资源化利用,本研究提出甘蔗渣生物炭(Sugarcane Bagasse Biochar,SBB)协同碳化养护的改性方法。通过无侧限抗压试验、三轴剪切试验及EDS、TGA、SEM微观表征技术,探究了碳化时间、SBB掺量对水泥土性能的影响。结果表明:(1)力学性能方面,SBB掺量与碳化时间对力学性能呈现显著的“阈值效应”。当SBB掺量为3%、碳化12h时,试样抗压强度与抗剪强度均达到最优。较未掺SBB未碳化的基准组,抗压强度提升26.2%,粘聚力提升41.5%,内摩擦角提升7%。边际效率分析表明,掺量超3%或碳化超12 h后边际效率均转负,确定该配比为最优。(2)微观结构方面,适量SBB不仅通过自身多孔结构发挥填充和成核作用,还促进CO2向试样内部迁移,加速碳化反应过程中CaCO3晶体沉积。同时,碳化养护可降低试样的Ca/Si、使SBB中活性SiO2与体系中的游离钙离子进行二次火山灰反应,从而实现孔隙填充与颗粒胶结的协同强化。(3)固碳评估方面,SBB多孔结构促进碳化反应,碳化12 h后碳元素提升76%,Ca/Si降至0.060,相对固碳量提升53%。最后,本研究不仅揭示了SBB掺量与碳化养护之间的协同机制,阐明了SBB协同碳化养护改善BBCS试样的微观机制,还建立了标准养护及碳化养护下SBB掺量、围压与峰值偏应力之间的二次函数模型,决定系数R2分别为0.95和0.90。本研究可为滨海软土地基的低碳改性技术提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: To achieve coastal soft soil stabilization and agricultural waste valorization under the “dual-carbon” targets, this study proposes a novel modification strategy combining sugarcane bagasse biochar (SBB) with carbonation curing. Unconfined compressive strength tests, triaxial shear tests, and microstructural analyses (SEM, TGA, and EDS) were performed to investigate the effects of SBB content and carbonation time on cemented soil performance. Results showed that SBB content and carbonation time exhibited a significant threshold effect. The optimal performance was achieved with 3% SBB and 12 h carbonation curing, increasing compressive strength, cohesion, and internal friction angle by 26.2%, 41.5%, and 7%, respectively, compared with the untreated control. Marginal efficiency analysis confirmed that excessive SBB or carbonation reduced the enhancement efficiency. Microstructural analyses revealed that SBB improved matrix densification through pore filling, nucleation effects, and enhanced CO2 diffusion, promoting CaCO3 precipitation. Meanwhile, carbonation curing facilitated secondary pozzolanic reactions between active SiO2 in SBB and calcium ions by reducing the Ca/Si ratio, further strengthening particle bonding. Carbon sequestration evaluation indicated that carbonation curing increased carbon content by 76%, reduced the Ca/Si ratio to 0.060, and enhanced relative carbon sequestration by 53%. Finally, This study not only reveals the synergistic mechanism between the SBB content and carbonation curing, but also clarifies the microscopic mechanism by which SBB synergistically improves the BBCS specimens through carbonation curing. Quadratic models were established to describe the relationships among SBB content, confining pressure, and peak deviatoric stress under standard and carbonation curing conditions, with R2 values of 0.95 and 0.90, respectively. This study provides theoretical insights into low-carbon modification of coastal soft soils and sustainable utilization of agricultural waste.
