Effects of cementation reagent on the precipitation of calcium carbonate induced by bacillus megaterium
A laboratory experiment was carried out to determine the concentration of cementation reagent that will produce the maximal amount of calcium carbonate induced by Bacillus Megaterium. The optimum condition for calcium carbonate precipitation was evaluated for its application in improving the geotech...
