Investigating the feasibility of implementing microbially induced calcite precipitation to stabilize sand, clay and gold tailings

Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is an emerging bio-mediated technology which has been successfully applied in soil improvement research. MICP uses the enzyme urease produced from bacteria to breakdown urea into carbonate ions. These carbonate ions combine with free calcium ions to f...
