- Abstract:
- ... Most published works have considered the influence of a single factor on the thermal or hygroscopic properties of the modified soil materials, but few studies have focused on the influence of multi-factor. Therefore, an L₉ (3⁴) orthogonal array test design was adopted in this study to investigate the effects of cement, lime, fly ash, and moisture on the hygroscopic properties of modified soil comp ...

The spatio-temporal distribution of soil salinity and sodicity is the key to understand the law of water and salt transport in porous media and put forward the amendment measures of saline soil. A total of 56 soil sample sites were selected from four agricultural reclamation regions and an adjoining coastal wetland. Descriptive statistical and geostatistical analyses were performed to describe the ...

In this research, mixing MPs with sodium alginate (SA) was studied to improve the solubility of MPs, and the effects of pH, mixing ratios (r), and protein preheating were examined. Mixing with SA improved the solubility of MPs at pH 6.5 and 5.5, and the precipitation of MPs was completely inhibit ...
