Abstract:
The development of a modified cement stabilized calcareous sand (MCSCS) material with high strength, low carbon and heavy metal ions adsorption capacities is crucial for the eco-friendly construction of islands pavement bases. This study utilized natural zeolite powder (ZP) and three supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to develop MCSCS. The macro properties and micro mechanisms of MCSCS were analyzed using various experiments. The results indicated that while ZP alone reduced the mechanical properties of MCSCS, making it unsuitable for airport pavement bases, combining ZP with SCMs significantly improved these properties due to the synergistic effects of the pozzolanic reaction, achieving strengths up to 5.31 MPa. Microscopic analysis revealed that the competitive adsorption of Ca2+ by ZP resulted in a looser microstructure, whereas SCMs promoted the formation of calcium silicate hydrate, calcium aluminate silicate hydrate and tobermorite, leading to a denser microstructure. The cation-exchange and hydroxyl group binding properties of ZP, combined with the physisorption and chemical binding of the hydration products from SCMs, significantly enhanced the heavy metal ion adsorption of MCSCS. The maximum removal rates of Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ by MCSCS were 81.64 %, 76.26 %, 71.39 % and 65.11 %, respectively.
