مستخلص: This study aimed to investigate the structure and shape of carbonate crystals induced through microbial activity and carbon dioxide reactions in the sand. The strength of sandy soil treated with carbonate minerals was subsequently determined using unconfined compression strength (UCS) tests. Sporoscarcina pasteurii bacteria were used to produce an aqueous solution of free carbonate ions (CO32−) under laboratory circumstances called microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). In CO2-induced carbonate precipitation (CICP), carbon dioxide was added to a sodium hydroxide solution to form free carbonate ions (CO32−). Different carbonate mineral compositions were then provided by adding Fe2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ ions to carbonate ions (CO32−). In the MICP and CICP procedures, the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) revealed a distinct morphology of any type of carbonate minerals. Vaterite (CaCO3), siderite (FeCO3), nesquehonite (MgCO3(H2O)3), and dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2 were produced in MICP. Calcite (CaCO3), siderite (FeCO3), nesquehonite (MgCO3(H2O)3), and high-Mg calcite (Ca-Mg(CO3)) were produced in CICP. According to UCS data, siderite and high-Mg calcite/dolomite had more effectiveness in increasing soil strength (63–72 kPa). The soils treated with nesquehonite had the lowest strength value (25–29 kPa). Mineral-treated soils in CICP showed a slightly higher UCS strength than MICP, which could be attributable to greater particle size and interlocking. This research focused on studying the mineralogical properties of precipitated carbonate minerals by CICP and MICP methods to suggest a promising environmental method for soil reinforcement.
