Bioconcrete: next generation of self-healing concrete
(Springer, 2016)Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials and has a high tendency to form cracks. These cracks lead to significant reduction in concrete service life and high replacement costs. Although it is not ... -
The Effect of Cell Immobilization by Calcium Alginate on Bacterially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation
(MDPI, 2017)Microbially induced mineral precipitation is recognized as a widespread phenomenon in nature. A diverse range of minerals including carbonate, sulphides, silicates, and phosphates can be produced through biomineralization. ... -
Induced calcium carbonate precipitation using Bacillus species
(Springer, 2016)Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is an emerging process for the production of self-healing concrete. This study was aimed to investigate the effects and optimum conditions on calcium carbonate biosynthesis. ... -
New insights into the role of pH and aeration in the bacterial production of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
(Springer, 2017)Over recent years, the implementation of microbially produced calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in different industrial and environmental applications has become an alternative for conventional approaches to induce CaCO₃ precipitation. ...
