Modelling Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) in Microfluidic Porous Chips by Shuang Shu, Haoran Chen, Hao Meng

“…The results show that the influence of these variables on the treatment effects, such as the production rate of the reaction, spatial distribution of calcium carbonate, type and morphology of crystals, amount of ammonia gas produced, and presence/absence of clogging issues, can be visualised in microfluidic chips. The results presented in this paper prove that the microfluidic technique could be a helpful tool for unravelling the mechanisms of the MICP process at the pore scale and understanding the factors influencing the MICP process.…”
