| description | To address the issues of low strength, poor water stability, and hazardous substance leaching associated with using phosphogypsum (PG) as a direct road-based material, the traditional approach involves employing inorganic cementing materials to stabilize PG, effectively addressing the problems. This study innovatively utilizes the xanthan gum (XG) and sodium methylsiliconate (SM) as curing agents for PG to solve the above problems. An organic curing agent stabilized PG was prepared by dry mixing XG and PG. The unconfined compressive strength, water stability, and leaching behavior of stabilized PG were investigated, the leaching behavior was characterized by ion leaching concentration, and the mechanisms behind the strength development of stabilized PG were explored by SEM and FTIR. The experimental results indicate that the single incorporation of XG reduced the strength and water stability of stabilized PG, while the single incorporation of SM had a limited effect on strength and water stability. In addition, the dual incorporation of XG and SM significantly improved the strength and water stability of stabilized PG. At the same time, the dual incorporation of XG and SM greatly reduced the leaching of hazardous substances from stabilized PG. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using stabilized PG for road base materials. |
