Lithosynthesis in transport construction for geosphere protection

摘要

Geoecological problems of lithosphere protection in transport construction are of great importance nowadays. The article deals with the research of the new lithosynthesis technology which can be used for geosphere protection in transport construction. Lithosynthesis is a new method of geosphere purification by means of engineering structures and building materials. The main aim of the paper is to show a possibility to restore lithosphere using mineral artificial stones of different nature, e.g. foam concrete or phosphates. Both theoretical, namely thermodynamic, method and experimental one are used in the study. Two techniques of lithosynthesis are demonstrated in the paper. The first technique is to apply so-called the “stone sponge” to absorb pollutions and detoxicate them. The second technique is formation of the artificial phosphate stone to detoxicate pollutions during hardening. The level of concentration of heavy metal ions to be detoxicated by means of foam concrete lithoreactions is determined. The study suggests creation of a new lock surface, e.g. through sols’ use, after detoxication of pollutions.
