Mechanism of the effect of chitosan combined with EICP on the erosion resistance of slopes in open-pit mine dump by Zhile WANG, Yu TIAN, Wei ZHOU, Yi WANG, Rui LI, Yihan GUO, Ya TIAN, Ao LU

“…At the same time, Ca2+ can drive away the strongly bound water to reduce the thickness of the double layer between particles, thus enhancing the soil structure. Combined with the results of indoor experiments and microscopic tests, the effectiveness of chitosan combined with EICP technology to improve the corrosion resistance of slopes is explained, and the modification mechanism of improving the inter-particle bonding force of soil and reducing the erosive force of the slope surface so as to increase the corrosion resistance of dump slopes is revealed, and the results of the research are expected to be useful for the open-pit mine dump slope erosion control technology. …”
