Research project: Stabilization of dispersive soils using Calcium Lignosulfonate
The research project involved exploring the properties of dispersive soils and the extent of stabilization upon various doses of chemical stabilizer Calcium Lignosulfonate, thereby finding the optimum dosage of the stabilizer which can be used. Calcium Lignosulfonate is a plant based chemical which can be manufactured from the pulp waste from paper industry and can replace the chemical stabilizers which are currently being used as a sustainable material with very low carbon footprint.
