Physicochemical method of fixing mobile sands with local materials

Impregnating composition with water-soluble binders has been elaborated, with the help of which the source of deflation of mobile sands is blocked, and the protective crust obtained on the sandy surface is characterized by resistance to the effects of wind-sand flow, assessed by plastic strength and thickness. The free-flow movement of a binder in a porous body of sand depends mainly on the equivalent diameter of the particles obtained by the joint solution of the internal and external problems of hydrodynamics and the shape factor of the particles. To interpret the experimental results empirically, an indicator of the saturation of the protective crust sand characterizing the impregnation as an unstable process proceeding under the predominant influence of the gravity field with an uneven movement of the liquid front was revealed. The prevalence of the elastic-plastic properties of the protective crust is evidenced by a slight and smooth change in physical and mechanical indicators over time by the third year of operation.
