Brine substitute liquids for soil freezing at very low temperatures
Abstract The strength of a frozen soil increases with decreasing temperature. Furthermore, the speed it takes to form a frozen wall increases on lowering the temperature of the freezing liquid. With the traditional freezing systems using brine it is difficult to work with temperatures below −30°C. To go lower than this limit, it is necessary to substitute the brine by using freezing liquids that maintain good hydraulic and thermal characteristics at much lower temperatures. Different organic liquids have been tested and good results have been obtained with some aromatic hydrocarbon mixes from the terpene family. As a result of the research, for practical purposes a by-product ofa distilling citrus fruit skins has been selected. This liquid solidifies at −100°C approx. and maintains a low viscosity rate below −30°C. The present paper describes the thermal and hydraulic properties of this product as a function of the temperature concerned and compares them to the same properties of classic brines of CaCl2.
