Thermal Conductivity of Stabilized Loess with Different Types of Lignin
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3599-5795
Lignin, an abundant biopolymer derived from plants, is a green binder for stabilizing soil. This study investigates the thermal conductivity of lignin [e.g., sodium ignosulfonate (SL), calcium lignosulfonate (CL), and lignin fiber (LF)] and lignin-stabilized loess. The effects of the source of loess samples, lignin content, curing time, water content, and dry density on the thermal conductivity of the stabilized soils were experimentally evaluated. Furthermore, mineralogy and microstructure of the stabilized loess were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and mercury intrusion porosimetry tests to provide insights into the mechanisms of lignin-based soil stabilization. The test results showed that lignin had a lower thermal conductivity than water and soil minerals. The addition of lignin reduced the thermal conductivity of loess, with CL and SL causing a slightly greater reduction than LF. Mixing lignin with loess did not generate new crystalline material. The incorporation of CL and SL altered the microstructure of loess, resulting in a densely packed structure with distinct particle bonds and intra-aggregate pores. In contrast, LF provide microscale reinforcement for the soil particles, presenting a loose structure with dominant interaggregate pores.
