The disclosure is directed to kits, compositions, tools and methods comprising a cyclic industrial process to form biocement. In particular, the disclosure is directed to materials and methods for decomposing calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide at an elevated temperature, reacting calcium oxide with ammonium chloride to form calcium chloride, water, and ammonia gas; and reacting ammonia gas and carbon dioxide at high pressure to form urea and water, which are then utilized to form biocement. This cyclic process can be achieved by combining industrial processes with the resulting product as biocement. The process may involve retention of calcium carbonate currently utilized in the manufacture of Portland Cement.
A method, comprising:
A solid object containing urease-producing organisms and urea-producing organisms.
A composition comprising a viable mixture of urease-producing organisms and urea- producing organisms, wherein the urease-producing organisms and the urea-producing organisms are in the form or spores and/or vegetative cells, and wherein the composition is aqueous or dry.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
