Claims58
A method of applying a water-soluble soil stabilizer to soil comprising:
- adding said water-soluble soil stabilizer to a solid carrier;
- applying said solid carrier to said soil;
- applying water to said solid carrier;
- releasing said water-soluble soil stabilizer out of said solid carrier into said soil;
- binding said water soluble soil stabilizer to said soil;
- wherein application rates of said solid carrier to said soil is based on desired amount of said water-soluble soil stabilizer to be metered to said soil;
- wherein the water-soluble soil stabilizer is selected from the group consisting of:
- start xanthate, acid hydrolyzed cellulose microfibrils, chitin, gypsum, hydrocolloidal polysaccharide, acrylic copolymers, and/or sodium acrylate and any combination.
