Abstract
A soil stabilizer containing a carbonaceous material is disclosed, together with methods for preparing and using the soil stabilizer.
Claims28
A soil stabilizer comprising:
- a carbonaceous material, wherein the carbonaceous material comprises pyrolytic char;
- and
- at least one soil sealant, wherein at least one soil sealant comprises one or more polymeric materials, and wherein the polymeric material comprises one or more acrylic compounds;
- wherein the carbonaceous material substantially modifies the soil sealant such that at least one physical property of the soil stabilizer is changed relative to soil stabilizer containing unmodified soil sealant.

A method of stabilizing a soil and/or a roadbase, the method comprising:
- contacting the soil and/or roadbase with a soil stabilizer, the soil stabilizer comprising:
- a carbonaceous material, wherein the carbonaceous material comprises pyrolytic char;
- and
- at least one soil sealant, wherein the soil sealant comprises one or more polymeric materials, wherein the polymeric material comprises one or more acrylic compounds;
- wherein the carbonaceous material substantially modifies the soil sealant such that at
- least one physical property of the soil stabilizer is changed relative to soil stabilizer containing unmodified soil sealant.
