Conclusion & Future Scope
5.2 Future Scope
The largest advantage of biopolymer implementation to other bio-soil methods is that biopolymer can be produce ex-situ and applied in-situ with a higher degree of quality control.
It can be introduced in soil by various practical modes of application including mixing, injection and grouting. It forms a stable gel matrix inside soil that does not damage the local ecosystem.
For the effective utilization of xanthan gum biopolymer, some aspects have to be investigated-
Use in practical purpose in geotechnical engineering such as slurry walls, temporary seepage barrier and grouting material.
Cost effective use in building material.
Due to remarkable water retaining properties, it can be use in vegetation growth.
It can also use in slope reinforcement.
In tunneling it can be used for quick dewatering or blockage of the tunneling wall.
It can be used as a dust controlling additives in mine tailing, helicopter landing pad.
Erosion reduction additive.
In case of Earth or adobe construction it is a good binding additive.
It can also use in deep mixing ground improvement material.
