Hello ,
I am currently studying the effect of some compounds on the microstructural textures of soils, my soil is composed of of Quartz , illite ,Kaolinite and is predominatly carbonecous .
The following images of SEM were obtained ,
fig a is of the native soil with no addition
fig b is of the soil treated with lime
fig c is of the soil treated with lime and a phosphate compound
fig c is of the soil treated with lime , natural pozzolana and a phosphate compound
Can somebody please help me how to interpret the images and defind the micro and macrostructural textures ? also are my comment on the CSH and CASH as well as hydroxylapattite minerals correct ?
Thank you
