What is it about?
In this study, 2D microscopic analysis and 3D volume reconstruction were performed on river sand after 24 cycles of bio-treatment based on stacked images and computed tomography (CT) scanning data, respectively, to extract biocementation patterns between particles.

Why is it important?
The exploration of the effectiveness of cementation patterns in fluid sealing provides valuable insights into effective biocementation at the pore scale of porous media, which may inspire future research.
Perspectives
These experiments verified the positive effects of CaCO3 precipitation and biofilm barriers on runner sealing.
