Contaminated soils treated with alkalis show improved pH levels for stability.
The pH level of soil can be affected by factors like water content, salt concentration, and temperature. In this study, different types of soil were treated with alkalis and acids to see how it changed their pH levels. The results showed that the pH of soil is influenced by its components, not just the pH value itself. Expansive and non-expansive soils reacted differently to the treatments, indicating that soil pH is a complex process that depends on various factors.
