Claims
- 1. A process of stabilizing soil which comprises contacting from about 3 to about 20 parts by weight of such soil with about one part by weight of an aqueous solution containing at least 0.5 weight percent of a water-soluble diacrylate ester of a polyoxyalkylene glycol monomer having a molecular weight of at least 300, which solution also contains a water-soluble free radical polymerization catalyst capable of polymerizing the monomer into a water-insoluble gel.
- 2. The process of claim 1 where the aqueous solution also contains from between 2 and 50% by weight of a water-soluble vinyl monomer capable of copolymerizing with the water-soluble diacrylate ester of a polyoxyalkylene glycol.
- 3. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is acrylamide.
- 4. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is methoxyethylacrylate.
- 5. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is ethoxyethylacrylate.
- 6. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate.
- 7. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is tetraethyleneglycol diacrylate.
- 8. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is hydroxypropylacrylate.
- 9. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is dimethylaminoethylmethylacrylate Me So.sub.4 quat.
- 10. The process of claim 2 where the water-soluble vinyl monomer is acrylic acid or the alkaline earth or alkali metal salts of acrylic acid or mixtures thereof.
