The Yellow River has the highest sediment concentration in the world, and the Yellow River coarse sediment mainly comes from a particular kind of argillaceous sandstone, Pisha sandstone. This paper reports an investigation of the possibility of development of low-cost engineering materials using Pisha sandstone via ion exchange modification. The effect of modifiers with different concentration on the inhibition of volume expansion and the strength enhancement of modified Pisha sandstone were studied via ion exchange solidification. The effects of the concentration of ten types of modifier solutions and curing age were considered. The hydration of the mineral components, particle surface potential and reaction products were studied, respectively, by XRD, zeta potential, TG/DTG and SEM. Expansion volume and shear strength tests were conducted to assess the volume stability and mechanical property of modified Pisha sandstone. It showed that the expansion of Pisha sandstone was controlled and that the volume stability and shear strength were improved via ion exchange modification. The results of XRD, TG/DTG and SEM showed that the spacing of the crystal layers of the Pisha sandstone clay mineral and the mass lost had decreased significantly. When the concentration of the modifier was 0.05 mol/L, the volume reduced by 54.55% maximum and the shear strength reached the peak of 138 kPa.

Ordos, China has a large amount of environmentally hazardous Pisha sandstone and desert sand. Pisha sandstone ceramic sand and desert sand can be compounded to prepare light and fine aggregates, which are often used in construction mortar. However, it is unknown how the density and particle shapes of light and fine aggregates affect their rheological properties.

Vegetation degradation in arid and semi-arid regions reduces plant C inputs to the soil, which can impede soil nutrient cycling because of the limited C source for microbial metabolism. However, whether vegetation degradation aggravates microbial nutrient limitation in degraded ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions is not fully understood. Here, we investigated changes in soil enzyme activity and microbial nutrient limitation along a well-documented gradient of degraded seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.

Pisha sandstone (PS) is a special interbedded rock in the middle reaches of the Yellow River that experiences severe weathering and is loose and broken. Due to severe multiple erosion events, the Pisha sandstone region is called "the most severe water loss and soil erosion in the world" and "the ecological cancer of the earth". As a special pozzolanic mineral, PS has the potential to be used as precursors for the synthesis of green and low-carbon geopolymer gel materials and applied in ecological restoration.

The Pisha Sandstone is widely exposed in the northeastern margin of the Ordos basin. Since the Mesozoic the basin was subjected to uneven uplift several times, strong weathering and erosion have been occurring and a large amount of sediments derived from these erosional strata are input into the lower Yellow River, posing a fragile ecological environment along the river. However, the geochemical characteristics of the Pisha Sandstone have remained poorly understood.

The W-OH type polyurethane (W-OH) has been proven to be an economical and environmentally friendly slope protection solution for slope maintenance in Pisha sandstone areas. However, the Pisha area belongs to a typical temperate continental climate with large diurnal temperature changes in winter, spring, and autumn and freezing and thawing occurring alternately between days and nights. Under freeze-thaw cycle conditions, the effect of slope treatment largely depends on the interface shear strength between W-OH-treated Pisha sandstone and pristine sandstone.
