As a response to aging of cultured urease-producing microorganisms, the blending method was examined to obtain the required carbonate production amount using the apparent viability (Rcv) based on previous research. As a result, a significantly higher carbonate content than the amount of CaCl2 2H2O used was produced. Since this trend has been obtained in p ...
