Superabsorbent Polymers and Their Effect on Soil Water Retention
Original language description
Agricultural land is in a very bad condition in the Czech Republic nowadays. There is a problem of pollution caused by previous synthetic fertilizing. The land lost its natural property of water controlling. Raining has rather devastating than beneficialeffect for the ground. Artificially applied nutrients are often flushed away and only a bit of them is transported to the targeted location. Solution of these problems can be found in application of natural fertilizer in form of hydrogel matrix. Superabsorbent polymers were used for this purpose in this work. The aim of this work is to develop superabsorbent polymer with incorporated fertilizer in its structure and confirm its ability to enable controlled release of fertilizer from hydrogel matrix. This system should also provide enhancement of natural ground humidity. Water retention tests were then also carried out. Several different samples of superabsorbent polymers based on acrylic acid were observed during our research. They diff
