Traditional farming practices are increasingly being replaced with more sustainable approaches, including the development of slow-release fertilizers (SRFs), to mitigate environmental stress and ensure food security for ever-growing global population. Despite rising focus on eco-friendly materials like biopolymers fertilizer coatings, optimizing their hydrophobicity remains a significant challenge. In this context, nanotechnology offers promising route toward achieving sustainability. study, hydrophobic colloidal lignin particles (20–50 nm) were synthesized using straightforward acid precipitation method involving coprecipitation (LGe) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). This strategy aimed reduce particle size, enhance stability, increase by incorporating nonpolar SDS alkyl chains onto surface nanomicelles. TEM STEM microscopy confirmed formation core–shell hybrid micelles, which incorporated into cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) matrix at various ratios produce series waterborne coating formulations films. The spherical morphology new features, along integration an interpenetrating network, led nanostructured films good (WCA ∼ 106.1°) slow biodegradability in soil. When applied diammonium phosphate (DAP) granular fertilizer, coatings revealed interfacial adhesion, enhanced hardness (2.5-fold), improved water-holding capacity soil (18%). Most importantly, 100 day nutrient leaching study impressive nutrient-release longevity, showing 75% reduction N–P leaching. Subsequently, these SRFs evaluated 6 month wheat (Triticum aestivum)) cultivation trial across different textures, demonstrating substantial enhancements leaf area (150–200%), total root length (160%), biomass production (575%), grain yield (115–264%), quality-related parameters. These findings highlight robust solution addressing deficiencies promoting agricultural practices, especially crops extended growth cycles, while inspiring novel broader applications.

Redispersibility of Paper Under Low Agitation and How It Deteriorates over Time

Recycling, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 10(3), С. 92 - 92

In many paper applications the is supposed to disintegrate into its constituating fibers after disposal. This happens in water with only very little input of mechanical energy. The aim this work understand natural aging processes different pulp types and their impact on disintegration behavior under low agitation. We first introduce a laboratory testing method assess performance various energy input. Then we investigated changes corresponding physical properties over nine-month period storage. measured wet strength, retention value WRV, speed penetration, contact angle. Our findings reveal substantial degradation time for unbleached paper. contrast, bleached are much less pronounced. best predictor dispersibility turned out be tensile strength. Furthermore, found strong relation between deterioration fiber wetting (contact angle) swelling (WRV). hence conclude that observed decrease agitation related deteriorated uptake fiber-fiber bonds which prevents breaking by water. As potential mechanisms identified hornification, crosslinking lignin self-sizing as major factors influencing fiber-water interactions ultimately behavior.

Various pretreatment methods, often employed in wood biorefineries, aim to disrupt the architecture, thereby enhancing efficiency of hemicellulose extraction for increasing production bio-ethanol, bio-gas, and bio-oil, as well improving pulping process. Pretreatment process has advantages such enhanced yield biorefined products reducing chemicals energy consumption. This study examined effect an alkaline hydrolysis birch sawdust on chemical composition, aggregation ability, surface activity soda lignin obtained by pulping. The led a remarkable removal reduced its mechanical strength. resorption fragments lignocellulosic matrix during was observed. original treated carried out under laboratory conditions at 165 °C 90 min, using 4.5% sodium hydroxide. A higher pulp from sawdust. content acidic methoxyl groups composition hydrolyzed explained predominance polycondensation reactions forming primary structure. changes size zeta potential values formed particles, modality distribution with decreasing pH, were studied. early-proposed suggestion about existence structural complementarity formation ordered supermolecular structures been testified. air–water interface extracted sawdust, compared residue, mainly attributed lower shifting hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance structure toward hydrophobicity.
