팽윤 능력이 다른 고흡수성수지(Super Absorbent Polymers)의 혼합 비율별 모래 토양의 물리화학성 변화 = Enhancement of Soil Physicochemical Properties by Blending Sand with Super Absorbent Polymers of Different Swelling Capacities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are hydrophilic mole-cules that can absorb large amounts of water. This study was conducted to investigate the enhancement of the physicochemical properties of sand soil blended with three SAPs imbibed with 100, 150, and 200-fold water. Three treatments were applied, namely, 100SAP, 150SAP, and 200SAP. The three SAPs were blended at concen-trations of 0% (control), 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10% with sand. The pH, electrical conductivity, and cation exchangeable capacity (CEC) of soil blended with the three SAPs were pH 6.35-6.46, 0.09-0.65 dS/m, and 1.42-1.92 cmolc/kg, respectively, and their capillary porosity, total porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity were 21.0-29.3%, 39.2-48.7%, and 272-470 mm/hr. CEC, capillary poros-ity, total porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil were positively correlated with the ratio of the SAPs (p<0.01). These results indicate that blending sand soil with SAPs increased CEC, capillary porosity, and satu-rated hydraulic conductivity, thus improving the nu-trient-retention capacity, water-retention capacity, and permeability of the soil.
