Biochar Grafted on CMC-Terpolymer by Green Microwave Route for Sustainable Agriculture

The deficiency of water sources and the environmental disposal large amounts biomass waste (orange peels) produces economic problems, though its conversion into biochar by a pyrolysis procedure might be used to improve soil productivity. In current study, we investigated performance superabsorbent composite grafted on CMC as low-cost, alternative, biodegradable terpolymer (IPNCB) for retention capacity. IPNCB was synthesized both microwave conventional routes. optimal reaction parameters proved that route has high grafting percentage (%G) short time compared route. characterized using different methods: FTIR, TGA, SEM. results show equilibrium swelling (EW) improved at 2% concentration. incorporation (BC) polymer network holding capacity (WHC) 57.6% (WR) 9.1% after 30 days. degradation test indicates good degradability rate. Mixing with prepared can plant growth reduce consumption through irrigation arid lands. is candidate in sustainable agriculture applications.
