A Sustainable Approach: Cellulose-Based Biodegradable Water-Retaining Agents Facilitating Mine Restoration in Arid Xinjiang Mining Zones
To address the poor biodegradability and high environmental risks of traditional synthetic water-retaining agents (WRAs), and the vegetation colonization challenge induced by organic matter deficiency in saline-alkali mining areas, a biodegradable WRA (CCM−CMC) was facilely synthesized from natural cellulose (CCM) and...
