Polyacrylic acid (PAA) is one of the most exciting hydrophilic polymers for water control and conservation; however, it suffers from poor mechanical properties during the agricultural applications. For that purpose a series of PAA-based multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) membranes have synthesized via a grafting process of MWCNTs using chitosan (CS) polymer as a binder. The fabricated membranes have spectroscopically characterized by different techniques to confirm the composite structure. The MWCNTs content into the PAA membranes has played a pronounced effect on water absorptivity, swelling behavior, and mechanical properties. PAA membrane has showed a fourfold increase in yield-stress by the addition of 3 wt% PAA/CS/MWCNTs, while preserving a 91% of water absorptivity of PAA membrane. The soil applications of the PAA/CS/MWCNTs membranes have showed remarkable improvements in soil moisture content compared to the PAA membrane. This study provides a promising pathway for future field applications, especially in arid lands.

Soils contaminated with heavy metals can embarrass a fatal risk to the environment and human life via the direct uptake of the heavy metal-contaminated agricultural crops. Hence, the treatment of metal-contaminated soils is attracting a lot of research activities to reduce the negative impact on the environment. In the current study, I have activated the surface of the carbon black (CB) adsorbent by introducing functional groups capable to efficiently capture the lead (Pb) metal ions from a Pb-contaminated sandy soil. The soil properties (e.g. electrical conductivity, acidity, carbon and nitrogen content, and organic matter) were studied before and after the treatment with the CB adsorbent. I also showed a comprehensive adsorption study in soil-batch extraction experiments, evaluating a series of factors such as the effects of soil pH (pH 3.0 to pH 7.0), Pb concentration into the soil (5-100 mg/L), and the soil temperature (15-50 °C).Furthermore, the recyclability of the adsorbent was highlighted to evaluate adsorption efficiency upon use. The results of the study were remarkable where a 100 % removal efficiency of Pb ions was obtained using only a 40 ppm of the oxidized CB compared to a 60% removal efficiency when using a pristine CB at the same concentration. The adsorption capacity of Pb ions was as high as 100 mg/g at 30 mg/L of oxidized CB adsorbent. The life cycle of oxidized CB adsorbent was also remarkable compared to that of pristine adsorbent. The recyclability data of the functionalized CB has showed an easy regeneration process with an efficient reusefor 5 cycles with 30 %a performance decline of 30 % only from the initial adsorption efficiency.
