The hydraulic performance and durability of geosynthetic clay liner containing various amounts of sodium polyacrylate polymer are experimentally studied. Sodium polyacrylate, generally known as a super-absorbent polymer, is a polymeric material with a potential of high water absorbance due to its chemical structure. In this study, sodium polyacrylate powder is used as a partial replacement of bentonite as much as 3%, 5% and 7% by the weight of bentonite. For comparison, the hydraulic performance of geosynthetic clay liner without super-absorbent polymer is also experimented. Atterberg limits, free swell index, hydraulic conductivity, self-healing capacity and wet/dry cycle tests are conducted in order to assess how super-absorbent polymer can affect the performance of geosynthetic clay liners as landfill liners and covers. The results show that the hydraulic conductivity and self-healing capacity of geosynthetic clay liner are relatively enhanced by super-absorbent polymer inclusion. The results of wet/dry cycle test show that using super-absorbent polymer as a partial replacement of bentonite considerably improves the durability of geosynthetic clay liner against wet/dry cycles. Geosynthetic clay liner containing super-absorbent polymer shows a negligible increase in hydraulic conductivity while there is a noticeable increase in hydraulic conductivity of specimen without super-absorbent polymer after 10 cycles of wetting and drying.

In this study, a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) comprising poly (IA-co-cellulose-co-VSA-co-AA; ICVA) core-SAP (CSAP) was synthesized through radical polymerization using itaconic acid (IA), acrylic acid (AA), cellulose, and vinyl sulfonic acid (VSA) as monomers. The absorption performances and relative biodegradability of various compositions prepared by adjusting the amounts of cellulose and VSA with constant IA and AA content were compared. Increasing the cellulose content in CSAP contributed to improved biodegradation of the surface-crosslinked SAP (SSAP) and gel strength, although the free absorbency (FA) and centrifuge retention capacity (CRC) decreased. Increasing the VSA content resulted in strong anionicity, which enables the absorption of large amounts of water. Surface-crosslinking technology was applied to the CSAP synthesized with the optimal composition ratio to increase its absorption performance and gel strength. Improved performance of the synthesized SSAP (a CRC of 30.4 g/g, absorbency under load (AUL) of 23.3 g/g, and permeability of 55 s) was achieved by selecting the optimal surface-crosslinking treatment time and the amount of distilled water in the surface-crosslinking solution: as the latter was increased in the surface-crosslinking solution, the AUL and permeability of the SSAP were improved, and its biodegradability was found to be 54% compared to the 100% biodegradable cellulose hydrogel in the control group.

Limitation of water resources and its great impact on agricultural and natural resources play a crucial role in the efficiency of water use. Applying super absorbent polymer to the soil may be one of the methods to minimize the stress of weather dryness in arid and semi-arid regions. In order to evaluate the effects of hydrophilic polymer application on yield and water use efficiency of rapeseed plants, an experiment was conducted under field condition in 2012 at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Maragheh. Treatments’ factors were: (i) 3 super absorbent polymers (SAP) (Taravat A200) levels of 0 (without application), 75 and 150 kg ha-1 A200 application, (ii) three irrigation levels of 80, 120 and 180 mm evaporation from class A basin in main plots, (iii) two cultivars ʻHyola 401ʼ and ʻRVSʼ in sub plots as factorial split plot combination based on completely randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that in all of the measured traits within the experiment there were significant differences between SAP levels. Furthermore, increasing irrigation interval led to an increase in a thousand seeds’ weight, but decreased seed yield. Increasing water stress raised seed oil percent and infertile silique and subsequently resulted in reduced oil yield. ʻHyola 401ʼ was more susceptible to embryo abortion compared with ʻRVSʼ. As a conclusion of the research, SAP (A200) application in quantities smaller than 75 kg ha-1 may be recommended for rapeseed production under field condition.
