Waste Based Fibrillary Biodegradable Soil Mattress

Abstract

Agricultural activities are essential for the country's economy and development, but their environmental side effects are pretty high. Sustainable, responsible production and consumption should be supported to minimize this damage. Soil covers and mulches currently used in the agricultural sector are made from petrochemical-based synthetic materials. Their existence for many years without dissolving in nature harms both nature and living things. This study obtained soil cover with a mixture of hemp, a by-product of banana production, and PLA biodegradable fiber as carrier fiber. A natural non-woven technical fabric has been developed that helps maintain soil moisture at optimum levels and is intended for use in scorching climates due to its capacity to absorb water or moisture up to 5 times its dry weight. The developed non-woven structures are aimed to provide solutions to problems such as weed growth. While the specified features are provided without disturbing the eco-ambiance, sustainability is ensured as a result of biodegradation and mixing with the soil In order to create the optimum structure, various building design experiments were carried out with different raw material ratios and relevant basic tests were applied.

Atık Esaslı Fibriller Biyoçözünür Toprak Örtüsü

Abstract

Tarımsal faaliyetler, ülke ekonomisi ve kalkınması için önemlidir ancak çevresel yan etkileri oldukça fazladır. Bu zararı en aza indirmek için sürdürülebilir, sorumlu üretim ve tüketim desteklenmelidir. Tarım sektöründe mevcut olarak kullanılan toprak örtüleri ve malçlar petrokimya esaslı sentetik malzemelerden yapılmaktadır. Uzun yıllar doğada çözünmeden var olmaları hem doğaya hem de canlılara zarar vermektedir. Bu çalışmada Narlı ve Vezir tohumlarıyla elde edilen kenevir, muz atıklarından gübre üretilirken açığa çıkan kısa elyaf ve taşıyıcı lif olarak Polilaktik Asit (PLA) biyobozunur lif harmanları ile toprak örtüsü elde edilmiştir. Geliştirilen toprak örtüsünün, toprak nemini optimum seviyelerde tutmaya yardımcı, kuru ağırlığının ortalama 5 katı kadar su veya nemi emme kapasitesinden dolayı geliştirilen kumaşların farklı iklim tiplerinde kullanımı amaçlanmaktadır. Teknik nonwoven yapının yabani ot büyümesi gibi problemlere de çözüm sunması hedeflenmiştir. Belirtilen özellikler eko-ambiyansı bozmadan sağlanırken biyolojik olarak parçalanıp toprağa karışması sonucu sürdürülebilirlik sağlanır. Optimum yapının oluşturulması için farklı hammadde oranlarında çeşitli yapı tasarım denemeleri yapılarak ilgili temel testler uygulanmıştır.
