Abstract

This work provides a comprehensive review of the current research on S-SAPs. It begins by outlining the primary preparation methods, which include raw material pretreatment, graft copolymerization, and performance modification. The paper then examines its diverse applications in modern agriculture, such as improving water use efficiency as a soil water-retaining agent, acting as a controlled-release carrier for fertilizers and pesticides to mitigate environmental pollution, and its potential in ameliorating saline-alkali land. Furthermore, it delves into its utilization in environmental remediation, particularly its capacity to adsorb and eliminate heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from water and soil. In essence, the exploration and utilization of S-SAPs offer a promising technological solution for addressing agricultural waste management, enhancing agricultural resource efficiency, and ecosystem restoration.
