Time-dependent hydrophobic characterisation of granular materials synthesised with commercial chemical agents [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The impact of hydrophobicity on unsaturated granular materials is important because suction is a function of the degree of saturation as well as the surface tension and contact angle of the water menisci.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 3, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Finding feasible solutions for sustainable food production is challenging. Here we try to understand the balance between crop productivity and ecological stewardship using agroecological‐based soil management strategies. We evaluated the potential of different organic materials such as dairy manure compost and different biochar manure co ...

Evaluation of soil properties in variously aged Scots pine plantations established on sandy soil
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021 Pines are widely planted for sand dune stabilization and their cultivation results in the changes in physical, chemical, hydro-physical and water repellency properties.

Effect of kaolinite and Ca-montmorillonite on the alleviation of soil water repellency
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2004 The effects of adding 1-3% (weight) kaolinite or Ca-montmorillonite on the wettability of silica sand, made highly water repellent with stearic acid, was studied during wetting and prolonged drying phases at 50°C.

Preliminary experiments of soil hydrophobic character with krüss dsa drop shape analyser [PDF]
, 2023 In our experiments, we used Krüss DSA 100 drop shape analyzer to test the wettability of different Hungarian soil and sediment samples, which measures the contact angle (cA) and water drop penetration time (WDPT), excellent indicators of the wettability ...

Impact of duration of land abandonment on soil properties
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2023 Abandonment of agricultural fields triggers the ecosystem recovery in the process referred to as secondary succession. The objective of this study was to find the impact of secondary succession during 12 years lasting abandonment of agricultural fields ...

Vibration-assisted torrefaction of urban leaf waste for improved moisture-resistant solid biofuels
Fuel Processing TechnologyUrban leaf waste is an underutilized biomass stream that can be upgraded into moisture-resistant solid biofuels. This study quantifies the hydrophobicity of torrefied urban leaf biomass using water droplet penetration time (WDPT) measured on standardized
