In order to further improve the degradability of castor oil-based polyurethane, six different BPU coated controlled-release urea were prepared using liquefied corn straw (LCS)-based polyols, castor oil, isocyanate as raw materials, glycerol and acrylamide as crosslinking agents. The surface morphology, hydrophobicity, thermal stability, release characteristic curve, degradation related functional groups, colony, soil micro plastic content and other indicators of controlled-release urea were determined, and then six different controlled-release urea were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that the release time of LCS based polyurethane coated urea was shorter than that of CO based polyurethane coated urea, but the degradation was better. The crosslinking structure significantly improved the hydrophobicity of BPU and prolonged the release period of controlled-release fertilizer. When 30% castor oil was replaced by liquefied corn straw, the release period remained unchanged, but the degradability was improved, which made the content of microplastics in soil decreased.

Later, the stamp sands were dredged and deposited along the lake shores, causing large-scale contamination with copper. This rendered the land incapable of supporting vegetation. This study investigates the efficacy of vetiver <i>(Chrysopogon zizanioides)</i> root biochar as a soil amendment to enhance the quality of copper-contaminated stamp sands. The biochar was produced from spent vetiver roots following essential oil extraction, using a circular economy approach. Biochar was incorporated with the stamp sand at various concentrations (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20% w/w) and incubated over a 60-day period. Comprehensive soil analysis was conducted to assess carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, and copper speciation due to the amendments. The results indicated significant improvements in water-holding capacity, alkalinity, electrical conductivity, nutrient content, and organic matter levels. The 20% biochar amendment had a significantly higher impact on all parameters as compared to the other amendment rates.
