This project aims to evaluate a patented sulfur polymer in commercial oil spill remediation and slow-release fertilisers. Key objectives are to determine how the polymer degrades, assess the effectiveness of the polymer in oil spill sorption in different contexts, and investigate the polymer as a matrix for slow-release fertilisers. The project expects to generate new approaches to sustainable remediation and crop production. Expected outcomes include new knowledge about the biodegradation of the polymer, new methods for deploying the polymer in oil spill cleanup, and new fertilisers that prevent nutrient waste and runoff. Significant benefits are expected for the environment, as well as economic benefits to the manufacturer and end-users.

该项目旨在评估商业溢油补救和缓释肥料中的专利硫聚合物。主要目标是确定聚合物如何降解，评估聚合物在不同环境下吸附溢油的有效性，并研究聚合物作为缓释肥料的基质。该项目预计将产生可持续补救和作物生产的新方法。预期成果包括关于聚合物生物降解的新知识，在溢油清理中使用聚合物的新方法，以及防止营养浪费和径流的新肥料。预计对环境以及对制造商和最终用户的经济利益都有重大好处。
