The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a superabsorbent polymer absorber containing metal nanoparticles and an application of the superabsorbent polymer absorber which is manufactured by the same and has antibacterial, sterilization, far infrared ray emission, prevention of blood oxidation, and mineral releasing functions. Specifically, the present invention relates to a technique in which metal nanoparticles such as copper, brass, bronze, silver, gold, germanium, and zinc are formed on the superabsorbent polymer by using a water-free manufacturing method, then, when the superabsorbent polymer absorbs water, the metal nanoparticles are naturally and uniformly dispersed, thereby allowing the superabsorbent polymer to exhibit inherent properties of the metal nanoparticles, and an application thereof.

The present invention provides a medium for plant cultivation including a thermoplastic resin containing at least one of an ethylene unit and a propylene unit, wherein an extract obtained by treating 10 g of the thermoplastic resin with 50 mL of ion-exchange water at 95 C. for 4 hours has a pH at 25 C. not less than 4 and not more than 9; a medium for plant cultivation allowing a plant to be efficiently grown regardless of the type of the plant with an apparatus and a method for plant cultivation including the medium for plant cultivation; and an apparatus and a method for plant cultivation including the medium for plant cultivation.

A hydroponics growing medium comprising mineral fibres and an organic binder, the growing medium has a Weathered Interlaminar Strength of at least 4 kilopascals and a phenol content of less than or equal to 0.01% by weight.

A composition including a plant medium and a poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide that comprises a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules. The poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide may comprise of a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide. The composition may include one or more nutrients. The composition may be in a solid form, a fluid form, or a combination thereof. The poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble in a fluid. In one embodiment, the poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide composition may have particles having a diameter of 212 m or less, and which may be homogeneous.
