A novel and eco-friendly xanthan gum-g-poly(acrylic acid)/laterite (XG-g-PAA/laterite) organic-inorganic composite polymer used as chemical sand-fixing agent (CSFA) was successfully prepared by grafted copolymerization of natural XG, partially neutralized acrylic acid (NaA), and laterite in solution. FTIR spectra confirmed that NaA had been grafted onto XG chains, and the –OH groups of laterite participated in polymerization reaction. The influence of the content of CSFA on sand-fixing effect was investigated, and the results of the aging test indicated that the CSFA had remarkable water resistance, heat resistance, anti-freeze-thaw, and anti-ultraviolet aging performances, which could meet the requirement of application in the harsh desert environment. Moreover, it also showed excellent water-retaining and anti-evaporation properties.
