The invention discloses activation of brown coal humic acid and a preparation method of slow-release coated organic fertilizer thereof. Oxidation of brown coal is conducted through nitric acid, so that the content of the brown coal humic acid, the number of carboxy group on the surface and the adsorptivity to ammonium ion are improved; biological activation of the brown coal humic acid is conducted through zymin, so that the the brown coal humic acid is degraded into small molecular; by means of ammonium hydroxide, a series of reactions such as condensation, oxidation and degradation are conducted, so that nitridation and dissolution of the brown coal humic acid are conducted; proportioning of the brown coal humic acid after nitridation and dissolution, organic composted fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer are conducted to obtain granules, and the granules are coated by a coating agent made from gelatin, CMC-Na, zeolite powder and soybean oil. According to the method, not only is the slow-release performance of the organic fertilizer improved, but the fertilizer granules are stable, moisture-resistant, easy to transport and of low cost; the use ratio of the brown coal is effectively improved, the brown coal humic acid is degraded into small molecular, the hydrophilia is improved, the fertilizer efficiency is significantly improved, technology is simple, the cost is low, and large-scale production can be conducted.
