Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compound fertilizer production technology, and in particular to a granulation process for amino acid-based compound fertilizer with added urea-formaldehyde. Background Technology

[0002] Compound fertilizers are essential agricultural inputs, widely used in crop fertilization due to their balanced nutrients and ease of application. The amino acid granulation method is a highly efficient, high-concentration compound fertilizer production technology. It primarily utilizes the neutralization reaction between ammonia and sulfuric acid within a granulator, instantly generating ammonium sulfate melt and releasing a large amount of heat. This melt acts as a liquid-phase binder, agglomerating solid powder into granules. This method offers advantages such as high pelleting rate, good particle strength, and reduced drying energy consumption through the utilization of reaction heat.

[0003] Currently, the nitrogen in compound fertilizers produced using the amino acid method on the market is mainly fast-acting ammonium nitrogen, which has problems such as easy volatilization, large leaching losses, and short fertilizer effect period, which can easily lead to crop nutrient deficiency in the later stages and environmental pollution.

[0004] Urea-formaldehyde, as an organic, slightly soluble, slow-release fertilizer, is an important slow-release nitrogen source. Its nitrogen needs to be gradually released through microbial decomposition, which can significantly improve nitrogen utilization.

[0005] However, directly applying urea-formaldehyde to the amino acid process presents the following technical problems: the high instantaneous temperature of the amino acid reaction may cause thermal decomposition of urea-formaldehyde, which can easily reduce the slow-release function and make it difficult to achieve controlled release of phosphorus and potassium nutrients; urea-formaldehyde is an organic compound, and its physical properties such as melting point and adhesiveness differ greatly from those of inorganic salts, making it relatively difficult to achieve uniform mixing and stable granulation with inorganic nutrients.

[0006] Therefore, providing a granulation process for compound fertilizer using the amino acid method with added urea-formaldehyde to solve the thermal stability problem of urea-formaldehyde under high-temperature amino acid reaction conditions, and producing compound fertilizer with high particle strength, excellent slow-release performance, and low caking is a technical problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a granulation process for amino acid-based compound fertilizers with added urea-formaldehyde, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a granulation process for amino acid-based compound fertilizer with added urea-formaldehyde, comprising the following steps: S1. Preparation of urea-formaldehyde solution: Urea and formaldehyde solution with a mass fraction of 38-40% are added to a reaction vessel at a molar ratio of 1:1.8-2.2. The mixture is heated to 55-60°C, and sodium hydroxide with a mass concentration of 11-12% is added to adjust the pH to 7.0. The mixture is stirred for 60-80 minutes to generate hydroxymethylurea solution. Sulfuric acid with a mass concentration of 12-15% is added to the hydroxymethylurea solution to adjust the pH to 4.5. The mixture is stirred for another 50-60 minutes to obtain urea-formaldehyde solution.

[0009] S2. Preparation of synergistic solution: Weigh 10-12 parts by weight of casein, 5-8 parts by weight of glutamic acid, 2-4 parts by weight of aspartic acid, and 40-45 parts by weight of water, mix them evenly to obtain the synergistic solution.

[0010] S3. Solid mixture mixing: Weigh 25-30 parts by weight of urea, 15-18 parts by weight of monoammonium phosphate, 8-10 parts by weight of potassium chloride, 3-5 parts by weight of modified biochar, 2-4 parts by weight of polyethylene glycol, and 1-3 parts by weight of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and mix them evenly to obtain a solid mixture.

[0011] S4. Amino acid granulation: The solid mixture is placed into a rotary drum granulator. The conveying pump and nozzle are started, and the urea-formaldehyde solution and synergist are sprayed into the solid mixture bed through the granulation nozzle. Liquid ammonia and sulfuric acid are sprayed in simultaneously through a special nozzle, so that the liquid ammonia and sulfuric acid can undergo a neutralization reaction on the surface of the solid mixture, promoting the rolling, agglomeration and bonding of the material into granules, and obtaining a compound fertilizer precursor with a particle size of 3-5mm.

[0012] S5. Drying: The compound fertilizer precursor is placed in a hot air dryer at 90-100℃ to dry, and a compound fertilizer with a moisture content of less than 1.5% is obtained.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the amount of liquid ammonia added is 1.0 to 1.2% of the mass of the solid mixture, the molar ratio of liquid ammonia to sulfuric acid is 1.5 to 1.8:1, the volume concentration of liquid ammonia is 80 to 85%, and the volume concentration of sulfuric acid is 45 to 50%.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the neutralization reaction temperature in S4 is 75-85°C.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amount of urea-formaldehyde solution added in S4 is 12-15% of the mass of the solid mixture.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amount of synergistic liquid added in S4 is 8-12% of the mass of the solid mixture.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotational speed of the rotary drum granulator is 25-30 rpm.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the modified biochar is prepared by the following method: Step 1: Biochar preparation: Dry straw and bamboo until the moisture content is 8-12%. Crush the dried straw and bamboo separately in a crusher to obtain 60-100 mesh powder. Then mix them at a mass ratio of 2:1 and place them in a carbonization furnace to carbonize at 500-520℃ for 1.5-2 hours to obtain biochar.

[0019] Step 2, Biochar Modification: Weigh 35-40 parts by weight of biochar, 3-4 parts by weight of nano titanium dioxide, 1-2 parts by weight of polyethylene glycol, and 50-55 parts by weight of water, place them in an ultrasonic device for 15-20 minutes, filter, and dry to obtain modified biochar.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasonic device has a temperature of 45-50°C and a frequency of 80-85 kHz.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention deeply integrates the urea-formaldehyde synthesis process with the amino acid granulation process, and simultaneously completes urea-formaldehyde spraying, liquid ammonia neutralization and particle agglomeration in a rotary drum granulator. This breaks through the limitations of the segmented operation of traditional processes. The introduction of urea-formaldehyde not only provides a slow-release nitrogen source, but its high molecular organic properties also act as a natural binder. In synergy with the ammonium sulfate melt, it significantly improves the strength of the finished particles and effectively reduces the tendency of the product to clump.

[0022] 2. This invention involves carbonizing a mixture of straw and bamboo under high temperature conditions, then adding nano-titanium dioxide and polyethylene glycol for modification in a plasma device to obtain modified biochar. The modified biochar possesses a porous structure and a large specific surface area. The photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide and the dispersing and water-retaining properties of polyethylene glycol, combined with ultrasonic modification, further enhance the biochar's adsorption, slow release, and activation effects on compound fertilizer nutrients, achieving efficient nutrient utilization. Ultrasonic action allows nano-titanium dioxide to be uniformly loaded within the biochar pores, forming a composite adsorption layer. The positively charged surface of the nano-titanium dioxide can adsorb phosphate ions (PO4) from the compound fertilizer through electrostatic interactions. 3- ), sulfate (SO4 2- Anionic nutrients such as phosphorus and sulfur are introduced, reducing leaching losses. Polyethylene glycol, as a polymeric dispersant, can form a hydrophilic film on the surface of biochar, which can slow down the erosion of nutrients by water. Moreover, it can control and regulate the nitrogen release rate through membrane permeation, avoiding the phenomenon of "early seedling burn and later nutrient deficiency".

[0023] 3. By precisely controlling the molar ratio of the amino acid reaction and the temperature of the reaction zone in the granulator (75-85℃), this invention ensures that the amino acid reaction provides sufficient liquid phase and heat for granulation, while avoiding excessive temperature that could lead to the decomposition and failure of urea-formaldehyde. By introducing heat-sensitive urea-formaldehyde into the amino acid process, the slow-release effect and fertilizer efficiency of compound fertilizer are improved.

[0024] 4. This invention incorporates casein, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid during the preparation of the synergistic solution, thereby improving the fertilizer efficiency of the compound fertilizer. Casein dissolves in water to form a colloidal solution. Its polymer chains can encapsulate the solid raw materials of the compound fertilizer through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, filling the internal voids of the particles and enhancing their bonding strength and compressive strength. Simultaneously, the good flowability of the casein colloid allows it to evenly cover the surface of the raw materials during granulation. Combined with the rolling action of the drum, this results in more regular spherical particles. Furthermore, the positively charged amino groups in the casein molecules can adsorb phosphate ions (PO4) from the compound fertilizer through electrostatic interactions. 3- ), sulfate (SO4 2- Anionic nutrients, such as casein, can adsorb K+ by the negatively charged carboxyl groups in casein molecules. + NH4 + Cationic nutrients enhance the slow-release regulation effect of compound fertilizers, thereby improving the fertilizer efficiency of compound fertilizers.

[0025] 5. This invention adds sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to the compound fertilizer. The anionic carboxymethyl groups of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be adsorbed on the surface of the solid raw materials of the compound fertilizer, forming "steric hindrance" to prevent the raw material particles from agglomerating. The hydrophilic carboxyl groups in the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose molecule can form hydrogen bonds with soil particles, enhancing soil water retention and reducing nutrient loss caused by rainwater erosion.

[0053] At the wheat experimental base, fertilization was carried out 8-10 days after the wheat seedlings emerged, with an application rate of 45-50 kg per mu (approximately 0.067 hectares) of fertilizer. The wheat yield after harvest was measured. One month after fertilization, the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic matter content in the soil was measured. The control group was not fertilized. The detection methods were as follows: the organic matter in the soil was detected using NY / T 1121.6-2006 "Soil Testing", and the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in the soil was determined by liquid chromatography. The results are shown in Table 1.

The positively charged amino groups in casein molecules can adsorb phosphate ions (PO4) from compound fertilizer through electrostatic interactions. 3- ), sulfate (SO4 2- Anionic nutrients, such as casein, can adsorb K+ by the negatively charged carboxyl groups in casein molecules. + NH4 + Cationic nutrients enhance the slow-release regulation effect of compound fertilizers, thereby improving their fertilizer efficiency. The introduction of urea-formaldehyde not only provides a slow-release nitrogen source, but its high molecular weight organic properties also act as a natural binder, synergistically improving the strength of the finished granules and effectively reducing the tendency for clumping.
