Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fertilizer production technology, and in particular to a method for rapidly preparing amino acid organic fertilizer using agricultural and forestry waste. Background Technology

[0002] Organic fertilizers can effectively improve the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers, decompose pesticide residues, improve crop quality, produce pollution-free food, and reduce the harm to humans and animals caused by excessive application of chemical fertilizers. On the other hand, the inorganic and organic nutrients contained in organic fertilizers can directly provide nutrition to crops, which is conducive to crop absorption and quality improvement, enhances the activity of soil microorganisms, accelerates the decomposition of soil organic matter and the transformation of mineral nutrients, thereby strengthening the absorption of nutrients by crop roots and enhancing the plant's ability to resist diseases and pests.

[0003] In recent years, amino acid bio-organic fertilizer has become a popular new type of fertilizer in the fertilizer industry, showing excellent performance in application. It contains organic matter rich in ammonia nitrogen. As a new type of fertilizer that has been promoted and applied in recent years, amino acid organic fertilizer is widely used in agricultural planting due to its low production cost, complete nutrient elements, and unique microorganisms that can effectively improve the soil environment, increase the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers, and are relatively environmentally friendly and safe. Organic fertilizer can improve soil, enhance soil fertility, and restore the normal ecological balance of the soil. Organic compost containing cow manure can better increase the soil organic matter content, form granular structure, and improve soil aeration, water retention, and fertilizer retention, thereby benefiting crop root growth and improving plant quality and yield. Applying bio-organic fertilizer not only provides the nutrients needed for crop production, but also has the advantages of regulating soil microbial ecology, improving soil, and increasing yield and quality. It can improve crop quality, enhance plant resistance, and reduce the incidence of soil-borne diseases. However, the high cost and long manufacturing cycle of amino acid bio-organic fertilizer are key issues hindering the healthy development of the industry, and there is relatively little research on its inexpensive preparation.

[0004] Generally, the fermentation of organic fertilizer takes 7 to 60 days. Natural anaerobic fermentation typically takes two months, resulting in high land costs; while aerobic fermentation generally takes more than 7 days, with higher costs for ventilation and electricity. Therefore, rapid fermentation is an important development direction for organic fertilizer technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to provide a method for rapidly preparing amino acid organic fertilizer using agricultural and forestry waste.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for rapidly preparing amino acid organic fertilizer from agricultural and forestry waste includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) Preparation of digestion liquid from agricultural and forestry waste

[0009] Agricultural and forestry waste is dried to a moisture content of less than 30%, and then crushed into powder with a particle size of less than 1 cm to obtain waste powder. According to the weight ratio, 1 part of agricultural and forestry waste waste powder is added to 1-50 parts of acid solution, the temperature is maintained at 30-240℃, and the mixture is stirred appropriately for 1-2000 min to obtain digestive liquid, the main components of which are glucose and xylose.

[0010] The agricultural and forestry waste includes crop straw, husks, garden waste, etc., and its main components are cellulose and hemicellulose.

[0011] The acid solution is an aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1% to 20% (w / v), and the acid is an acidic substance with an acidity coefficient pKa value of less than -1.7 at 25°C, including but not limited to at least one of hydroiodic acid, hydrobromic acid, and perchloric acid.

[0012] (2) Neutralization and detoxification

[0013] Gradually add the neutralizing agent to the digestive fluid while stirring, until the pH value rises to above 5.0, removing toxic substances such as aldehydes, acids, and phenols that affect fermentation.

[0014] Neutralizing agents include at least one of the following: ammonia water, liquid ammonia, ammonia gas, ammonium bicarbonate, urea, ammonium carbonate, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium oxide, and calcium hydroxide.

[0015] (3) Fermentation

[0016] Mix one part of the inoculum powder with the neutralized digestion solution at an inoculation ratio of 1:5 to 100,000. Aerate the mixture at a rate of 0.1 to 100 L / L. -1 Solution·min -1 Ferment at 25–37°C for 4–72 hours to obtain crude protein solution.

[0017] The international unit for fermenter aeration is vvm, expressed as air volume / culture volume / min. It is the ratio of aeration rate per minute to the actual volume of the fermentation liquid in the tank. The gas volume is measured under standard conditions, and its unit is cubic meters per (cubic meters * minutes). Aeration ratio = aeration rate (unit: cubic meters / minute) / fermentation liquid volume (unit: cubic meters).

[0018] The strain is a mixture of one or more fungal or bacterial species. It is characterized by being a non-toxic probiotic that can ferment glucose or xylose and inorganic ammonia nitrogen to produce single-cell proteins. Fungi include *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*, *Pichia pastoris*, *Candida utilis*, *Candida parapsilosis*, *Candida tropicalis*, *D. hansenli*, *T. cutaneum*, *G. candidum*, and *A. niger*, while bacteria include *Bacillus subtilis*, *Lactobacillus*, *Acetobacter*, *Corynebacterium*, *Bacillus brevis*, and *Pseudomonas*.

[0019] (4) Hydrolysis and autolysis

[0020] Adjust the pH to 4–6, and the electrolyte ion concentration to 0.0001%–3.0% (w / v, one or more of zinc, iron, copper, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts). Maintain a high temperature of 40–70℃ for 1–80 hours to induce autolysis of the bacterial cells. Utilize the dissolved proteases to hydrolyze single-cell proteins, obtaining an amino acid water-soluble fertilizer mother liquor. The amino nitrogen concentration in the mother liquor is generally not less than 5.0 g / L. If the protease activity is insufficient, hydrolysis can be promoted by adding proteases at a concentration of 0.1–3000 IU / L.

[0021] (5) Organize

[0022] The mother liquor is treated by means of filtration, centrifugation, evaporation, etc., to further obtain amino acid liquid fertilizer or amino acid solid fertilizer, and the mass fraction of total nutrients is not lower than the level specified in the agricultural industry standard of the People's Republic of China NYT 525-2021.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the technical solution of this invention are:

[0024] 1) This invention uses inexpensive agricultural and forestry waste such as sawdust and straw to produce organic compost. This compost combines inorganic nitrogen sources with proteins, which are then hydrolyzed into amino acids using the autolytic properties of microorganisms, making it easier to absorb. This organic fertilizer not only provides ammonia nitrogen in the form of amino acids but also improves the living environment of soil microorganisms, modifies soil structure, enhances soil fertility, greatly improves product quality, and is suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0025] 2) By using chemical catalysis technology, the lignocellulose in agricultural and forestry waste is rapidly degraded into monosaccharides that are easily utilized by microorganisms, which greatly shortens the hydrolysis time.

[0026] 3) Change the long-cycle solid-state composting fermentation technology and use liquid ventilation technology to quickly ferment and obtain a large amount of single-cell protein.

[0027] 4) By changing the conditions, microbial autolysis is initiated, and the proteases carried by the microorganisms hydrolyze single-cell proteins into amino acids. Detailed Implementation
