Abstract

The present invention discloses a preparation method and application of a temperature-sensitive bio-based controlled-release compound fertilizer. The present invention uses castor oil and lignin, which are widely available and renewable resources, as main raw materials, and prepares modified lignin polyol and modified castor oil polyol through modification technology. The coating material prepared using these two polyols can improve the hydrophobicity of the coating while improving thermal stability. After adjusting the ratio of polyol to isocyanate, the prepared polyurethane has a higher degree of cross-linking, which can reduce the micropores on the surface of the membrane shell and increase the mechanical strength. The bio-based controlled-release compound fertilizer prepared using this material can effectively reduce the impact of temperature changes on the release period, improve the consistency of fertilizer nutrient release and crop fertilizer requirements, and at the same time, the controlled-release period can still reach 3 to 5 months, which can meet the nutrient needs of most crops.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fertilizer preparation, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a temperature-sensitive bio-based controlled-release compound fertilizer. Background Art

[0002] It is estimated that once applied to agricultural soil, up to 50% of traditional fertilizers will be lost (i.e. due to leaching and / or evaporation), or remain in the soil matrix due to low crop nutrient utilization rate. Controlled-release fertilizers can overcome these two problems. Controlled-release fertilizers have the advantages of being able to provide nutrients for a long time, one-time fertilization, no need for topdressing, and improving fertilizer utilization rate. However, in general commercial controlled-release fertilizers, nutrients will be released faster in an environment with high ground temperature, and the expected nutrient controlled-release period will not be achieved. The growth of flowers is very sensitive to nutrient supply. For example, in the early stage of growth, excessive nutrient supply will inhibit its growth and development, and more seriously, it will cause root burning and seedling burning. In the vigorous growth period, insufficient nutrient supply will cause it to lose fertilizer and grow slowly. At present, the ground temperature is high when flowers are cultivated in some areas, which is a challenge to the application of controlled-release fertilizers in flowers with longer growth cycles. On the other hand, most controlled-release fertilizer coating materials are often derived from petrochemical polymers. Since such materials are expensive and resources are non-renewable, their large-scale promotion and application in agriculture are limited.

[0003] At present, renewable bio-based synthetic polymer coated controlled-release fertilizers have shown broad application prospects in replacing petrochemical polymer coated controlled-release fertilizers. Several recognized environmentally friendly bio-based materials, including starch, cellulose and its derivatives, lignin, alginate, chitosan, biochar, etc., have been widely used in the production of coated controlled-release fertilizers. However, most of these materials have hydrophilic components, and the release period of coated controlled-release fertilizers directly prepared with them is difficult to reach more than 60 days, which cannot meet the long-term demand of flowers for fertilizers; on the other hand, when the soil temperature is around 30°C, the micropores on the outer shell of the coating of such materials will absorb water, which will further accelerate the release of fertilizers, resulting in a mismatch between nutrient release and plant absorption. Therefore, it is urgent to develop environmentally friendly bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizers with scientific controlled release and high temperature resistance. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects and deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a preparation method and application of a temperature-sensitive bio-based controlled-release compound fertilizer.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] The present invention discloses a preparation method and application of a temperature-sensitive bio-based controlled-release compound fertilizer. The present invention uses castor oil and lignin, which are widely available and renewable resources, as main raw materials to prepare bio-based polyurethane film materials. Castor oil contains three hydroxyl groups and can easily react with isocyanate to generate biodegradable polyurethane, but the polyurethane material prepared from castor oil has a linear flexible long-chain structure, and its mechanical strength and thermal stability are low, which is difficult to meet the requirements of practical applications. Castor oil has carbon-carbon double bonds, carbon-oxygen double bonds and hydroxyl groups, and can be modified by ester exchange, epoxidation, dehydration, pyrolysis, hydrogenation, ozonolysis, sulfonation and hydrolysis. The modified castor oil can significantly improve water resistance, mechanical strength and thermal stability after forming a prepolymer with other bio-based polyols. The addition of castor oil can also alleviate the shortcomings of uneven molecular weight distribution and poor biocompatibility of other polyols, forming a good complementary effect. Lignin contains hydrophobic benzene ring groups in its structure. Phenolization can increase the hydrophobic groups while improving the antioxidant capacity and the reaction activity of lignin, which can effectively reduce the water absorption capacity of the coating material and shorten the reaction time.

[0043] The present invention prepares modified lignin polyol and modified castor oil polyol by modification technology. The coating material prepared by using these two polyols can improve the hydrophobicity of the coating while improving the thermal stability. After adjusting the ratio of polyol to isocyanate, the prepared polyurethane has a higher degree of crosslinking, which can reduce the micropores on the surface of the membrane shell and increase the mechanical strength. The bio-based controlled-release compound fertilizer prepared by using this material can effectively reduce the impact of temperature changes on the release period, improve the consistency of fertilizer nutrient release and crop fertilizer requirements, and at the same time, the controlled-release period can still reach 3 to 5 months, which can meet the nutrient needs of most crops.

[0123] Example 5 Nutrient release of controlled-release compound fertilizer under different temperature conditions

[0124] 1. Experimental Methods

[0125] 10g of the controlled-release compound fertilizer prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9 were respectively put into 250mL plastic bottles, 200mL of deionized water was added after numbering, and the bottles were placed in different constant temperature incubators (20°C, 25°C, 30°C, and 35°C) for culture and extraction. Samples were taken after 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of culture and every 7 days, and the controlled-release period was when the nitrogen release reached 80%.

[0126] 2. Experimental Results

[0127] The nutrient release of the controlled-release compound fertilizer under different temperature conditions is shown in Tables 1 to 4. Comparing the nutrient release of the controlled-release compound fertilizer prepared in the examples, it can be seen that the optimal mixing ratio of modified castor oil polyol and modified lignin polyol is 7:3, and the optimal mixing ratio of coating material A and coating material B is 1.6:1.

By adding phenol-modified lignin to castor oil polyol, the thermal stability and water resistance of polyurethane can be effectively improved, and the prepared controlled-release compound fertilizer can effectively resist the unstable nutrient release caused by changes in ambient temperature.

[0139] Example 6 Application of different controlled-release compound fertilizers in flower planting

[0140] 1. Experimental Methods

[0141] The experiment was conducted in potted plants at Guangdong Weisheng Liansu Technology Co., Ltd. from June to September 2023. The test area has a subtropical monsoon climate, with rain and heat in the same season. The average daytime temperature during the test period was 33°C, and the maximum daytime temperature could reach 39°C. The test flowers were fragrant sparrows, planted in 140# flower pots, and usually bloomed 3 to 4 months after planting. Therefore, they were selected to verify the effects of controlled-release compound fertilizers with a controlled-release period of 3 to 4 months on crop growth. There were 8 treatments in the experiment (see Table 5), 5 replicates for each treatment, 5 grams of fertilizer per pot, and the aboveground fresh weight, plant height and crown width of the flowers were measured at harvest.

[0142] 2. Experimental Results

[0143] It can be seen from Table 5 that when the flower growth temperature is higher than 30°C, the nutrients of the ordinary 3-4 month controlled-release compound fertilizer begin to be released rapidly in the early and middle stages of flower growth, which cannot meet the nutrient supply of flowers in the middle and late stages, resulting in fertilizer deficiency in the late stages. The fresh weight of the aboveground biomass, plant height and crown width of the control group test flowers at harvest are significantly lower than those in Example 2.

[0151] From the SEM image, it can be seen that the film shell section of the controlled-release compound fertilizer prepared in Example 2 has no notch cracks, no obvious pores, and the film shell composition is uniform and the thickness is uniform, which can more effectively prevent moisture from entering the film and extend the nutrient controlled-release period of the coated controlled-release compound fertilizer. The polyurethane film becomes smoother with the addition of modified lignin polyol, and the controlled-release compound fertilizer prepared by blending modified lignin and modified castor oil can have a longer controlled-release period.

[0152] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
