Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of saline-alkali land improvement technology, and in particular to a process for preparing a soil conditioner for saline-alkali land that prevents salinization and alkali return. Background Technology
[0002] Saline-alkali land is generally characterized by high salt content or alkalinity, poor soil structure, easy compaction, low organic matter content, and nutrient deficiency. It is a degraded soil with poor properties and low fertility, seriously affecting crop growth. Saline-alkali land is mostly formed in arid climates, high groundwater levels, low-lying areas, and coastal regions. Saline-alkali land is widespread in Northwest, Northeast, and North my country, regions that are chronically arid or semi-arid with low rainfall and high evaporation, leading to the accumulation of large amounts of salt in the soil and causing salinization. Comprehensive transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land is an important aspect of natural resource protection and improvement. It is an important strategic reserve resource for improving the quality and expanding the capacity of arable land in my country and a "potential granary" for increasing grain production.
[0003] Chemical remediation technology is currently one of the important methods for improving saline-alkali land. It typically involves adding chemicals such as desulfurized gypsum and phosphogypsum to the soil to neutralize soil alkalinity and reduce salinity. However, the effects of this method are not lasting and are prone to reversion to salinity and alkalinity, requiring regular replenishment of these chemicals to maintain the improvement effect. Furthermore, with the continuous accumulation of these chemicals, excessive amounts can easily disrupt the soil's ecological balance, affecting the survival environment of soil microorganisms and producing adverse effects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a process for preparing a soil conditioner to prevent salinization and alkali return in saline-alkali land. This process not only reduces the alkali content in saline-alkali soil and improves the soil's microbial environment, but also prevents absorbed salts from returning to the soil, thus preventing salinization and alkali return, resulting in a more lasting improvement effect. The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows.
[0005] A process for preparing a soil conditioner to prevent salinization and alkali reversion in saline-alkali land includes the following steps:
[0006] (1) Mix vinegar residue powder, zeolite powder and molasses aqueous solution evenly and then granulate. Then add wood flour to the obtained particles for coating. After completion, separate the particles and dry them to obtain the core for later use.
[0007] (2) Mix the calcium silicate or pseudo-wollastonite powder, zeolite powder, and desulfurized gypsum powder evenly, then add water and stir to form a slurry. Then coat the core surface with the slurry and dry it to obtain the modifier.
[0008] Further, in step (1), the ratio of vinegar residue powder, zeolite powder, and molasses aqueous solution is 60~80 parts by weight: 30~45 parts by weight: 15~22 parts by weight.
[0009] Further, in step (1), the volume ratio of molasses to water in the molasses aqueous solution is 1:1.3~1.7.
[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the fineness of the zeolite powder is 10~30 mesh.
[0011] Further, in step (1), the mass ratio of the particulate matter to the wood flour is 1:0.15~0.25. Optionally, the fineness of the wood flour is 30~50 mesh.
[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the drying temperature is 60~80℃ and the time is 1~1.5 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the particle size of the kernel is 0.5~2cm, and other particles of any suitable size can also be selected as needed.
[0014] Further, in step (2), the ratio of the calcium silicate or pseudowollastonite powder, zeolite powder, and desulfurized gypsum powder is 100-130 parts by weight: 40-58 parts by weight: 30-41 parts by weight. Optionally, the fineness of the powders is 80-120 mesh.
[0015] Furthermore, in step (2), the solid content of the slurry is 50~60 wt.%.
[0016] Further, in step (2), the slurry is applied to the core and rolled evenly according to the mass ratio of 0.35 to 0.5:1 between the slurry and the core. Then, the particles are separated and dried to obtain the modifier.
[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the drying temperature is 50~60℃ and the time is 1~1.5 hours.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: The saline-alkali soil conditioner of the present invention uses a mixture of vinegar residue, zeolite powder, and molasses as its core, and is coated with a shell of calcium silicate or pseudo-wollastonite, zeolite powder, and desulfurized gypsum powder. When this conditioner with its structural and component characteristics is added to saline-alkali soil, on the one hand, the vinegar residue and molasses in the core release acidic substances to neutralize the alkalinity of the soil, thus rapidly reducing soil alkalinity. Simultaneously, the molasses provides the soil with a large amount of organic matter lacking in saline-alkali soils, allowing for the reproduction of soil microorganisms, increasing soil fertility, reducing compaction, and improving soil structure. On the other hand, the core absorbs and concentrates salt in the soil through its adsorption properties, thereby achieving the goal of rapidly reducing the salt content in the soil. On the other hand, the silicate or pseudo-wollastonite in the outer shell undergoes a carbonation reaction with carbonate ions in the soil in the presence of moisture, forming calcium carbonate and nano-silica. This solidifies the carbonate ions in the form of insoluble calcium carbonate using the silicate or pseudo-wollastonite, reducing the carbonate ions, the main source of alkalinity in the soil. This is because the hydrolysis of carbonate ions produces hydroxide ions, leading to soil alkalinity. Furthermore, after the silicate or pseudo-wollastonite is consumed, the calcium ions released from the nano-silica and calcium sulfate react with the hydroxide ions in the soil to form calcium hydroxide, creating a hydrated calcium silicate cementitious component. This component seals the outer shell, effectively preventing the salts adsorbed in the core from re-entering the soil and causing salinization and alkali degradation. Additionally, the amendment can be separated from the soil by sieving, thus completely preventing the salts in the core from re-entering the soil and causing salinization and alkali degradation.
