Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural science and technology, specifically to a straw biochar, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Straw, as an important renewable resource, has an annual output of up to 900 million tons and is characterized by its wide distribution and abundant reserves. In terms of composition, straw is mainly composed of lignocellulose, in which cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are intertwined through complex chemical bonds and physical interactions, forming a highly dense lignocellulose structure. This unique structural characteristic makes straw difficult to degrade in the natural environment, and also poses a significant challenge to its industrial utilization.

[0003] Pretreatment technology plays a crucial role in the resource utilization of straw. Currently, mainstream pretreatment technologies are mainly divided into three categories: physical, chemical, and biological technologies. Physical pretreatment technologies include methods such as mechanical grinding, crushing, and steam explosion. While these technologies are simple to operate, they generally suffer from high energy consumption and low processing efficiency. Chemical pretreatment technologies mainly employ acid-base treatment and organic solvent extraction. Although the treatment effect is relatively good, they face problems such as high processing costs and the potential generation of toxic and harmful byproducts. Biological pretreatment technologies mainly rely on the action of specific microorganisms or enzymes. While environmentally friendly, they have significant drawbacks such as long processing cycles and low efficiency.

[0004] In the field of straw biochar preparation, existing technologies generally produce biochar with poor performance, mainly due to small specific surface area and underdeveloped pore structure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for preparing straw biochar. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, the pit has a length of 1.1m to 1.3m, a width of 0.7m to 0.9m, and a height of 0.2m to 0.3m.

[0015] Preferably, the washing is performed using deionized water.

[0016] Preferably, the carbonization process involves heating the pretreated straw in nitrogen at a rate of 10°C / min to a carbonization temperature of 500°C, holding the temperature for 60 minutes, and then cooling it to room temperature to obtain a carbonized sample.

[0017] Preferably, the activation treatment step is as follows: NaOH and KOH are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1 to prepare an alkaline activator, the carbonized sample is mixed with the alkaline activator in a mass ratio of 1:4, activated at 700℃ for 60 min, after the reaction is completed, cooled to room temperature, acid-washed with HCl solution, washed with deionized water until neutral, and dried at 80℃ to a fixed weight to obtain straw biochar.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This invention provides a method for preparing straw biochar, comprising the following steps: corn stalks are first crushed, bagged, placed in a pit, covered with soil, and fermented for 1-3 months; then washed, dried at 80-85℃, and crushed a second time to obtain pretreated straw; the pretreated straw is then carbonized to obtain a carbonized sample; and the carbonized sample is then activated to obtain straw biochar. This invention involves burying crushed corn stalks in soil, utilizing soil microbial flora to ferment the corn stalks to obtain pretreated straw, followed by carbonization and activation to obtain high-performance corn straw biochar. Experimental results show that the cellulose, cellulose, and hemicellulose components in the pretreated straw are significantly reduced compared to the original corn stalks; and the BET specific surface area and total pore volume of the straw biochar prepared by this invention are significantly higher than those prepared from the original straw through carbonization and mixed alkali activation.
