Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water-retaining agent preparation, and particularly relates to a composite polyamino acid type water-absorbing resin for agriculture and forestry, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyglutamic acid and polyaspartic acid are important polymers that can be degraded by environmental microorganisms. They have attracted widespread attention due to their unique biocompatibility, degradability, and excellent water absorption properties. Polyglutamic acid is a polypeptide formed by the polymerization of glutamic acid monomers. Its molecular structure contains a large number of carboxyl groups, which can form a three-dimensional network structure, showing excellent water absorption and biodegradability. Polyaspartic acid is also a biopolymer material with many excellent properties. It is formed by the polymerization of amino and carboxyl groups of aspartic acid, forming a hydrophilic three-dimensional network structure that can absorb and retain large amounts of water, with remarkable water absorption and retention capacity. Polyaspartic acid also has good biodegradability, and its degradation products are environmentally friendly and reusable.

[0003] Currently, polyglutamic acid can be produced by microbial fermentation technology, and the polyglutamic acid produced has a higher molecular weight and excellent polymerization properties, but its fermentation process is complicated and the production cost is high. Polyaspartic acid can currently be prepared on a large scale by chemical synthesis methods, which has lower production cost and a simple preparation method, but its molecular weight is relatively low. In the prior art, various studies have focused on the preparation of these two polymers and their water-absorbing resins, providing a rich technical foundation for the development of novel polymerized amino acid water-absorbing resins.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN116199912A proposes a method for preparing a γ-polyglutamic acid superabsorbent resin. By mixing and crosslinking it with nisin, it forms a gel-like product with excellent water absorption and biodegradability. Chinese patent CN102002234A utilizes a γ-polyglutamic acid fermentation broth produced by Bacillus subtilis to prepare a water-retaining agent suitable for agriculture and forestry. Furthermore, Chinese patent CN111068099A proposes a method for preparing a polyaspartic acid-based water-retaining agent by crosslinking it with inorganic mineral materials, resulting in a simple production process and low cost. Wang Chuanhai et al. (Preliminary Study on the Water Absorption and Biological Effects of γ-Polyglutamic Acid, a New Water-Retaining Agent Material [J]. Chinese Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 2004, 5) studied the water absorption and biological effects of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA), demonstrating its high water retention capacity and ideal release in soil, as well as its significant drought resistance and seedling-promoting effects. Chinese patent CN112209781A relates to the use of a polyaspartic acid-based water-retaining agent in organic-inorganic compound fertilizers, suitable for agricultural cultivation in arid regions. These studies provide a technical foundation for the development of novel polymerized amino acid-based water-absorbing resins. However, these methods primarily utilize a single polymer, lacking methods for combining polyglutamic acid and polyaspartic acid.

[0005] Chinese patent CN110564146A discloses a preparation method of a chelate resin based on gamma-polyglutamic acid and polyaspartic acid. The method comprises the following steps: using gamma-polyglutamic acid, polyaspartic acid and an epoxy resin cross-linking agent as raw materials, adjusting the pH value of the system by hydrochloric acid, and reacting the raw materials to form a chelate resin without further chemical modification. The obtained chelate resin has a high water absorption rate and a fast swelling rate. However, the main components adopted in the patent are gamma-polyglutamic acid and polyaspartic acid, and microorganisms that degrade these two substances are present in soil. The water-absorbing resin based on these two substances has a relatively fast degradation rate in soil, is difficult to maintain water retention for a long time in soil, and has a relatively low water-absorbing resin strength. The water-absorbing resin in the patent has a washing liquid expansion rate of only about 150 g to 200 g, and its liquid absorption expansion rate is relatively low.

[0006] Therefore, the existing technology has not yet fully integrated and developed the cost and performance advantages of polyglutamic acid and polyaspartic acid. Therefore, developing a more efficient, low-cost and comprehensive performance polymerized amino acid water-absorbing resin preparation method has certain research value and practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a composite polyamino acid type water-absorbing resin for agriculture and forestry, and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0012] Preferably, the cross-linking agent is diazomethylenebisacrylamide, and the volume mass ratio of the acrylic acid to the cross-linking agent is 1 mL: 0.0015 g-0.00175 g.

[0013] Preferably, the initiator is selected from at least one of potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate and ammonium persulfate.

[0014] More preferably, the initiator is potassium persulfate.

[0015] Polyglutamic acid with a molecular weight of 700,000-1.1 million Daltons and polyglutamic acid with a molecular weight of 50,000-100,000 Daltons are subcategories of polyglutamic acid, specifically referring to polyglutamic acid produced by microbial fermentation and obtained through refined extraction with a purity generally above 90%. The molecular weight is strictly controlled in the range of 700,000 to 1.1 million Daltons or 50,000 to 100,000 Daltons. Agricultural polyglutamic acid is a type of polyglutamic acid produced by microbial fermentation and obtained through crude extraction with a purity of about 35%±10%. The other components are microbial residual products in the fermentation process, and their molecular weight is usually between 600,000 and 700,000 Daltons.

[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of the polyglutamic acid to the polyaspartic acid is 1:2-2:1.

[0017] Further preferably, the mass ratio of the polyglutamic acid to the polyaspartic acid is 1:2.

[0023] Preferably, the concentration of the NaOH solution is 4-6 mol / L.

[0024] Further preferably, the concentration of the NaOH solution is 5 mol / L.

[0025] The present invention also provides a composite polyamino acid type water-absorbing resin prepared by the above preparation method.

[0026] On the other hand, the present invention provides a use of the composite polyamino acid type water-absorbing resin in the preparation of an agricultural or forestry soil water-retaining agent.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] The present invention uses polyglutamic acid, polyaspartic acid and acrylic acid to carry out a cross-linking reaction, thereby enhancing the strength of the water-absorbing resin and slowing down the degradation rate of the water-absorbing resin in the soil, thereby extending the service life of the water-absorbing resin. The obtained composite polyamino acid water-absorbing resin not only reduces the cost of raw materials but also improves the performance of the product.

[0029] During the preparation of the composite water-absorbent resin of the present invention, the mixed molecular structure can form a relatively stable cross-linked network structure. This structure exhibits excellent stability during multiple water absorption and dehydration cycles, effectively reducing performance degradation caused by repeated use. Therefore, the composite water-absorbent resin of the present invention has good durability and can be reused multiple times, thereby reducing usage costs and improving economic benefits.

[0030] The polyamino acid-based water-absorbing resin of the present invention exhibits excellent biodegradability, avoiding the environmental pollution issues associated with traditional petroleum-based resins (such as polyacrylates). After use in soil, it naturally decomposes over a period of time, preventing soil contamination. Furthermore, the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbing resin can be degraded into monomeric amino acids or nitrogen-containing organic matter, which can be absorbed and utilized by plants, meeting the requirements of green agriculture and sustainable development. These environmentally friendly properties give it broad application prospects in ecological restoration and soil improvement.

[0031] The polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of the present invention can significantly increase the liquid absorption expansion rate of the water-absorbent resin by compounding polyglutamic acid and polyaspartic acid with acrylic acid. It is expected to further optimize the performance of the water-absorbent resin on the basis of existing technology, meet the needs of different application scenarios, and provide new technical support for the development of related fields.

[0069] Table 5 Performance comparison of Example 5 and other composite polyamino acid water-absorbing resins

[0070]

[0071] Comparative Example 1

[0072] (1) Dissolve 1 g of polyglutamic acid with a molecular weight of 700,000 to 1.1 million and 2 g of polyaspartic acid with a molecular weight of 10,000 in 50 mL of aqueous solution and mix them evenly to obtain a mixed solution;

[0073] (2) The mixed solution A was kept at 80 °C in a water bath, 0.9 g of a cross-linking agent (ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether) was added to the mixed solution A and stirred rapidly. After a period of time, the two began to cross-link and then formed a stable gel-like substance. The obtained gel-like substance continued to cross-link in a water bath for 3 h to obtain the product, a composite polyamino acid type water-absorbing resin.

[0074] The product was cut into 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm squares with scissors and placed in anhydrous ethanol for dehydration and removal of unreacted substances. It was then dried in a drying oven at 80°C for 48 hours and pulverized into powder using a grinder. The absorbency of the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of Comparative Example 1 and other composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resins in pure water and saline was tested using the testing method described in Example 1, as well as the absorbency of six repeated cycles of pure water absorption. (The preparation methods of the other composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resins differed only in the molecular weight of the polyglutamic acid or polyaspartic acid used in the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of Comparative Example 1, as shown in Table 6.)

[0075] Table 6 Comparative Example 1 and other composite polyamino acid water-absorbing resin performance comparison

[0076]

[0077] Table 6 shows that the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbing resin in Comparative Example 1 no longer possessed the ability to absorb water repeatedly after six reuses. Furthermore, during the preparation process using agricultural polyglutamic acid, it failed to effectively crosslink with the crosslinking agent, failing to form a gel-like water-absorbing resin and making subsequent liquid absorption rate testing impossible.

[0078] Comparative Example 2

[0079] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the cross-linking agent in step (3) is 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, and the other steps are the same as Example 1.

[0080] The absorption rates of the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of Comparative Example 2 and other composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resins in pure water and saline, as well as the absorption rates after six repeated cycles of pure water absorption, were tested using the testing method of Example 1. (The preparation methods of the other composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resins differed only in the molecular weight of the polyglutamic acid or polyaspartic acid used in the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of Comparative Example 2, as shown in Table 7.)

[0081] Table 7 Comparative Example 2 and other composite polyamino acid water-absorbing resin performance comparison

[0082]

[0083] Table 7 shows that the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbing resin in Comparative Example 2 exhibited a low liquid absorption rate and similarly low water absorption performance after six reuses. Furthermore, the water-absorbing resin prepared using agricultural polyglutamic acid exhibited a disintegrated structure after six reuses, resulting in a loss of liquid absorption capacity.

[0084] Comparative Example 3

[0085] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the content of the cross-linking agent in step (3) is 0.05 g, and the other steps are the same as those in Example 1.

[0086] The composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of Comparative Example 3 and other composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resins were tested for their absorbency in pure water and saline, as well as their absorbency after six repeated cycles of pure water absorption using the same method as in Example 1. (The preparation methods of the other composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resins differed only in the molecular weight of the polyglutamic acid or polyaspartic acid used in the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin of Comparative Example 3, as shown in Table 8.)

[0087] Table 8 Comparative Example 3 and other composite polyamino acid type water-absorbing resin performance comparison table

[0088]

[0089] Table 8 shows that the composite polyamino acid-based water-absorbent resin in Comparative Example 3 exhibited a low liquid absorption rate and similarly low water absorption performance after six repeated uses. This is primarily due to excessive crosslinking of the water-absorbent resin when the crosslinking agent content was too high, resulting in a smaller mesh size and a lower liquid absorption rate.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field do not deviate from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
