Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil improvement technology, specifically to an acidified soil conditioner and its preparation method and method for improving acidified soil. Background Technology

[0002] Soil acidification is prevalent in southern my country, and severe acidification can lead to problems such as soil compaction, microbial imbalance, reduced fertility, decreased crop yields, and lower crop quality. Using soil conditioners is one of the main methods to improve soil acidification. Many types of soil conditioners are available, including organic, inorganic, and organic-inorganic composite types.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application CN117925252A discloses a targeted aluminum control and acidified soil amendment material based on soil and material properties. It belongs to the organic-inorganic compound acidified soil amendment, which includes 40%~60% alkaline conditioner, 20%~40% organic materials and 30%~40% modified biochar by mass percentage. The formulation of this amendment is determined based on big data of soils with different acidification levels and various material properties, and the key parameters for the synergistic effect of aluminum control / acid inhibition / fertilization are optimized.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application CN116948654A discloses an acidic soil conditioner based on calcium and magnesium supplementation. It mainly belongs to the category of inorganic acidified soil conditioners and includes the following components by weight: 40-80 parts of phosphorus tailings powder, 10-20 parts of silicon-based yellow phosphorus slag powder, and 5-20 parts of silicate minerals. It has a good improvement effect primarily on acidic red soils lacking calcium and magnesium.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent application document CN105331368A discloses a soil conditioner containing water-soluble small molecule organic matter. The soil conditioner containing water-soluble small molecule organic matter is obtained by acidifying and decomposing organic wastewater to obtain a liquid solution rich in water-soluble small molecule organic matter, then adding alkaline oxides, granulating and cooling, and then adding beneficial microorganisms.

[0006] However, although the various soil conditioners or soil amendments provided in the above literature can improve soil pH to a certain extent, their alkaline substances are easy to dissolve quickly, and the pH is prone to rebound after a sudden increase. They cannot effectively regulate and improve agricultural product yield in the long term. In addition, some existing bacterial amendments are difficult to store at room temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide an acidified soil conditioner, its preparation method, and a method for improving acidified soil. The acidified soil conditioner provided by this invention achieves solid waste resource utilization and long-term release of alkaline substances through the composite of solid waste and functional materials; it achieves core-shell slow release and multi-level regulation through core granulation and outer core coating; and it achieves green preparation and precise control by incorporating technologies such as high-temperature calcination, ultrasonic-assisted impregnation, and nano-dispersion, while solving the problem of room-temperature storage for bacterial-containing conditioners.

[0022] Furthermore, the crop straw in S2 is corn or rice straw, with a carbon content ≥40%, ash content ≤15%, fixed carbon ≥70% after pyrolysis and carbonization, and porosity ≥80%.

[0023] Furthermore, the magnesium salt is either magnesium nitrate or magnesium sulfate, with a purity ≥99.9%.

[0024] Furthermore, in S3, the alkali-tolerant nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Azotobacter chroococcum) strain has an effective viable count ≥ 2.5 billion / g; the phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus megaterium) strain has an effective viable count ≥ 2.5 billion / g.

[0025] Preferably, in S3, the mass-volume concentration of the chitosan acetic acid solution is 0.5%~2% (w / v), and the acetic acid concentration is 1%~3%.

[0030] Secondly, the present invention also provides an acidified soil conditioner prepared by the above method.

[0031] Furthermore, the soil acidification conditioner comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0032] The steel slag-phosphogypsum composite contains 45-55 parts, humic acid 10-20 parts, carboxymethyl cellulose 2-4 parts, MgO@biochar 15-25 parts, and microbial microcapsules 4-6 parts.

[0033] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a method for improving acidified soil, specifically, applying the acidified soil conditioner as described above 3 to 7 days before rice transplanting, with an application rate of 100 to 200 kg / mu, and after application, thoroughly tilling and mixing the top 20 to 30 cm of soil and watering it with sufficient water.

[0034] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] (1) In terms of raw materials, it can realize the resource utilization of solid waste and the composite of functional materials.

[0036] The soil acidification amendment provided by this invention is made from raw materials such as alkali-tolerant nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, steel slag, phosphogypsum, magnesium nitrate, crop straw, humic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polylactic acid (PLA), dichloromethane, liquid culture medium, sodium alginate, CaCl2, and chitosan. Its technical indicators are: CaO ≥ 15%, SiO2 ≥ 6%, MgO ≥ 3%, fixed carbon ≥ 5%, effective viable bacteria count ≥ 200 million / g, pH 8-10, particle size 2-5mm, alkaline substance release rate of 30-40% in 0-7 days, daily average alkaline substance release rate ≤ 5% after 7 days, daily alkaline substance release rate ≥ 0.5%, and release duration ≥ 90 days.

[0037] By calcining and activating steel slag (CaO / SiO2 source) and phosphogypsum (Ca / S source) under a CO2 atmosphere, highly active calcium silicate (Ca2SiO4) is generated, enabling the resource utilization of solid waste and the long-term release of alkaline substances. Furthermore, by loading nano-MgO (particle size ≤50nm) onto the surface of biochar using a magnesium nitrate impregnation-confined calcination method, the pH buffering capacity (specific surface area >300m²) is simultaneously enhanced. 2 / g). Alkali-tolerant nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria were selected and bred. The sodium alginate-chitosan double encapsulation technology can solve the problem of bacterial survival in alkaline environments, with a bacterial survival rate of >90%.

[0038] (2) In terms of structure, it can achieve core-shell sustained release and multi-level regulation, and can achieve two-stage pH regulation. Specifically, it is reflected in:

[0039] Core-based rapid neutralization: The core of the steel slag-phosphogypsum composite can rapidly release Ca. 2+ / OH - It can raise the soil pH to neutral within 7 days.

[0040] Long-lasting slow-release outer shell: The outer shell of PLA-coated MgO@biochar gradually degrades with soil moisture, continuously releasing alkaline substances, maintaining pH stability, and achieving 180 days without rebound.

[0041] The porous structure of biochar provides colonization space for microorganisms, while humic acid can activate the activity of the microbial community, forming a symbiotic system of "carrier-nutrient-microbial community".

[0042] (3) In terms of process, it can achieve green preparation and precise control.

[0043] In the preparation of the steel slag-phosphogypsum composite, calcination of steel slag and phosphogypsum at 1200℃ in a CO2 atmosphere promotes the formation of Ca2SiO4, with a Ca2SiO4 content ≥60%, which improves the activity by 2 times compared to traditional lime. In the preparation of MgO@biochar, ultrasonic-assisted impregnation combined with low-temperature (500℃) calcination is used to achieve uniform dispersion of nanoparticles, resulting in a loading of ≥8%. Furthermore, freeze-drying combined with chitosan coating overcomes the limitation of cold chain transportation required for bacterial agents, and the bacterial activity loss is <10% after 6 months of storage at room temperature.

[0044] (4) In terms of the collaborative mechanism, it can achieve three-in-one repair.

[0045] First, chemical neutralization, alkaline substances (Ca) 2+ MgO, OH - Firstly, it can directly neutralize soil acidity; secondly, it uses physical adsorption, with the biochar pore structure locking in H+. + Al 3+ The three main methods are: ion remediation, bioremediation, and biological remediation. Functional microbial communities fix nitrogen and solubilize phosphorus, promoting organic matter accumulation and aggregate formation. Through this integrated approach of chemical, physical, and biological remediation, highly efficient remediation of acidified soils can be achieved.

[0046] (5) In terms of application value, it can achieve a win-win situation of low cost and ecological benefits.

[0047] The acidified soil conditioner provided by this invention uses 60% industrial solid waste as raw material, and the overall cost can be reduced by 30% compared with commercially available products. It meets the green "dual carbon" requirements, and each ton of product can absorb about 300 kg of steel slag and 100 kg of phosphogypsum, and reduce CO2 emissions by about 0.5 tons. One application can last for 2 to 3 years, and can simultaneously improve acidification and enhance soil fertility.

[0048] Therefore, the soil acidification amendment provided by this invention has the characteristics of long-term release regulation, green and low cost, high efficiency and precise control and easy storage. Attached Figure Description

[0095] (2) Determination of available manganese in soil: After extraction with a pH 7.3 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-calcium oxide-triethanolamine (DTPA-CaCl2-TEA) buffer solution, the manganese was determined by ICP-MS (refer to NY / T 890-2004).

[0096] (3) Determination of soil base saturation: The total amount of exchangeable bases was determined by the 1 mol / L ammonium acetate exchange-neutralization titration method, the cation exchange capacity was determined by the ammonium acetate extraction titration method, and the base saturation was calculated (refer to LY / T 1243-1999, LY / T 1244-1999, LY / T 1247-1999).

[0097] (4) Rice yield measurement: Refer to the "Operation Specification for Rice Yield Measurement" (DB33 / T 2517-2022).

[0098] The test results are shown in Tables 2-5 below.

[0099]

[0100] Table 2 shows that: After 90, 180, 360, and 540 days, the soil pH of treatment 2 increased by 0.47, 0.39, 0.50, and 0.34 units compared to treatment 1, respectively; after 90, 180, 360, and 540 days, the soil pH of treatment 3 increased by 0.43, 0.42, 0.48, and 0.36 units compared to treatment 1, respectively; and after 90, 180, 360, and 540 days, the soil pH of treatment 4 increased by 0.45, 0.41, 0.5, and 0.35 units compared to treatment 1, respectively. The soil pH of treatment 5 increased by 0.42, 0.36, 0.36, and 0.22 units respectively at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days after application compared to treatment 1; the soil pH of treatment 6 increased by 0.47, 0.39, 0.44, and 0.29 units respectively at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days after application compared to treatment 1; and the soil pH of treatment 7 increased by 0.49, 0.32, 0.26, and 0.08 units respectively at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days after application compared to treatment 1.

[0101] Over time, the soil pH of treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 showed a decreasing trend, but the rate of decrease, from smallest to largest, was: Treatment 2 / Treatment 3 / Treatment 4 < Treatment 6 < Treatment 5 < Treatment 7. At all time points, the soil pH of treatment 8 was lower than that of treatment 1. In the short term (within 90 days), the effects of treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were similar; however, in the longer term (180–540 days), the effects of treatments 5, 6, and 7 were significantly weaker than those of treatments 2 / 3 / 4. This indicates that applying the soil conditioner of this invention can effectively increase the pH of acidified soils, and the effect can be sustained for a relatively long time (two rice growing years).

[0102]

[0103] Table 3 shows that: After 90, 180, 360, and 540 days of application, the available manganese in the soil under treatment 2 decreased by 33.0%, 29.5%, 26.6%, and 23.9% compared to treatment 1, respectively; after 90, 180, 360, and 540 days of application, the available manganese in the soil under treatment 3 decreased by 31.4%, 28.9%, 27.9%, and 24.8% compared to treatment 1, respectively; and after 90, 180, 360, and 540 days of application, the available manganese in the soil under treatment 4 decreased by 32.1%, 28.2%, 27.2%, and 24.8% compared to treatment 1, respectively. Treatment 5 showed a decrease in available manganese in the soil compared to treatment 1 at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days after application, with reductions of 30.5%, 25.2%, 24.5%, and 15.3%, respectively. Treatment 6 showed a decrease of 32.4%, 27.5%, 26.3%, and 21.3%, respectively, compared to treatment 1 at the same time points. Treatment 7 showed a decrease of 33.3%, 19.7%, 12.4%, and 3.5%, respectively, compared to treatment 1 at the same time points. Over time, the available manganese in the soil increased in treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, but the rate of increase was in the order of treatment 2 / 3 / 4 < treatment 6 < treatment 5 < treatment 7. Treatment 8 showed an increase in available manganese in the soil compared to treatment 1 at all time points. In a shorter period (within 90 days), the effects of treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were similar; however, in a longer period (180-540 days), the effects of treatments 5, 6, and 7 were significantly weaker than those of treatments 2, 3, and 4. This indicates that applying the soil acidifier of this invention can effectively reduce available manganese in the soil (a barrier to soil acidity) and the effect can be sustained for a relatively long time (two rice growing years).

[0104]

[0105] Table 4 shows that: After application, soil base saturation at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days in treatment 2 increased by 40.1%, 37.8%, 30.4%, and 31.7% compared to treatment 1, respectively; after application, soil base saturation at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days in treatment 3 increased by 41.0%, 37.3%, 31.1%, and 31.5% compared to treatment 1, respectively; and after application, soil base saturation at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days in treatment 4 increased by 40.7%, 36.6%, 30.7%, and 32.5% compared to treatment 1, respectively. Treatment 5 showed an increase in soil base saturation of 39.9%, 34.9%, 19.5%, and 16.7% compared to treatment 1 at 90, 180, 360, and 540 days after application, respectively. Treatment 6 showed an increase of 39.6%, 35.2%, 27.1%, and 28.5% compared to treatment 1 at the same time. Treatment 7 showed an increase of 42.0%, 16.5%, 3.5%, and 1.1% compared to treatment 1 at the same time. Over time, the soil base saturation of treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 showed a decreasing trend, but the rate of decrease, from smallest to largest, was: Treatment 2 / Treatment 3 / Treatment 4 < Treatment 6 < Treatment 5 < Treatment 7. Treatment 8 showed a decrease in soil base saturation at all time points compared to treatment 1. In a shorter period (within 90 days), the effects of treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were similar; however, in a longer period (180-540 days), the effects of treatments 5, 6, and 7 were significantly weaker than those of treatments 2, 3, and 4. This indicates that applying the soil acidifier of this invention can effectively increase soil base saturation (an important indicator of soil fertility) and the effect can be sustained for a relatively long time (two rice growing years).

[0106]

[0107] Table 5 shows that: Treatment 2 increased rice yield by 15.3% and 12.5% ​​in the first and second years compared to Treatment 1, respectively; Treatment 3 increased rice yield by 16.9% and 14.4% in the first and second years compared to Treatment 1, respectively; Treatment 4 increased rice yield by 15.9% and 12.8% in the first and second years compared to Treatment 1, respectively; Treatment 5 increased rice yield by 6.9% and 5.0% in the first and second years compared to Treatment 1, respectively; Treatment 6 increased rice yield by 5.1% and 2.5% in the first and second years compared to Treatment 1, respectively; and Treatment 7 increased rice yield by 8.5% and -0.2% in the first and second years compared to Treatment 1, respectively. Treatment 8 resulted in a decrease in rice yield. This indicates that the application of the soil acidifier of this invention can effectively increase rice yield and the effect can be sustained for a relatively long period (two rice planting years).

[0108] In summary, after a single application of the soil conditioner of this invention, it can significantly increase soil pH and base saturation, reduce available manganese in the soil, and substantially increase rice yield over a relatively long period of time, demonstrating significant advantages. By employing a composite of solid waste and functional materials, it achieves the resource utilization of solid waste and the long-term release of alkaline substances; through core granulation and outer core coating, it achieves core-shell slow release and multi-level regulation; by incorporating technologies such as high-temperature calcination, ultrasonic-assisted impregnation, and nano-dispersion, it achieves green preparation and precise control, and solves the problem of room-temperature storage for bacterial-containing conditioners; it features long-term release regulation, green and low-cost operation, high efficiency, precise control, and easy storage.
