Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of soil improvement, and relates to a hydrothermal carbon-vinegar residue organic fertilizer with nitrogen loss control function in saline-alkali land and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Saline-alkali land, characterized by high pH, ​​high salinity, poor soil structure, and reduced water and fertilizer retention capacity, severely restricts agricultural development and ecological environment improvement. Saline-alkali land management can not only improve land productivity and farmers' income, promoting regional economic development, but also increase arable land area to meet growing food demand. Furthermore, saline-alkali land management helps improve the ecological environment and prevent soil degradation. Therefore, saline-alkali land management not only has a positive impact on agricultural production and economic development, but also holds significant importance for environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0003] Saline-alkali land remediation is characterized by complexity, long-term nature, and high cost, and its impact on the ecological environment must also be considered, involving advanced technical requirements. Currently, there are four methods for saline-alkali land remediation: engineering measures, agronomic measures, chemical measures, and biological measures. Among these, chemical measures, especially the application of soil conditioners, have the advantages of being highly targeted, fast-acting, and easy to use. However, existing saline-alkali land soil conditioners have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1) Chemical amendments (such as gypsum, sulfur, and sulfuric acid) improve soil salinization by replacing sodium ions or lowering pH. However, in high pH environments, ammonium nitrogen is easily volatilized, and nitrate nitrogen is easily leached. Chemical amendments lack nitrogen fixation mechanisms, resulting in low fertilizer utilization and an inability to replenish soil organic matter. Long-term use can lead to soil compaction and decreased microbial activity. 2) Organic amendments (such as compost and green manure) improve soil structure by increasing organic matter. However, organic materials cannot effectively control nitrogen release rates, requiring frequent application, increasing management costs, and posing a risk of nitrogen loss. 3) Mineral conditioners (such as zeolite and bentonite) fix salts through adsorption. However, the high cost of mineral mining and processing makes large-scale promotion difficult. Furthermore, they only adsorb salts and cannot simultaneously improve soil nutrients and the microbial environment.

[0005] Therefore, providing a fertilizer modifier with nitrogen loss control function has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a hydrothermal charcoal-vinegar residue organic fertilizer with nitrogen loss control function in saline-alkali land and its preparation method, specifically including the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Mix plant straw and garden waste, crush into 2-5cm pieces, dry at 60-70℃ until the moisture content is ≤10%, then mix with water at a solid-liquid mass ratio of 1:8, and perform a hydrothermal reaction at 1.5-2.0 MPa and 190-210℃ for 2-3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, filter and remove the filtrate. Mix the filter residue with acid at a solid-liquid mass ratio of 1:4 and soak for 10-14 hours. After soaking, filter again and remove the filtrate. Activate the filter residue at 300-400℃ for 1-1.5 hours. After activation, crush to 150-200 mesh to obtain hydrothermal char powder.

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of plant straw to garden waste is 3:1.

[0009] Preferably, the plant straw is one or more of rice straw, corn straw, wheat straw, sorghum straw, cotton straw, soybean straw, and peanut straw, and the garden waste includes one or more of dead branches and leaves, bark, sawdust, and weeds.

[0010] Step 2: Crush the desulfurized gypsum to 100-120 mesh, then mix it with acid solution at a solid-liquid mass ratio of 1:3, microwave it at 600-650W for 10-15 minutes, filter it, remove the filtrate, and calcine the filter residue at 170-180℃ for 1-1.5 hours to obtain modified gypsum powder.

[0011] Preferably, the acid solution is one of the following: a phosphoric acid solution with a mass fraction of 5-6%, a lactic acid solution with a mass fraction of 7-8%, an acetic acid solution with a mass fraction of 15-20%, and a citric acid solution with a mass fraction of 8-10%.

[0012] Step 3: Mix vinegar residue with calcium carbonate to pH 5-5.5, then add carbon source, compound enzyme and compound bacteria, ferment at 35-45℃ and oxygen content ≤0.5% for 6-7 days, then ferment at 45-50℃ for 3-4 days, turning the pile once every 12 hours. After fermentation, collect the leachate, inactivate the leachate at 95-98℃ and collect it for later use. Dry the fermented material at 70-80℃ to a moisture content of 9-12% to obtain fermented vinegar residue.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of the vinegar residue, carbon source, compound enzyme, and compound bacteria is 100:2:1:1.

[0014] Preferably, the carbon source is one or more of sucrose, glucose, lactose, maltose, fructose, and molasses.

[0015] Preferably, the complex enzyme comprises cellulase, pectinase and amylase in a mass ratio of 3:1:2.

[0016] Preferably, the compound bacteria include lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mass ratio of 3:1.

[0017] Step four: Mix leachate, seaweed extract, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and water to obtain a coating solution; mix hydrothermal charcoal powder, fermented vinegar residue, and binder to obtain a coating layer; mix modified gypsum powder, humic acid, earthworm castings, and diatomaceous earth for granulation; spray the coating solution into the mixture during granulation to obtain a coating thickness of 80-100 μm to obtain masterbatch; coat the masterbatch with the coating layer in a coating machine to obtain a coating thickness of 300-400 μm to obtain hydrothermal charcoal-vinegar residue organic fertilizer granules with a particle diameter of 1.6-2 mm.

[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of the leachate, seaweed extract, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and water is 10:5:3:100.

[0019] Preferably, the mass ratio of the hydrothermal charcoal powder, fermented vinegar residue, and binder is 40:20:3. Most preferably, the binder is a polyvinyl alcohol solution with a mass fraction of 5-6%.

[0020] Preferably, the mass ratio of the modified gypsum powder, humic acid, earthworm castings and diatomaceous earth is 4:2:3:1.

[0021] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The fertilizer conditioner prepared by the present invention adopts a double coating structure. The coating liquid forms a hydrophilic film to reduce nitrogen volatilization. The coating layer reduces nitrogen loss through pore adsorption and slow release. The hydrothermal carbon has a high specific surface area and functional groups after acid activation and high temperature carbonization. It can adsorb and slowly release ammonium nitrogen. The coating layer and coating liquid work together to achieve physical barrier and chemical slow release, avoiding the defects of traditional conditioners that lack nitrogen fixation mechanism and have excessive nitrogen volatilization and leaching rate in saline-alkali land.

[0023] (2) The fertilizer improver prepared by the present invention has multiple organic components. Fermented vinegar residue, earthworm castings and diatomaceous earth provide stable organic matter, promote microbial colonization, have high hydrothermal carbon chemical stability, can remain in the soil for a long time, and continuously improve the pore structure. After two fermentations, the organic matter content of fermented vinegar residue is significantly increased, which solves the problem that scientific conditioners cannot replenish organic matter and the nitrogen loss of traditional organic fertilizers.

[0024] (3) This invention uses plant straw, garden waste and vinegar residue as raw materials to reduce production costs. It uses natural acid liquid to modify gypsum to avoid strong acid pollution. Compared with commercial activated carbon and hydrothermal carbon, the cost is lower. It avoids the problems of high cost of mineral conditioning agents and pollution risk of chemical modifiers.

[0025] (4) The present invention has a multi-component synergistic effect. The modified gypsum powder provides calcium ions to replace sodium ions, humic acid chelate salts, and diatomaceous earth to improve air permeability. It simultaneously reduces salt, adjusts pH, and increases fertility. The coating layer design delays the decomposition of core particles, avoiding the problem of multiple applications and complex management of single-function conditioners. Detailed Implementation
