Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic fertilizer preparation and relates to an organic fertilizer for heavy metal-contaminated soil and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional organic fertilizers (such as livestock and poultry manure compost and plant straw fertilizer) mainly provide nutrients but lack the ability to fix heavy metals. Although some improved products add passivators (such as biochar and apatite), they still have the following problems:

[0003] 1) The passivator is unevenly dispersed. Physical mixing results in discontinuous distribution of the passivator in the fertilizer particles, and the efficiency of contact with heavy metals is low. 2) Poor synergy. A single passivator is only effective for specific heavy metals (such as hydroxyapatite fixing lead and LDH fixing arsenic), and cannot cope with complex contaminated soils. 3) Inhibition of microbial activity. When the passivator is directly mixed with functional microorganisms, the heavy metal adsorption process may encapsulate the microorganisms and reduce their activity. 4) High concentrations of heavy metals in contaminated soils will directly poison functional microorganisms (such as Bacillus), resulting in the inability of microorganisms to effectively reproduce in the rhizosphere and reduced ability to degrade / transform heavy metals. 5) Although traditional coating technologies (such as resin coating) can delay the release of nutrients, they cannot coordinate the release of passivators. Premature release of passivators is easily washed away by rainwater, making it difficult to maintain the soil remediation effect for a long time. 6) Low resource utilization. The bacterial liquid residues produced during the fermentation process are often treated as waste liquid and are not recycled, increasing the burden on the environment.

[0004] Therefore, providing a composite organic fertilizer for heavy metal soil pollution has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an organic fertilizer for heavy metal contaminated soil and a preparation method thereof, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0012] Most preferably, the concentration of the CaCl2 solution is 0.1 mol / L, the concentration of the Na2HPO4 solution is 0.06 mol / L, and the chitosan solution comprises chitosan solid, acetic acid and water in a ratio of 5 g:2 mL:98 mL.

The particles are dried at 35-40° C. to a moisture content of ≤8%, and then the particles are placed in a fluidized bed and coated with a coating agent to obtain a weight gain rate of 10-12% to obtain organic fertilizer.

[0020] Preferably, the binder is a carboxymethyl cellulose solution with a mass fraction of 1-1.5%.

[0021] Preferably, the coating agent is a sodium alginate solution with a mass fraction of 3-5%.

[0022] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] (1) The present invention pre-loads the composite bacterial powder onto nanohydroxyapatite, Mg-Al-LDH, and modified biochar through step-by-step oscillation, embedding the microorganisms into the pores of the passivator (such as the microporous structure of biochar) to avoid direct poisoning by heavy metals. The passivator is constructed to form a "three-in-one" synergistic network. Nanohydroxyapatite fixes lead and cadmium (forming phosphate precipitation), and Mg-Al-LDH adsorbs arsenic and chromium (layered structure ion exchange). The modified biochar adsorbs copper, zinc, etc. (surface functional group complexation), solving the problem that traditional physical mixing cannot achieve uniform loading and synergistic efficiency on a microscopic scale.

[0024] (2) The present invention uses a mixed acid of citric acid / oxalic acid / acetic acid to treat biochar, which significantly enhances the biochar's ability to treat heavy metal ions and solves the problem of low adsorption capacity and easy saturation of unmodified biochar.

[0025] (3) The present invention adds the bacterial liquid residue of step 1 (containing bacterial metabolites enriched in trace elements) into the fermentation system to realize resource utilization. It can not only provide the trace elements and signal molecules required for microbial growth, but also reduce the fermentation cost, thus solving the problem of directly discarding the bacterial liquid and wasting resources in the traditional process.

[0026] (4) The present invention combines Bacillus subtilis (for organic matter degradation), Bacillus licheniformis (for antibiotic production), and Bacillus mucilaginosus (for phosphorus and potassium release) to form a functionally complementary bacterial community, maintaining community stability under heavy metal stress and simultaneously achieving organic matter degradation and nutrient release. This solves the problem of single bacterial species being easily inactivated and unable to remediate soil in multiple ways.

[0027] (5) The present invention uses sodium alginate to coat the particles, forming an ion-crosslinked network film on the surface of the particles, controlling the simultaneous release of the passivation agent and nutrients, and avoiding failure due to erosion by heavy rain. In addition, the material is biodegradable and has no secondary pollution, thus solving the problem that chemical coatings cannot take into account both environmental protection and functionality.

[0028] (6) The low-temperature vacuum drying of the present invention retains the activity of microorganisms to the maximum extent, and aerobic fermentation accelerates the humification of organic matter, generating humic acid to enhance the heavy metal complexing ability, thereby solving the problem of high-temperature drying inactivating microorganisms in traditional processes and extensive fermentation conditions leading to nutrient loss.
