Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic fertilizer manufacturing, and more particularly to a method for preparing humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer that chelates and enhances the effects of trace elements. Background Technology
[0002] Water-soluble organic fertilizers refer to a type of organic fertilizer derived from plants, animals, or microorganisms. Through physical, chemical, and biological processes, their main nutrient components can be completely dissolved in water to form a stable solution. By combining the advantages of organic fertilizers with modern efficient fertilization technologies, precise, efficient, and convenient application of organic nutrients can be achieved. They are mainly used in drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, micro-sprinkler irrigation fertilization, and soilless cultivation in organic agriculture.
[0003] In existing technologies, when water-soluble fertilizers containing humic acid are applied in saline-alkali land or hard water irrigation areas, the conventional humic acid is prone to flocculation and sedimentation in environments with pH > 7.5, leading to a significant reduction in the bioavailability of micronutrients. Simultaneously, key elements such as iron and zinc exhibit strong antagonism in the complex chelate system due to competition for binding sites, causing nutrient imbalance in crops. Furthermore, traditional formulations lack slow-release design, resulting in leaching within 48 hours under irrigation conditions, leading to the loss of effective components, especially in sandy soils. Although existing technologies attempt to improve performance using synthetic chelating agents or physical coatings, they face new problems: chelating agents lose their binding ability with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, leading to decreased stability and difficulty in biodegradation.
[0004] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop a formula for preparing humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer that chelates trace elements to enhance their effects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose a method for preparing humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer that chelates and enhances the effects of trace elements, in order to solve the problems of poor environmental adaptability of humic acid and severe element antagonism in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for preparing humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer that chelates and enhances the effects of trace elements.
[0007] A method for preparing a humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer with chelated trace elements, characterized by the following preparation steps:
[0008] Step S1: Add modified humic acid to deionized water, heat to 40-50℃, stir for 25-35 minutes, add hydrated ferrous sulfate, introduce compressed air, stir and react for 30-50 minutes to obtain chelate solution;
[0009] Step S2: Add the modified chelating agent and citric acid to the chelation solution, heat to 40-50℃, stir for 8-12 min, add hydrated zinc sulfate, hydrated manganese sulfate and boric acid, stir for 15-20 min, add 10% ammonia solution, adjust pH to 5-6, stir reaction for 50-70 min at 250-350 rpm to obtain composite chelation solution;
[0010] Step S3: Add urea to the compound chelation solution, heat to 30-40℃, stir for 10-20 min, add potassium dihydrogen phosphate and potassium sulfate, stir for 18-22 min at 250-350 rpm, continue stirring for 10-20 min to obtain nutrient chelation mother liquor.
[0011] Step S4: Add the nutrient chelation mother liquor to the concentration tank, reduce the pressure to -0.08MPa, raise the temperature to 40-50℃, compress for 50-70min, add nano silica and modified starch, stir for 8-12min, add to the high-pressure homogenizer, process for 5-7min at a pressure of 23-27MPa, filter, dry, cool, and pass through an 80-mesh vibrating sieve to obtain water-soluble organic fertilizer;
[0012] Because Fe 3+ Humic acid readily hydrolyzes into a colloidal precipitate at pH > 4, while in an acidic environment of pH 2.5-3.5, the carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups of humic acid preferentially react with Fe. 3+ A stable five-membered ring chelate is formed, thus preventing its transformation into a precipitate. Simultaneously, as pH increases, Zn... 2+ / Mn 2+ By binding with the o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid group of the modified chelating agent, distribution chelation and elemental synergistic anti-antagonism are achieved.
[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of modified humic acid to hydrated ferrous sulfate in step S1 is 2.7-2.8:1;
[0014] The mass ratio of the modified chelating agent, citric acid, chelating solution, hydrated zinc sulfate, hydrated manganese sulfate and boric acid in step S2 is 0.016-0.018:0.008-0.009:1:0.008-0.009:0.0045-0.0055:0.003-0.004.
[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of urea, compound chelate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and potassium sulfate in step S3 is 0.05-0.052:1:0.032-0.034:0.024-0.026.
[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of the nutrient chelating mother liquor, nano-silica, and modified starch in step S4 is 1:0.008-0.012:0.028-0.032.
[0017] Preferably, the preparation steps of the modified humic acid are as follows:
[0018] Step A1: Add weathered coal powder to a 1.5% potassium hydroxide solution, heat to 60-80℃, stir for 80-100 min, centrifuge for 10-20 min at 3000-5000 rpm to obtain activated humic acid solution;
[0019] Step A2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, aminosulfonic acid and 37% formaldehyde solution are added to the activated humic acid solution, 10% sodium hydroxide solution is added, the pH is adjusted to 9.0-10.0, the temperature is raised to 80-90℃, and the reaction is stirred for 100-140 min. After the reaction is complete, the temperature is lowered to 40-60℃, 10% hydrochloric acid solution is added, the pH is adjusted to 2.0-3.0, the precipitate is allowed to stand, centrifuged and washed, and dried to obtain modified humic acid.
[0020] A sulfonic acid group is introduced into the humic acid molecule via an aminosulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation reaction. The sulfonic acid group is a strong acid group that can completely ionize to -SO3 in the pH range of 0-14. - This forms a permanent hydrophilic layer, thereby increasing the negative charge density on the molecular surface. The electrostatic repulsion prevents aggregation and precipitation. At the same time, the sulfonic acid group forms a bidentate chelate structure with the original carboxyl group, which can increase the number of chelation sites.
[0021] Preferably, the mass ratio of weathered coal powder to 1.5% potassium hydroxide solution in step A1 is 1:7.8-8.2;
[0022] The mass ratio of aminosulfonic acid, 37% formaldehyde solution and activated humic acid solution in step A2 is 0.026-0.028:0.0065-0.007:1.
[0023] Preferably, the modified chelating agent is prepared using the following steps:
[0024] Ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and sodium polyaspartate were added to deionized water, heated to 43-47℃, stirred for 30-40 min, and the catalyst carbodiimide hydrochloride was added. 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution was added to adjust the pH to 5.8-6.2, and the temperature was raised to 48-52℃. The reaction was stirred for 2-4 h at a speed of 200-300 rpm. After the reaction was completed, the temperature was lowered to 20-30℃, purified, freeze-dried, pulverized and sieved to obtain the modified chelating agent.
[0025] Sodium polyaspartate molecules contain densely packed carboxyl groups, which can react with Ca in hard water. 2+ / Mg 2+ The formation of a soluble complex consumes interfering ions and reduces interference from other ions on ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. Simultaneously, iron in ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid reacts with Ca... 2+ At that time, sodium polyaspartate-Ca 2+The complex preemptively binds to free Ca via entropy-driven substitution. 2+ This blocks its competition for the coordination site of ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, while simultaneously blocking the ortho-phenolic hydroxyl group -O of ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. - With carboxyl-COO - Forming a rigid octahedral coordination cavity, with Fe 3+ The charge / radius ratio is perfectly matched, thereby reducing Fe 3+ The degree of dissociation; furthermore, the long chain of sodium polyaspartate is branched to the outside of the benzene ring of ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and its hydrophobic carbon chain physically blocks Ca. 2+ It is located near the active site of ferric di-o-hydroxyphenylacetate in ethylenediamine.
[0026] Preferably, the mass ratio of ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, sodium polyaspartate, and catalyst is 1:1.4-1.6:0.18-0.22.
[0027] Preferably, the preparation steps of the modified starch are as follows:
[0028] Add cassava starch to deionized water, heat to 20-30℃, stir for 10-20 min, add 3% sodium hydroxide solution, adjust pH to 8-9, heat to 33-37℃, add octenyl succinic anhydride, react for 160-200 min, after the reaction is complete, add 10% hydrochloric acid solution, adjust pH to 6.3-6.7, cool and let stand, centrifuge and wash, dry and pulverize to obtain modified starch;
[0029] By directionally arranging the octenyl long chains, the octenyl hydrophobic chains can be anchored to the starch molecular backbone, forming a dense hydrophobic layer. This reduces the water molecule permeation rate and delays the dissolution of internal nutrients. Simultaneously, when the modified starch comes into contact with water, the hydrophilic region absorbs water and swells moderately, but the hydrophobic chain network restricts unlimited swelling, preventing the capsule wall from rupturing. Furthermore, the nanoscale capillaries formed by swelling bind nutrients through surface tension, causing them to be released slowly. In addition, the carboxyl groups ionize in alkaline soil, and the electrostatic repulsion expands the capillary pore size, accelerating the release; under acidic conditions, the pore size shrinks, achieving intelligent response.
[0030] Preferably, the mass ratio of cassava starch to octenyl succinic anhydride is 1:0.07-0.09.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0032] This invention provides a method for preparing humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer with enhanced efficiency through chelation of trace elements. The core process pathway of this invention is to improve the environmental adaptability of humic acid through molecular structure modification, enhance element stability by constructing a composite chelation system, optimize multi-level chelation sequence to prevent ion antagonism, and innovate physical barriers to achieve intelligent controlled release. Compared with existing technologies, this invention effectively breaks through the functional limitations of traditional fertilizers in complex agricultural ecosystems, significantly improves nutrient utilization efficiency and agronomic sustainability, and has broad application prospects in soil remediation, precision agriculture, and resource-saving planting systems.

[0111] Data Analysis:
[0112] As can be seen from Tables 1-4, the humic acid-containing water-soluble organic fertilizer with chelated trace element enhancement prepared by the present invention has better nutrient slow release, anti-ion antagonism ability and crop absorption efficiency.
[0113] In contrast, Comparative Example 1, due to the direct mixing of all raw materials, resulted in strong antagonism between iron and zinc ions in an alkaline environment. This was because Fe... 3+ At pH > 4, Zn preferentially hydrolyzes to form colloidal precipitates, blocking the chelation sites of humic acid; simultaneously... 2+ with Fe 3+ Competitive chelation ligands reduce the bioavailability of both, and the stepwise chelation process uses pH gradient control to directionally bind Fe to the carboxyl groups of humic acid. 3+ It forms a five-membered ring chelate, preventing precipitation and transformation at the source;
[0114] Comparative Example 2 showed that replacing modified humic acid with humic acid caused flocculation and sedimentation in soil with pH 8.2. This was because the carboxyl group of conventional humic acid had a sharp drop in ionization in an alkaline environment. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking led to an increase in particle size to the micrometer level, which encapsulated trace elements and caused them to precipitate together. Meanwhile, the modified humic acid, through sulfonic acid grafting, maintained a strong ionization state in the pH range of 0-14. The electrostatic repulsion caused the Zeta potential to drop from -15mV to -38mV, effectively inhibiting aggregation.
[0115] Comparative Example 3, due to the absence of nano-SiO2 and modified starch, achieved a leaching rate of 92% in 72 hours. This was because the fertilizer granules lacked a physical barrier, allowing water to directly penetrate and dissolve nutrients. Meanwhile, the octenyl long chains of the modified starch formed a dense hydrophobic layer, which bound nutrient molecules through the pressure generated by the nanocapillaries. Furthermore, the nano-SiO2 filled the pores, reducing the swelling rate and synergistically extending the release period to 240 hours.
[0116] Comparative Example 4 showed a 76% decrease in zinc chelation stability in hard water due to the replacement of the modified chelating agent with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). This was because EDTA reacts with Ca... 2+ The binding constant is much higher than that of Zn. 2+ Calcium ions competitively occupy coordination sites, and the carboxyl clusters of sodium polyaspartate in the modified chelating agent preferentially bind to Ca. 2+ It forms a soluble complex, blocking calcium interference through an entropy-driven effect; furthermore, the rigid octahedral cavity of ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid interacts with Zn. 2+ A perfect match, achieving specific chelation protection.
