Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water-soluble fertilizer processing, in particular to a method and a preparation device for preparing amino acid water-soluble fertilizer by utilizing dead animals. Background Art

[0002] Amino acids are the smallest organic structure of proteins in all organisms. Multiple amino acid molecules are connected to form polypeptides, and multiple polypeptide chains are folded in space to form proteins. Therefore, the production of amino acids from dead animals has become a new research hotspot. At present, the main methods used to produce amino acids from dead animals are acid hydrolysis, alkaline hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. However, the amino acids obtained by acid hydrolysis have low content and strong odor; the amino acids produced by alkaline hydrolysis undergo optical isomerization, and the products are D-type amino acids, which are difficult to decompose and difficult to be absorbed and utilized, and have low nutritional value; enzymatic hydrolysis method has incomplete hydrolysis, many intermediate products, and a long operation cycle.

[0003] Patent CN115626847A proposes a process for rapidly acid-hydrolyzing dead animals to produce water-soluble amino acid fertilizer. The core of this process is the use of chemical acids (such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid) to rapidly hydrolyze dead animals, breaking down proteins into amino acids. This process is characterized by its rapid acid hydrolysis, enabling the protein to be broken down in a relatively short period of time.

[0004] However, this method is used to process water-soluble fertilizers and has the following problems:

[0005] 1. The acid hydrolysis process requires a large amount of chemical acid and high temperature conditions, which produces a large amount of wastewater and waste gas, which contain heavy metals and organic pollutants. It is difficult to treat and easily causes secondary pollution;

[0006] 2. Although this method can quickly acidify dead animals, it fails to fully tap the resource value of dead animals. The extraction rate and purity of amino acids are limited, and they cannot be converted into high-value-added water-soluble fertilizers. Summary of the Invention
