Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fertilizer preparation, in particular to a microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material and its application in the preparation of high-alkalinity vermicompost. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vermicompost is a kind of fine granular material discharged by mixing soil in the process of adding livestock and poultry manure, straw and other organic waste in the vermicomposting bed, and using the life activities of earthworms to utilize and transform these organic matters. Vermicompost contains a high content of organic matter, and also contains a large amount of plant essential elements and trace elements, which can provide sufficient and easily available nutrients for plant growth. In addition, there are many large and small aggregate structures in vermicompost, which can make the soil loose and easy to cultivate, and improve the soil aeration and water and fertilizer retention capacity. Therefore, vermicompost as a kind of high-quality organic fertilizer has been widely used in agricultural production. In the process of transforming waste into organic matter by earthworms, various microbial activities will discharge acidic substances, so that the pH of the vermicompost tends to be neutral, in order to provide a soil environment conducive to plant growth. However, for acid soil, the yield-increasing effect of the slightly neutral vermicompost after application is not significant. Therefore, the preparation of high-alkalinity vermicompost is the key to improving the application effect of vermicompost in acid soil.

[0003] Alkaline tailings are derived from tailings produced in the mineral processing of metal mines (such as lead-zinc mines, copper mines, etc.), as well as waste produced by some chemical industries (such as calcium carbide production, chlor-alkali industry, etc.). Due to the presence of a large amount of alkaline substances such as hydroxides, carbonates, silicates, etc., alkaline tailings usually have high pH values and fine particle sizes. For example, calcium carbide slag, with an average particle size of 40-60 μm, mainly contains calcium hydroxide, and has a pH value of 12-14. Steel slag after fine crushing usually has a particle size of 30-45 μm, and mainly contains calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon dioxide, etc., and has a pH value of 11-13. A total of 1.7 billion tons of alkaline tailings by-products are produced worldwide each year. If not properly disposed of, they will cause a series of environmental problems, such as soil alkalization, affecting plant growth, and alkaline wastewater seeping into the ground or flowing into surface water bodies, which will change the chemical properties of the water body and cause damage to aquatic ecosystems. If these alkaline tailings can be applied to the vermicomposting process, it will help to increase the pH of the vermicompost and prepare high-alkalinity vermicompost. However, due to the adverse effects of these high-alkalinity materials on the life activities of earthworms, there is currently no technology to combine the two for development and utilization.

[0127] 3) Put the mixed slurry into a high-pressure digestion tank for hydrothermal reaction, and after completion, take out the product, filter, dry and ball mill to obtain high-alkalinity auxiliary material D5 with particle size ≤100 μm.

[0128] The pH, active SiO2, active K2O and active CaO contents of the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary materials in the preparation process of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are determined, the average particle size, particle size range and breakage rate of the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary materials are determined, the earthworm biomass change after obtaining the earthworm manure is determined, and the pH, organic matter content, total nutrient content and seed germination rate of the earthworm manure are determined. The results are as follows:

[0129] Table 1 Comparison of pH, active SiO2, active K2O and active CaO contents of different microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary materials

[0130]

[0131] The concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic soil is relatively high, and hydrogen ions will exchange with calcium, potassium and other cations adsorbed on the soil colloid, and the exchanged calcium, potassium and other cations will be lost with soil water movement under the condition of rainfall, etc. In addition, a large amount of aluminum ions and iron ions exist in acidic soil, which will compete with silicon ions for adsorption sites on the surface of soil colloid, and silicon ions have weak adsorption ability and are easily exchanged into soil solution and lost. Therefore, increasing the contents of active SiO2, K2O and CaO in the auxiliary material is extremely important for supplementing the lost calcium, potassium and silicon ions in acidic soil. Table 1 shows that although the pH of the high-alkalinity auxiliary materials obtained by the control example and the examples are all above 11, the active SiO2 content of the high-alkalinity auxiliary materials obtained by Examples 1-4 is all greater than 26%, the active K2O content is all greater than 0.74%, and the active CaO content is all greater than 14.5%, which are stable in nature and can effectively supplement the lost calcium, potassium and silicon ions in acidic soil. On the contrary, due to the improper ratio of tailings to quicklime or the improper concentration of KOH solution in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the contents of active SiO2, K2O and CaO are all significantly lower than those of the examples, which shows that their effects on supplementing calcium, potassium and silicon ions in acidic soil are weak.

[0132] Table 2 Average particle size, particle size range and breakage rate of microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary materials

[0133]

[0134] The purpose of microencapsulation is to reduce the stimulation of high-alkalinity excipients on earthworm gut, so that earthworms can eat smoothly. Therefore, the average particle size and particle size uniformity of microencapsulated high-alkalinity excipients determine whether they can be mixed with earthworm compost raw materials to reduce the possibility of selective feeding by earthworms. The breakage rate of microencapsulated high-alkalinity excipients affects the stability of the properties of the excipients during the entire earthworm composting process. In Table 2, Comparative Example 5 did not perform microencapsulation of high-alkalinity excipients, so there is no data. Except for Comparative Example 5, the average particle size of microencapsulated high-alkalinity excipients obtained from all comparative examples and examples is between 495-510 µm, but Comparative Examples 3 and 4 have a particle size difference of 100 µm due to improper sodium alginate concentration or high-alkalinity excipient: sodium alginate input ratio, which is significantly higher than that of the examples (the difference is less than 40 µm). In addition, the microcapsule breakage rate of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 reaches more than 20%, while the breakage rate of Examples 1-4 is less than 12%.

[0135] According to the results in Table 1 and Table 2, the microencapsulated high-alkalinity excipient preparation method (Examples 1-4) in the present application improves the content of active SiO2, K2O and CaO by alkali activation, and obtains uniform microcapsule size and low microcapsule breakage rate. In contrast, the content of active SiO2, K2O and CaO in Comparative Examples 1-2 is significantly lower than that in Examples, and the microcapsule breakage rate in Comparative Examples 3-4 is significantly higher than that in Examples, which cannot achieve good microencapsulation of high-alkalinity excipients.

[0139] ①Fresh cow dung is dried for 1-2 days, and corn straw, wheat straw or rice straw is crushed to 1-3 centimeters at the same time;

[0140] ②Mix the cow dung and the straw according to the weight percentage ratio of 60%-70%:30%-40%, adjust the water content to 60%-65%, and stack for 15-20 days until the color of the raw materials turns to dark brown, there is no obvious odor, and the straw fibers are soft and easily broken.

Mix microencapsulated high-alkalinity excipients 1-4 into the earthworm compost raw materials, respectively, inoculate Eisenia foetida ( Eisenia fetida), control the temperature and humidity of the environment, and carry out vermicomposting (the vermicomposting method is one-time feeding-whole harvesting, and the whole vermicomposting process needs to be completed within 30 days); wherein the amount of the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material mixed into the vermicomposting raw material is 30%.

[0142] c. After the vermicomposting is completed, the earthworms are separated in time, the earthworm manure is collected, and the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 1-4 is obtained.

[0143] Example 9

[0144] The preparation method of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 5 of the present example is basically the same as that of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 1, except that:

[0145] The amount of the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material 1 mixed into the vermicomposting raw material is 35%.

[0146] Comparative Examples 6-9

[0147] The preparation method of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure d1-d4 in Comparative Examples 6-9 is basically the same as that of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 1, except that:

[0149] Comparative Example 10

[0150] The preparation method of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure d5 in the present comparative example is basically the same as that of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 1, except that:

[0151] The microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material 1 is mixed into the vermicomposting raw material, and the amount of the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material 1 mixed into the vermicomposting raw material is 50%.

[0152] Comparative Example 11

[0153] The preparation method of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure d6 in the present comparative example is basically the same as that of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 1, except that:

[0155] Comparative Example 12

[0156] The preparation method of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure d7 in the present comparative example is basically the same as that of the high-alkalinity earthworm manure 1, except that:

[0157] The microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material 1 is mixed into the vermicomposting raw material, and the vermicomposting time is 50 days.

[0158] Comparative Example 13

[0159] The comparative example 8 is prepared by the same method as the preparation method of the high-alkalinity vermicompost 1, except that:

[0160] The microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material D5 is mixed into the vermicompost raw material.

[0161] Comparative example 14

[0162] The high-alkalinity vermicompost d9 is obtained by directly mixing the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material D5 into the material after the earthworms pass through the stomach according to the amount of 10% of the vermicompost raw material.

[0163] Comparative example 15

[0164] The high-alkalinity vermicompost d10 is obtained by directly mixing the microencapsulated high-alkalinity auxiliary material 1 into the material after the earthworms pass through the stomach according to the amount of 300% of the vermicompost raw material.

[0165] Table 3: Changes in earthworm biomass and pH, organic matter content, total nutrient content, and seed germination rate of vermicompost

[0166]

[0167] The purpose of the present application is to introduce alkaline tailings into vermicomposting to prepare high-alkalinity vermicompost. The feeding and excretion behavior of earthworms is the key to vermicomposting, and the change in earthworm biomass is an important indicator of whether the vermicomposting process is proceeding smoothly. Comparative examples 14 and 15 do not involve the vermicomposting process, so there is no corresponding data.

[0168] Table 3 shows that after the end of the vermicomposting process, the earthworm biomass of the examples increased by nearly 1 times compared to before vermicomposting, indicating that the vermicomposting process proceeded smoothly and good earthworm protein output was obtained after the end of the vermicomposting process. In addition, the pH of the vermicompost obtained in the examples is all above 8.5, which is significantly higher than that of traditional vermicompost (usually between 6.5-7.5), indicating that the vermicompost obtained in the examples has certain acid reduction function. The organic matter content of the vermicompost obtained in the examples is all above 36%, the total nutrient content is all above 4.7%, and the seed germination rate is all higher than 74%, meeting the requirements of the corresponding indicators in NY525.

[0169] In comparison, the earthworm biomass of Comparative Examples 10 and 13 is reduced, indicating that the material has an adverse effect on earthworms and causes the death of earthworms, and the earthworm compost fails to start, which is due to: Comparative Example 10 adds a too high amount of microencapsulated high-alkalinity adjuvant, so that the material is not suitable for earthworms to eat; Comparative Example 13 does not microencapsulate the high-alkalinity adjuvant, and the high-alkalinity characteristics of the adjuvant directly lead to the death of earthworms. Comparative Example 12 has a too long earthworm composting time, which leads to an adverse effect of the rupture of the microencapsulated high-alkalinity adjuvant on earthworms in the later period and causes the death of earthworms. The earthworm biomass of Comparative Examples 6, 7, 8 and 9 does not change significantly, indicating that the earthworm composting efficiency is not high, which limits the output of the earthworm product in the earthworm composting, and especially the seed germination index of the earthworm manure obtained in Comparative Examples 8 and 9 does not meet the requirements of NY525. Comparative Example 11 adds too low microencapsulated high-alkalinity adjuvant, although the earthworm composting can proceed smoothly and the organic matter, total nutrients and germination index of the earthworm manure are good, but the pH is only 7.7, which is not consistent with the purpose of preparing high-alkalinity earthworm manure according to the present application. Comparative Example 14 directly mixes the high-alkalinity adjuvant, and the adjuvant directly contacts with the seeds, leading to the germination index not meeting the requirements. Comparative Example 15 obtains a product with properties similar to those of the examples, but it does not go through the earthworm over-vent passage, but is a simple mixing process of traditional earthworm manure and microencapsulated high-alkalinity adjuvant.

[0170] According to the requirement of NY525 that the seed germination index is ≥70%, the earthworm manure products of Comparative Examples 6, 11, 15 and Examples 5-9, as well as traditional earthworm manure and high-alkalinity tailing powder are selected for potting experiments, and CK without any material is set for comparison. The soil is collected from Xianning, Hubei, with a pH value of 4.8, an organic matter content of 12.8 g / kg, and the contents of available nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium are 42.1 g / kg, 11.2 mg / kg and 112 mg / kg, respectively. Each material is mixed with the soil at a rate of 10%, and the soil water content is adjusted to 23%. Two seedlings of Shanghai green seedlings with 2-3 true leaves are transplanted, and the pots are placed in a greenhouse for 30 days before harvesting. After the Shanghai green is harvested, two seedlings of Shanghai green seedlings are transplanted again for the second crop planting to verify the long-term acid suppression effect of the product. The relevant indexes of plants and soil are measured when the two crops of Shanghai green are harvested. The results are as follows:

[0171] Table 4 Soil acidity and acid buffer capacity

[0172]

[0173] Table 4 shows that, compared with CK, the high-alkalinity vermicompost prepared in the examples can significantly increase the soil pH, reduce the exchangeable acid content, and enhance the acid-base buffering capacity of the soil in the first crop planting. Moreover, the high-alkalinity vermicompost has a long-acting acid suppression effect, and after the second crop planting, the soil does not show obvious acid return, and the soil pH decreases by no more than 0.5 pH value. In contrast, the high-alkalinity tailing powder directly applied in the first crop planting shows the strongest acid reduction capacity, but its effect is not sustainable, and after the second crop planting, the soil pH decreases by 1.3 pH values. The comparative example 15 performs poorly in long-acting acid suppression compared with the examples, and after the second crop planting, the soil pH decreases by 0.9 pH values. The traditional vermicompost and the vermicompost prepared in comparative example 11 do not show an improvement effect on soil acidity due to their own low pH. Comparative example 6 can maintain the soil pH within a small range of fluctuations, but the acid-base buffering capacity of the soil under its application is significantly lower than that of the examples.

[0174] Table 5 Soil nutrient status

[0175]

[0176] Table 5 shows that, compared with CK, after the application of the high-alkalinity vermicompost prepared in the examples, the soil nutrient content is significantly improved, which is due to the fact that the vermicompost itself contains rich plant-available nutrients, and also related to the fact that the application of the high-alkalinity vermicompost increases the soil pH value and activates the fixed nutrients in the soil. In addition, the high-alkalinity vermicompost prepared in the examples has good sustained nutrient supply capacity, and as the organic matter in the manure continues to mineralize, it continuously supplements the nutrients in the soil for crop absorption and utilization. In contrast, the high-alkalinity tailing powder has little ability to fertilize the soil after application, and its soil nutrient content is similar to that of CK. The traditional vermicompost and the vermicompost prepared in comparative example 11 can supplement part of the soil available nutrients, but due to their failure to significantly improve soil acidity and effectively activate the fixed nutrients in the soil, the soil available phosphorus content is significantly lower than that of the examples. The products prepared in comparative examples 6 and 15 have similar effects on soil nutrients as the examples.

[0177] Table 6 Shanghai green plant height, leaf number and biomass

[0178]

[0179] Table 6 shows that, compared with CK, the growth of Shanghai green is significantly improved after the application of high alkalinity vermicompost prepared in the examples, and the plant height, leaf number and biomass are significantly higher than those of other treatments in two crops. The promotion effect of high alkalinity vermicompost prepared in the examples on the growth of Shanghai green is sustainable, that is, even if the vermicompost is not applied before the second crop planting, the indicators of Shanghai green do not decrease significantly. In contrast, the vermicompost prepared in Comparative Example 11, the traditional vermicompost and the high alkalinity tailings powder cannot significantly promote the growth of Shanghai green compared with CK. Comparative Example 6 has a significantly lower promotion effect on Shanghai green in two crops than the examples. The vermicompost prepared in Comparative Example 15 has the same effect as the examples in the first crop, but the growth-related indicators of Shanghai green decrease significantly in the second crop, indicating that its effect is not sustainable.

[0180] In summary, the high alkalinity vermicompost prepared in the present application has the triple effects of precise acid reduction, long-acting acid suppression and soil fertilization. Compared with traditional vermicompost and high alkalinity mineral application, the product can significantly promote the growth of crops in acid soil and obtain higher yield. The comparison of comparative examples and examples shows that the preparation of high alkalinity vermicompost in the present application needs to follow the various technical points required by the present application, and any change in any technical point will result in the decline of the effect of the obtained vermicompost in precise acid reduction, long-acting acid suppression or sustainable promotion of crop growth.

[0181] The other parts not described in detail are prior art. Although the above examples have made a detailed description of the present application, it is only a part of the examples of the present application, not all examples, and people can also obtain other examples according to the present examples without creativity, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
