Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fertilizer additive technology, specifically relating to a Cu-containing additive. Ⅱ Coordination polymers, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Urease is an enzyme widely found in bacteria, plants, and soil, catalyzing the decomposition of urea into ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). In agriculture, urease in the soil rapidly hydrolyzes urea into ammonium nitrogen, leading to nitrogen loss through volatilization and leaching, thus reducing nitrogen fertilizer utilization. Nitrifying bacteria are bacteria found in soil or water bodies that can convert ammonia nitrogen in the soil into nitrite and nitrate. The accumulation of these salts causes a decrease in soil pH, leading to soil acidification, damaging plant roots, and reducing nutrient absorption. This has negative impacts on human health and agriculture. Previous fertilizer additives were mostly single-function, had low inhibition rates, and were toxic, making the development of novel fertilizer additives crucial.
[0003] Coordination polymers (CPs) are a class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials formed by the self-assembly of a metal center (metal ion or metal cluster) and an organic ligand through coordination bonds. They possess diverse structures and tunable functions, demonstrating significant application potential in multiple fields. Copper can affect the enzyme activity of soil microorganisms, such as dehydrogenases and phosphatases, thereby interfering with their normal physiological metabolic processes. Simultaneously, copper can inhibit nitrification in soil, reducing the activity of nitrifying bacteria and thus affecting the soil nitrogen cycle. Therefore, by designing copper ions, ligand types, and synthesis conditions, efficient, structurally controllable, and stable copper-based coordination polymer inhibitors can be developed. Their application in fertilizers can effectively slow down the decomposition and transformation of urea nitrogen in the soil and prolong the retention time and fertilizer efficacy of urea in the soil.

Then wash with distilled water, filter and dry to obtain blue crystals, i.e., those containing Cu. Ⅱ The coordination polymer [Cu(1,4-chdc)(3-dpye)]·3H2O.

After stirring for 15 min, triphenyl phosphite (9 mL, 0.032 mol) was added, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 6 h.

[0031] Example 5 Cu Ⅱ Determination of urease and nitration activity inhibition by coordination polymers (soil culture) 1. Verification Experiment: Taking Example 1 as an example, a soil culture verification experiment was conducted at the Shenyang Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 500g of air-dried soil (passed through a 10-mesh sieve) and corresponding amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (urea), phosphorus fertilizer (superphosphate), potassium fertilizer (potassium chloride), and coordination polymer were accurately weighed. The amounts of urea, superphosphate, and potassium chloride added were 0.1857 g / kg soil, 0.05915 g / kg soil, and 0.06345 g / kg soil, respectively. The amount of coordination polymer added was 0.8% of the fertilizer amount. The nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, and coordination polymer were thoroughly shaken until evenly mixed. Then, the mixture was mixed with 5g of soil, then with 45g of soil, then with 150g of soil, then with 300g of soil, gradually increasing the mixture until the fertilizer and coordination polymer were fully mixed with the soil. The soil-fertilizer mixture was added to a culture container, and the weight A of the container and soil was recorded. Then, 100ml of water was evenly added to the soil surface, and the total mass B of the container, soil, and solution was recorded. The quality of the container and soil was measured before and after each soil sampling, and water was added according to the original amount when the soil moisture was insufficient. After each water addition, the container opening was sealed with Para film and placed in a 25℃ constant temperature incubator. Soil samples were taken on the 3rd, 7th, 15th and 30th days after incubation to measure soil urease and nitrification potential activities.
[0032] 2. Comparative experiment: The experimental conditions were the same as those in the verification experiment, except that the coordination polymer from Example 1 was not added to the fertilizer.
[0033] 3. Results The urease activity in the experimental soil was significantly lower than that in the control soil on days 3, 7, and 15, with decreases of 15.00%, 9.32%, and 3.69%, respectively. The most significant decreases were observed on days 3, 7, and 15, indicating that the coordination polymer has an inhibitory effect on urease activity. Figure 5 Meanwhile, the nitrification potential activity in the experimental soil was significantly lower than that in the control soil on days 7, 15, and 30, with decreases of 19.74%, 15.82%, and 1.58%, respectively. The most significant decreases were observed on days 7 and 15. Figure 6 This indicates that the coordination polymer has a dual-control effect of simultaneously inhibiting urease activity and nitration activity.
