Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of controlled-release fertilizer production technology, specifically to a coating material with dynamic temperature-sensitive modification to regulate pore structure evolution and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical fertilizers play a vital role in improving crop yield and quality in agricultural production. However, their irrational use can easily lead to nutrient waste and environmental pollution. The emergence of controlled-release fertilizers has effectively solved this problem. Bio-based controlled-release fertilizers have advantages such as low cost, wide availability of raw materials, and minimal environmental impact, making them a promising direction for industry development. However, bio-based controlled-release fertilizers still face the following challenges, hindering their large-scale application: (1) The nutrient release curve is simple and not intelligent, and cannot be matched with the crop's fertilizer requirement curve, resulting in low nutrient utilization.

[0003] (2) During the solidification process, the bio-based coating solution is prone to uneven film formation and many cracks after film formation, which affects the controlled release efficiency of nutrients.

[0004] (3) The bio-based coating solution is viscous. During the solidification process, the bubbles generated by chemical reactions and physical stirring are difficult to be discharged, resulting in larger and more numerous pores in the membrane shell, causing rapid loss of nutrients.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues with bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizers, patent CN117362107A discloses a coated controlled-release fertilizer containing a temperature-sensitive block copolymer switch and its preparation method. This method involves copolymerizing three block copolymers to form a temperature-sensitive block copolymer, which is then combined with a basic membrane material to create a temperature-sensitive coated controlled-release fertilizer. The principle is that the temperature-sensitive material reacts and crosslinks into the membrane material, causing it to expand and contract with temperature changes, thus controlling nutrient release. This modification enhances the intelligence of nutrient release and improves nutrient utilization. However, the phase transition temperature of this modified material is limited, severely restricting the product's application range. The relevant patent CN116355344A discloses a temperature-responsive smart controlled-release fertilizer and its preparation method. By reacting dynamic covalent bonds, a temperature-sensitive polymer, and a basic membrane material, a temperature-responsive membrane material is prepared. The principle is that through the synergistic effect of dynamic bonds and temperature-sensitive polymer, the temperature changes in the soil are intelligently identified, and the opening and closing of the membrane pores are controlled. This modification can intelligently respond to changes in the root environment temperature, realize autonomous switching, control the release of nutrients, and improve nutrient utilization. However, the addition of dynamic covalent bonds further increases the viscosity of the coating liquid, which leads to more air bubbles and larger pores in the membrane shell, reducing nutrient utilization. The relevant patent CN116042000A discloses a coated controlled-release fertilizer that uses visible light to solidify aquatic waste and its preparation method. A novel bio-based controlled-release fertilizer is prepared by a photocuring process. The principle is to add a photoinitiator to the coating liquid and achieve solidification under ultraviolet light. This modification effectively solves the problems of viscosity and unstable nutrient release of bio-based coating liquid. However, the nutrient release curve of this product is singular and cannot match the nutrient requirement curve of crops. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a coating material with dynamic temperature-sensitive modification to regulate pore structure evolution and its preparation method.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a coating material for dynamically temperature-sensitive modification to regulate pore structure evolution, which is prepared from a bio-based stock solution, a homogenizing agent and a dynamically temperature-sensitive modifier in a weight ratio of (8-15):(0.5-1):(2-3). The bio-based stock solution is obtained by reacting component A and component B at a mass ratio of 20:(2-4), wherein component A is polycaprolactone diol; and component B is one or more of succinic acid and pimelic acid. The uniformity-enhancing agent is obtained by blending microcrystalline wax and soybean oil polyol; The dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier is obtained by reacting the first component and the second component in a molar ratio of 1:(3-6). The first component is one or more of dipentyl disulfide, p-toluene disulfide, and α-benzoxime; the second component is one or more of trimethylhexane diisocyanate, 2,4-difluorophenyl isocyanate, and 3,3-diphenylpropyl isocyanate.

[0008] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the bio-based stock solution is prepared by the following method: Mix components A and B, add tetrabutyl titanate and concentrated sulfuric acid, and stir the mixture at 150-170℃ for 7-8 hours under nitrogen protection.

[0009] Preferably, the weight ratio of tetrabutyl titanate to component A is (0.1-0.3):20; the ratio of concentrated sulfuric acid to component A is (3-5) ml:20g.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring speed is 250-350 rap / min.

[0011] Tetrabutyl titanate and concentrated sulfuric acid act together as catalysts to induce a condensation polymerization reaction between components A and B, generating a biodegradable polyester polyol.

[0012] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the homogenizing and synergistic agent is prepared by the following method: The microcrystalline wax was dissolved by increasing the temperature, and the soybean oil polyol was dried in a vacuum environment. Then, the dissolved microcrystalline wax and the dried soybean oil polyol were ultrasonically mixed to prepare a uniform enhancer.

[0013] Preferably, the ratio of the added microcrystalline wax to soybean oil polyol is 1g:(20-30)ml.

[0014] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier is prepared by the following method: Add the first component to acetone and sonicate it to distribute it evenly in the solution. Then, under nitrogen conditions, slowly add the second component to the first component and stir continuously for 5-15 minutes.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned dynamically temperature-sensitive modified coating material for regulating pore structure evolution, comprising the following steps: The bio-based stock solution and the uniformizing and enhancing agent were mixed in an organic solvent and ultrasonically stirred to promote the evaporation of the organic solvent, thus obtaining an intermediate. A dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier was added to the intermediate, followed by an organic solvent. The mixture was stirred rapidly to increase its fluidity. Then, dibutyltin dilaurate was added, and the mixture was stirred continuously under nitrogen gas. When the mixture became viscous, the stirring was stopped, and the air bubbles were removed to prepare a coating material with dynamic temperature-sensitive modification to regulate the evolution of pore structure.

[0016] Preferably, the solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide or acetone.

[0017] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned dynamically temperature-sensitive modified coating material for regulating pore structure evolution in the preparation of controlled-release fertilizers.

[0018] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizer, comprising a fertilizer core and a coating material sprayed on the surface of the fertilizer core to regulate the evolution of its pore structure; wherein the coating material to regulate the evolution of its pore structure accounts for 1-5% of the weight of the fertilizer core.

[0019] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizer, comprising the following steps: The coating material, which is dynamically temperature-sensitive and modifies the pore structure evolution, is uniformly sprayed onto the surface of the fertilizer core at a pressure of 0.25-0.45 MPa and cured at 55-65°C for 10-15 minutes.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) By adding a uniform and synergistic agent component to the coating material, the present invention effectively reduces the viscosity of the bio-based coating solution, improves the quality of the membrane shell, and ensures the stability of nutrient release.

[0021] (2) The coated controlled-release fertilizer prepared by this invention can respond to temperature changes. As the temperature changes, the molecular motion rate in the polyurethane network changes accordingly, which in turn changes the crosslinking density and porosity of the membrane structure, ultimately affecting the nutrient release rate. When the temperature increases, the molecular motion rate increases, the crosslinking density decreases, and the nutrient release rate increases, truly achieving intelligent controlled release. For crops, when the temperature is very low during the overwintering period, the crop's demand for nutrients is very small. At this time, even if nutrients are released, the crop cannot absorb them, which leads to incomplete nutrient utilization and nutrient waste. The coated controlled-release fertilizer of this invention can maintain a low nutrient release rate during the overwintering period. When the temperature rises in the second year, nutrients continue to be released, improving nutrient utilization, effectively alleviating the problem of nutrient loss, and preventing unused nutrients from entering the soil, groundwater, etc., and causing environmental pollution.

[0029] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0030] As mentioned earlier, although bio-based coated fertilizers have advantages such as low cost, wide availability, and low environmental pollution, bio-based controlled-release fertilizers have poor controlled-release quality, a single nutrient release curve, and cannot regulate nutrient release to match crop needs. In addition, the viscosity of bio-based coating liquid is relatively high, which leads to more air bubbles and larger gaps in the membrane shell, affecting nutrient utilization.

[0031] In view of this, the present invention has developed a coating material that dynamically modifies and regulates the evolution of pore structure by thermosensitive modification. By crosslinking thermosensitive dynamic covalent bonds into a polyurethane network, the bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizer is endowed with temperature-responsive characteristics. As the temperature changes, the molecular motion rate in the polyurethane network changes accordingly, thereby changing the crosslinking density and porosity of the membrane structure, and ultimately affecting the nutrient release rate. When the temperature increases, the molecular motion rate increases, the crosslinking density decreases, and the nutrient release rate increases, truly achieving intelligent controlled release.

[0032] The dynamically temperature-sensitive modified coating material for regulating pore structure evolution of the present invention is prepared by reacting a dynamically temperature-sensitive modifier, a uniforming agent, and a bio-based stock solution. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing the dynamically temperature-sensitive modified coating material for regulating pore structure evolution is provided as follows: The bio-based stock solution and the homogenizing and enhancing agent were mixed in an organic solvent and placed in an ultrasonic stirrer for 20 minutes to promote the evaporation of the organic solvent and generate an intermediate.

[0033] The dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier was added to the intermediate, followed by the addition of an organic solvent. The mixture was stirred rapidly to increase its fluidity. Then, dibutyltin dilaurate was added, and the mixture was stirred continuously under nitrogen gas. When the mixture became viscous, the stirring was stopped. A vacuum drying oven was used to remove air bubbles, resulting in a coating material with dynamically temperature-sensitive modification to regulate the evolution of the pore structure.

[0034] The coating material of the present invention has characteristics such as low porosity, uniform structure, and temperature response. The working mechanism of the coating material of the present invention is as follows: The bio-based stock solution and the leveling agent are mixed in an organic solvent. The dissolved microcrystalline wax has excellent smoothness and reduces the viscosity of the bio-based stock solution. The "soybean oil polyol" in the leveling agent can work synergistically with the dissolved microcrystalline wax to further reduce the viscosity.

[0035] The first component of the dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier, upon the addition of acetone, transforms the dynamic covalent bonds into a free state, allowing them to be uniformly distributed in the solution. The addition of the second component effectively connects the dynamic covalent bonds at the reaction sites on both sides. With the addition of an intermediate, a temperature-sensitive cross-linked network is synthesized. The temperature-sensitive dynamic covalent bonds are uniformly cross-linked within the network, enhancing its temperature sensitivity. Furthermore, the flowing microcrystalline wax, during the curing process, blocks large pores, significantly reducing the porosity and number of air bubbles in the bio-based membrane shell after curing. The microcrystalline wax in the uniformizing and enhancing agent synergistically improves the controlled nutrient release effect of the prepared coating material in conjunction with the first component of the dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier.

[0036] In summary, to address the problems of inaccurate nutrient release and mismatch between nutrient release and crop nutrient requirements that arise during the large-scale application of existing bio-based coated fertilizers, this invention innovatively adds a dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier and a uniformity-enhancing agent to the coating material. The added uniformity-enhancing agent not only significantly reduces the number of pores and bubbles in the bio-based membrane shell, but also increases the smoothness and hydrophobicity of the membrane shell surface; the dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier provides temperature-sensitive covalent bonds (dynamic disulfide bonds and oxime ester bonds). During the synthesis of the temperature-sensitive crosslinking network, the uniformity synergist and the dynamic temperature-sensitive modifier work synergistically. The uniformity synergist penetrates into the network structure, blocking pores and bubbles, and improving the uniformity of the bio-based membrane shell. The dynamic bonds that crosslink into the network endow the bio-based coated controlled-release fertilizer with temperature-responsive characteristics. As the temperature changes, the molecular motion rate in the network changes accordingly, thereby changing the crosslinking density and porosity of the membrane structure, and ultimately affecting the nutrient release rate. When the temperature increases, the molecular motion rate increases, the crosslinking density decreases, and the nutrient release rate increases, thus achieving intelligent controlled release.

[0037] The optimal temperature range for most crops is 15-35℃. Below 15℃, nutrient absorption by crops decreases. Within the suitable temperature range for crop growth, higher temperatures result in more vigorous growth and higher nutrient requirements. This invention has a temperature response range of 0-50℃. By crosslinking temperature-sensitive dynamic covalent bonds into a polyurethane network, the molecular motion rate within the polyurethane network changes with temperature, thereby altering the crosslinking density and porosity of the membrane structure, ultimately affecting the nutrient release rate. When the temperature increases, the molecular motion rate increases, the crosslinking density decreases, and the nutrient release rate increases, achieving intelligent controlled nutrient release that changes with temperature.
