Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil improvement technology, and in particular to a seedling soil conditioner and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Soil, as the core carrier of agricultural production and an important component of the ecosystem, directly determines crop growth and ecological stability through its structure and water retention capacity. Currently, most existing soils face prominent problems of low water retention and small porosity, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, facility agriculture planting areas, and long-term continuous cropping plots, where this problem is even more severe. Insufficient soil porosity leads to poor aeration and hindered root extension, affecting crop absorption of nutrients and oxygen. Low water retention allows water to seep out or evaporate quickly, exacerbating drought stress, causing water and fertilizer loss, reducing resource utilization efficiency, ultimately leading to decreased crop yield and quality, and even triggering a chain reaction of ecological problems such as soil compaction and degradation, thus hindering sustainable agricultural development.
[0003] To address the aforementioned soil problems, various soil improvement methods have emerged in existing technologies, such as applying organic fertilizers, returning straw to the field, and adding inert substrates like perlite or vermiculite. However, these methods have significant drawbacks: organic fertilizers have long improvement cycles and slow effects, requiring large-scale application to achieve noticeable results, increasing labor and transportation costs; improperly handled straw return can easily trigger pests and diseases, and the decomposition process can compete with crops for nutrients; while substrates like perlite and vermiculite can temporarily increase soil porosity, their water retention is poor, and their limited resources and high costs make large-scale application difficult. Furthermore, while some chemical soil conditioners are fast-acting, they can disrupt the balance of soil microbial communities, causing secondary pollution, which does not meet the needs of green agriculture. Therefore, developing a seedling soil conditioner that is highly efficient in water retention, loosens the soil, is low-cost, environmentally friendly, and widely applicable, to address the current technical pain points of low soil water retention and small porosity, has become a crucial issue urgently needing breakthroughs in the field of agricultural technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a seedling soil conditioner and its preparation method. By optimizing the specific components of the seedling soil conditioner, the present invention solves the technical problems of low soil water retention and small porosity in existing soils, significantly improves the physical properties of the soil, and promotes seedling growth.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a seedling soil conditioner, comprising modified licorice powder, trehalose, and corn cob treated with calcined caustic soda; The modified licorice powder is obtained by steam explosion of licorice residue after treatment with choline chloride and urea. The calcined alkali-treated corn cob is obtained by calcining corn cob after alkali treatment.
[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the seedling soil conditioner provided by this invention first uses choline chloride and urea to treat licorice residue, which destroys the lignocellulose in the licorice residue and increases hydrophilic groups. Its loose and porous structure can improve the water retention of the soil. The licorice residue treated with choline chloride and urea is then subjected to steam explosion treatment, which can further expand the internal pores, balance the water retention and porosity of the soil, and improve the physical properties of the soil.
[0007] Alkali can etch the lignocellulose in corn cobs, creating a large number of porous structures. At the same time, alkali can also convert some of the cellulose in corn cobs into hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, providing a basis for water adsorption. Subsequent calcination treatment can fix the porous structure and enhance the rigidity of the skeleton, preventing the porous structure from collapsing. Calcined alkali-treated corn cobs obtained after calcination can significantly improve the physical properties of soil, increase soil water retention and porosity.
[0008] During their research, the inventors discovered that adding trehalose to corn cob treatment with modified licorice powder and calcined caustic soda further improved the soil amendment's effectiveness and improved soil aggregate structure. The three components synergistically resolved the contradiction between water retention and aeration inherent in a single component, significantly enhancing soil water retention stability and porosity, comprehensively optimizing soil physical properties, and thus promoting seedling growth.
[0009] Preferably, the seedling soil conditioner comprises the following components in the indicated mass percentages: 15%~30% modified licorice powder, 5%~15% trehalose, and 55%~75% calcined caustic soda-treated corn cob.
[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified licorice powder includes the following steps: S1. Choline chloride and urea are melt-mixed to obtain a choline chloride-urea mixed solvent; S2. Add the licorice residue to the choline chloride-urea mixed solvent, keep it at 50~60℃, and separate the solid and liquid to obtain the first-processed licorice residue. S3. The licorice residue from the first treatment is subjected to steam explosion at 0.25~0.35MPa to obtain the modified licorice powder.
[0011] The modified licorice powder preparation method provided by the present invention has mild process conditions, simple steps, is easy to industrialize, and has controllable cost. The modified licorice powder obtained can significantly improve the water retention and porosity of soil.
[0012] It should be further noted that in S1, the specific operation of melting and mixing is no longer limited, and can be carried out in accordance with the conventional technical means mastered by those skilled in the art.
[0013] Preferably, in S1, the molar ratio of choline chloride to urea is 1:(1.8~2.2).
[0014] Preferably, in S2, the particle size of the licorice residue is 0.355~0.365mm.
[0015] It should be further noted that in S2, the licorice residue also needs to be pretreated by placing it in a blower dryer to dry it until its weight remains constant.
[0016] Preferably, in S2, the mass-to-volume ratio of the licorice residue and the choline chloride-urea mixed solvent is 1 g: (8~12) mL.
[0017] Preferably, in S2, the heat preservation time is 10~14h.
[0018] It should be further noted that in S2, the heat preservation process requires stirring, and the stirring rate can be 200~300 r / min.
[0019] It should be further noted that in S2, the licorice residue from the first treatment needs to be washed and dried before the steam explosion.
[0020] Preferably, in S3, the steam explosion time is 8-12 minutes.
[0021] For example, in S3, after the steam explosion, the exploded material needs to be washed with water, and then the washed solid components are dried.
[0022] Preferably, the method for preparing corn cobs treated with calcined caustic soda includes the following steps: Step 1: Soak the corn cobs in an alkaline solution, separate the solid and liquid, and obtain the first-processed corn cobs; Step 2: Heat the corn cob that has been treated once to 350~450℃ and calcine it to obtain the corn cob treated with calcined caustic soda.
[0023] The method for preparing corn cob treated with calcined caustic soda provided by this invention is simple, convenient, requires no complex equipment, and is easy to achieve industrial mass production. The alkali solution, as a modifier, is not only inexpensive but also effectively breaks down the dense structure of the corn cob. Furthermore, calcination at a specific temperature can solidify its porous framework while retaining hydrophilic groups. Through this process, the performance of the corn cob can be significantly improved.
[0024] Preferably, in step 1, the corn cob has a fineness of 20-60 mesh.
[0025] Preferably, in step 1, the alkaline solution includes a sodium hydroxide solution.
[0026] Preferably, in step 1, the ratio of corn cob to alkaline solution is 1g:(8~12)mL, and the mass concentration of alkaline solution is 5%~8%.
[0027] Preferably, in step 1, the soaking time is 2 to 4 hours.
[0028] For example, in step 1, after the solid-liquid separation, the filtered product needs to be washed with water until the washing liquid is neutral, and then dried to obtain a processed corn cob.
[0029] Preferably, in step 2, a programmed temperature rise method is used, with the temperature increased to 350-450°C at a rate of 5-8°C / min.
[0030] Preferably, in step 2, the calcination time is 2-3 hours.
