Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic fertilizer technology, specifically to an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional organic fertilizers largely rely on livestock and poultry manure composting, which suffers from high heavy metal residues, long fermentation cycles, and significant greenhouse gas emissions. Current technologies often utilize agricultural waste such as straw through simple mixed fermentation, but this is inefficient and prone to ammonia volatilization, resulting in high nitrogen loss rates. Some improved solutions add single microorganisms or biochar, but these do not address the synergistic problem of insufficient microbial activity and high environmental risk, failing to simultaneously achieve high fertilizer efficiency and environmental friendliness.
[0003] Patent CN108947600A discloses a method for preparing organic fertilizer, relating to the field of organic fertilizer production technology. This method produces organic fertilizer by composting organic waste materials mixed with microbial agents (including Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Trichoderma). The aforementioned microbial agents can effectively decompose organic waste materials through the synergistic effect between strains, improving the quality of organic fertilizer and facilitating crop absorption. However, while this method improves the utilization rate of organic waste to some extent, its nitrogen fixation capacity during fermentation is weak, leading to nutrient loss due to ammonia volatilization, and it fails to adequately consider soil improvement and water retention capacity enhancement.
[0004] Patent CN113461456A discloses an organic fertilizer and its preparation method, which includes pulverizing a fermentation substrate, inoculating it with fermentation bacteria for pre-fermentation, and then mixing it evenly with a fertilizer synergist through subsequent composting fermentation, followed by drying and granulation. The organic fertilizer prepared by this method can reduce nutrient loss and improve the fertilizer's water retention, thereby enhancing its effectiveness. However, the specific mechanism of action of the fertilizer synergist in this technical solution is not clearly explained, which may lead to unstable effects in practical applications; in addition, its preparation process requires sophisticated equipment, increasing production costs and limiting its scope of application.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an organic fertilizer solution that can balance waste treatment, microbial activity regulation, and environmental safety. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention constructs a multifunctional microbial carrier by phosphorylating and modifying bamboo-based biochar and encapsulating it with chitosan-sodium alginate hydrogel. This carrier not only effectively loads and protects nitrogen-fixing bacteria, but also optimizes material structure and regulates microbial activity during fermentation through synergistic effects with Bacillus subtilis and lactic acid bacteria. The final product achieves efficient conversion of agricultural waste, provides balanced nutrients, and immobilizes heavy metals, solving the problem of traditional organic fertilizers that struggle to balance microbial activity maintenance, nutrient efficiency, and environmental safety. Specifically, the technical solution of this invention includes the following: A method for preparing an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer, the method comprising the following steps: A mixture of crushed corn stalks and cottonseed cake is obtained by mixing them to produce an agricultural waste mixture. After Bacillus subtilis is activated for three generations, the bacterial cells are collected and freeze-dried to obtain Bacillus subtilis powder. Lactic acid bacteria were activated for three generations, and the bacterial cells were collected and freeze-dried to obtain lactic acid bacteria powder. A compound microbial agent is obtained by mixing Bacillus subtilis powder and lactic acid bacteria powder; A mixture of agricultural waste, compound microbial inoculants, functionalized biochar, and oyster shell powder is prepared. The mixture is fermented and dried in sequence to produce environmentally friendly organic fertilizer.
[0007] Furthermore, the corn stalks and cottonseed cake are crushed and mixed at a weight ratio of 2~4:1~2.5.
[0008] Furthermore, the activation of Bacillus subtilis involves inoculating Bacillus subtilis into LB liquid medium and culturing it at 30°C with shaking at 150 r / min for 24 h to complete one generation of activation. Repeating the above operation three times constitutes three generations of activation.
[0009] Furthermore, the activation of lactic acid bacteria involves inoculating lactic acid bacteria into MRS medium and incubating them at 37°C for 48 hours to complete one generation of activation. Repeating this process three times completes three generations of activation.
[0010] Furthermore, the weight ratio of Bacillus subtilis powder to lactic acid bacteria powder is 2.5~3.5:1.
[0011] Furthermore, the preparation method of the functionalized biochar includes the following steps: Bamboo is crushed and kept at 500℃ for 6 hours to obtain raw bamboo charcoal. Phosphorylated biochar was obtained by mixing and stirring raw bamboo char with 15 wt% phosphoric acid solution. Chitosan and 1 wt% acetic acid solution are mixed to obtain chitosan acetate solution, sodium alginate and deionized water are mixed to obtain sodium alginate aqueous solution, and chitosan acetate solution and sodium alginate aqueous solution are mixed to obtain coating solution; Phosphorylated biochar and coating solution were mixed and stirred, and then freeze-dried to obtain composite biochar. Functionalized biochar was prepared by mixing a suspension of Vignelandia diffusa and composite biochar, allowing it to stand, and then collecting the solid.
[0012] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the raw bamboo charcoal to the 15wt% phosphoric acid solution is 10:80~100.
[0013] Furthermore, the conditions for the stirring reaction of the raw bamboo charcoal and 15wt% phosphoric acid solution include a reaction temperature of 25°C and a reaction time of 20~24h.
[0014] Furthermore, the weight ratio of chitosan to 1 wt% acetic acid solution is 1.5~2:100.
[0015] Furthermore, the weight ratio of sodium alginate to deionized water is 1.5~2:100.
[0016] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the phosphorylated biochar to the coating solution is 10:80~100.
[0017] Furthermore, the mixing conditions for the phosphorylated biochar and the coating solution include a mixing temperature of 25°C and a mixing time of 30-60 min.
[0018] Furthermore, the freeze-drying conditions include pre-freezing at -80°C for 2 hours, followed by freeze-drying at -50°C for 24 hours.
[0019] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the Viñelandia diffusa suspension to the composite biochar is 1~1.5:1.
[0020] Furthermore, the conditions for settling include a settling temperature of 4°C and a settling time of 12-16 hours.
[0021] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the agricultural waste mixture, compound microbial agent, functionalized biochar, and oyster shell powder is 60~70:3~5:3~5:1~2.
[0022] Furthermore, the mixing conditions for the agricultural waste mixture, compound microbial agent, functionalized biochar and oyster shell powder include a mixing speed of 25-35 r / min and a mixing time of 15-35 min.
[0023] Furthermore, the fermentation conditions include a fermentation temperature of 45-50°C, an oxygen concentration of 3%-5%, a fermentation pH of 6.5-7.0, and a fermentation time of 20-25 days.
[0024] Furthermore, the drying process includes a drying temperature of 40~45℃, a vacuum degree of ≤5kPa, and a drying time of 8~12h.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) In this invention, bamboo pyrolysis forms original bamboo charcoal with a stable aromatic skeleton and well-developed pores. The pore structure is further expanded by the etching and dehydration effect of phosphoric acid, and oxygen-containing / phosphorus functional groups are grafted onto the surface to improve the specific surface area and chemical reactivity of the biochar. Chitosan and sodium alginate form a polyelectrolyte coating layer through electrostatic cross-linking. After freeze-drying, this hydrogel network provides a stable shelter space for microorganisms. Finally, the functionalized biochar is constructed by impregnating the Viña vinifera onto the above-mentioned multifunctional carrier.
[0026] (2) In this invention, the functional components produced a synergistic effect in the organic fertilizer system. Phosphorylated biochar transformed from an inert adsorbent into an active platform, possessing both nutrient retention and heavy metal passivation capabilities. The chitosan-sodium alginate coating protects the microbial cells when dry and provides an ideal environment for microbial revival when exposed to water. The nitrogen-fixing bacteria further endowed them with the life activity of continuously replenishing nitrogen sources. In the fermentation system, the functionalized biochar, as a physical framework, improved the aeration of the material. Its surface properties can adsorb metabolites, buffer pH fluctuations, and form a highly efficient collaboration with Bacillus subtilis (responsible for decomposing macromolecular organic matter) and lactic acid bacteria (responsible for regulating the environment and inhibiting miscellaneous bacteria). The nitrogen-fixing bacteria then activated their nitrogen-fixing function in the later stages and after application to the soil, effectively compensating for nitrogen loss.
[0027] (3) The functionalized biochar in this invention successfully solves the core bottleneck of the single function of carrier materials in the prior art. It is no longer a simple material with only physical adsorption function, but a comprehensive platform that integrates "long-term survival protection of microorganisms, slow and controlled release of nutrients, and in-situ passivation of heavy metals", which can effectively solve the problem that traditional organic fertilizers cannot simultaneously maintain microbial activity, nutrient efficiency and environmental safety.

[0054] Performance testing The various properties of the environmentally friendly organic fertilizers prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested using the following methods: Organic matter content: The content of organic matter in fertilizers was determined by the potassium dichromate method in order to assess the efficiency of waste resource conversion and its potential contribution to soil fertility. Total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content: Total nitrogen was determined by the Kjeldahl method, total phosphorus by the molybdenum-antimony colorimetric method, and total potassium by the flame photometry method; the content of core nutrients in fertilizers was quantified to evaluate their direct fertilizer effect and nutrient balance. Microbial activity: The total number of Bacillus subtilis and lactic acid bacteria (CFU / g) in the environmentally friendly organic fertilizer was measured using the plate count method. Heavy metal safety: Atomic absorption spectrometry is used to measure the content of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) to analyze the content of toxic heavy metals in fertilizers, so as to ensure that the products meet environmental safety standards and prevent soil pollution; Seed germination index (GI): Using the water extraction method and cucumber seeds as an indicator, the germination index GI = (seed germination rate × root length) / control group × 100% was calculated to assess the degree of fertilizer decomposition and plant toxicity, and to ensure its application safety. Plant growth experiment: A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using tomatoes as indicator plants to measure plant height and biomass (fresh weight). The soil was sandy loam, and the organic fertilizer application rate was 2 g / kg of soil. The culture period was 30 days. The actual promoting effect of fertilizer on crop growth was verified under controlled conditions, and its agricultural value was comprehensively evaluated. The test results are shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3.

Among them, Example 5 performed the best, with high organic matter content, high total nutrient content, strong microbial activity, low heavy metal content, and good seed germination index and plant growth indicators. However, the performance of the environmentally friendly organic fertilizers prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5 was reduced to varying degrees.
[0056] (2) The reason for the performance reduction of Comparative Example 1 may be the use of sawdust instead of bamboo as a raw material for biochar. There are significant differences in the chemical composition and physical structure of sawdust and bamboo. Bamboo has long fibers, dense structure and high silicon content. The biochar formed after pyrolysis usually has a more developed pore structure and higher mechanical strength. In contrast, the structure of sawdust biochar is relatively loose, and its specific surface area and porosity may be lower than that of bamboo charcoal. This leads to a decrease in its ability to act as a microbial carrier and nutrient adsorbent, which ultimately affects the stability of organic matter in fertilizer and the slow release effect of nutrients.
[0057] (3) The reason for the performance reduction in Comparative Example 2 may be the use of sulfuric acid instead of phosphoric acid for biochar activation. Sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizing acid, which may cause excessive corrosion and oxidation of the carbon skeleton of biochar during the treatment process, leading to the collapse or blockage of the pore structure; sulfuric acid will introduce sulfur elements in the form of sulfonic acid groups, etc. These sulfur-containing groups may have an inhibitory or toxic effect on the subsequently loaded Venetian nitric oxide bacteria and other microorganisms, significantly reducing the activity of microorganisms, thereby affecting the efficiency of the entire fermentation process and the final quality of the fertilizer.
[0058] (4) The reason for the performance degradation of Comparative Example 3 may be the use of a gelatin-gum arabic coating system instead of a chitosan-sodium alginate system. Chitosan-sodium alginate can form a high-strength, stable polyelectrolyte composite membrane through electrostatic interaction, which has good biocompatibility and controllable degradation. However, the gelatin-gum arabic composite generally has weaker film-forming properties and mechanical strength, and is more prone to breakage during freeze-drying and subsequent processing. It cannot provide effective protection for the encapsulated microorganisms, resulting in the death of a large number of cells during preparation and storage, thus rendering the "microbial warehouse" function of functionalized biochar ineffective.
[0059] (5) The reason for the reduced performance of Comparative Example 4 may be the use of rhizobia instead of Vignaland's nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Rhizobia are obligate symbiotic nitrogen-fixing microorganisms that live in symbiosis with legumes. Their nitrogen-fixing activity is highly dependent on the root nodule structure formed with specific legumes. In the corn stalk and cottonseed cake fermentation system of this invention, rhizobia cannot establish a symbiotic relationship, so their nitrogen-fixing ability cannot be activated and is almost ineffective. Vignaland's nitrogen-fixing bacteria, on the other hand, are free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria that can independently fix nitrogen in soil and organic substrates, and their applicability is far wider than that of rhizobia. This substitution results in the nitrogen content in the fertilizer mainly depending on the raw materials themselves, and the additional nitrogen gain brought by nitrogen fixation disappears.
[0060] (6) The reason for the performance reduction of Comparative Example 5 may be the use of a single Bacillus subtilis inoculant instead of a compound microbial inoculant. Without the synergistic effect of lactic acid bacteria, the pH regulation ability of the fermentation system is weakened; Bacillus subtilis produces organic acids when rapidly decomposing organic matter, causing the pH of the system to drop rapidly; without lactic acid bacteria or other pH regulation mechanisms (it is difficult to completely and accurately control by external dripping alone), the overly acidic environment will in turn inhibit the activity of Bacillus subtilis itself, and even promote the growth of putrefactive bacteria, resulting in incomplete fermentation, nutrient loss and the production of unpleasant odors, ultimately reducing the quality and safety of the fertilizer.
[0061] (7) The bamboo-based biochar activated by phosphoric acid in this invention has a huge specific surface area and rich pore structure, which can not only adsorb nutrients and water, but also provide an ideal attachment point for microorganisms; the subsequent chitosan-sodium alginate coating forms microcapsules, which effectively protects the activity of microorganisms during freeze drying and fertilizer storage, so that they can slowly release and play a role after being applied to the soil; the biochar itself can regulate soil pH, and its porous structure can adsorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, reduce loss, and achieve a slow release effect; the phosphorylation treatment further introduces phosphorus-containing functional groups, which enhances its binding ability with nutrient molecules; Bacillus spp. is good at secreting a variety of hydrolytic enzymes, which can quickly decompose the macromolecular organic matter in straw and cottonseed cake; lactic acid bacteria can effectively regulate the pH of the fermentation system by producing acid, inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, and create a suitable environment for other beneficial bacteria; by monitoring oxygen and pH and intervening during the fermentation process, the entire fermentation process is always in a highly efficient and safe aerobic-facultative anaerobic fermentation state, avoiding the odor and harmful substances produced in an anaerobic environment.
