Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fertilizers, and more particularly to the formulation and preparation method for producing non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizers containing potassium humate. Background Technology
[0002] Medium-level elements (calcium, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, etc.) are essential nutrients for crop growth and development. Nationwide, 64% of arable land is deficient in calcium, 53% in magnesium, and approximately 40 million tons of silicon are deficient annually. The scarcity of medium-level elements in soil has become a key factor restricting crop yield and quality improvement. Meanwhile, the long-term irrational application of chemical fertilizers has led to increasingly prominent problems of soil acidification, compaction, and salinization. Soil acidification is particularly severe in most parts of southern China, as well as in Northeast China and the Jiaodong Peninsula, further reducing the efficiency of crop nutrient absorption.
[0003] Currently, medium-element fertilizers on the market are mainly divided into two categories: water-soluble and non-water-soluble. Water-soluble medium-element fertilizers are mainly composed of calcium magnesium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate, which are easily absorbed by crops. However, the acid ions they contain can exacerbate soil acidification, and they are easily lost in areas with abundant rainfall, resulting in fertilizer waste and environmental burden. Non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizers are mostly made from magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate, which are directly crushed and pulverized from ores. They have problems such as high impurity and heavy metal content, high specific gravity, and poor dispersibility. They require the addition of a large amount of useless additives, and the water content of the raw materials is as high as 50%-70%, which significantly increases packaging and transportation costs.
[0004] Potassium humate, a natural fermentation product, is characterized by its small molecular weight, high physiological activity, and strong chelating ability. It can improve soil structure, regulate pH, promote crop root growth and nutrient absorption, and is resistant to acids and alkalis, resists divalent ions, and can be compounded with various elements without flocculation. Currently, potassium humate is primarily used in water-soluble fertilizers, with limited research on its application in improving non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizers. Mature formulations and preparation processes have not yet been developed, failing to effectively address the core shortcomings of non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizers, such as low absorption efficiency and poor soil adaptability.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a fertilizer product that combines the advantages of biochemical potassium humate with the long-lasting properties of non-water-soluble medium-quantity elements, which has significant agricultural application value. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Purpose of the invention: To address the shortcomings of existing non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizers, such as poor dispersibility, low absorption efficiency, limited soil improvement effect, and high cost, this invention provides a non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizer containing biochemical potassium humate and its preparation method, achieving multiple goals of improving fertilizer utilization, improving soil structure, and reducing application costs.
[0007] Technical solution: To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, more specifically, a formula for producing a non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizer containing potassium humate, wherein the raw material composition, by weight, includes: 40-80 parts of non-water-soluble medium-element matrix, 0.1-5 parts of biochemical potassium humate, 1-5 parts of dispersant, 1-4 parts of functional synergist, and 5-15 parts of purity regulator.
[0008] Furthermore, the non-water-soluble medium-element matrix is a mixture of light calcium carbonate and light magnesium hydroxide, with a weight ratio of 1:0.8-1.2; wherein the light calcium carbonate has a purity of ≥99%, and is prepared by calcining calcite, limestone, or oyster shells at high temperature to produce calcium oxide, followed by reduction with carbon dioxide; the light magnesium hydroxide has a purity of ≥99%, and is prepared by reacting magnesium chloride, salt lake bittern, or brine with lime milk to form a precipitate, followed by purification. This matrix can neutralize soil acidity, slowly release calcium and magnesium elements, and prolong fertilizer effectiveness.
[0009] The biochemical potassium fulvate is a highly active BSFA type, produced by biological fermentation using sugarcane molasses concentrate or beet pulp as raw material. Its indicators meet the following requirements: biochemical fulvate content ≥45%, total potassium (K2O) ≥10%, organic matter ≥65%, moisture ≤1%, pH 5-7, appearance is brown powder, has no toxic side effects, and the preferred addition amount is 0.5-3 parts, which can balance the improvement effect and cost control.
[0010] The dispersing agent is a mixture of calcium lignosulfonate and magnesium lignosulfonate in a weight ratio of 1:0.5-1. It can improve the dispersion stability of fertilizer in water, prevent sedimentation, and is suitable for various application methods such as drip irrigation and fertigation.
[0011] The functional synergist is a mixture of sulfur and citric acid chelate salt in a weight ratio of 2-3:1; the sulfur purity is ≥99%, supplementing sulfur element; the citric acid chelate salt contains trace elements such as copper, manganese, iron, zinc, boron, and molybdenum, of which zinc is 3.5-6.5%, iron is 0.5-5.5%, manganese is 1.5-2.7%, copper is 0.5-2.0%, molybdenum is 0.1-0.4%, and boron is 2-5%, which can promote the absorption of medium-level elements and prevent crop physiological diseases.
[0012] The purity regulator is fumed silica with a purity of ≥99%. It is prepared by high-temperature hydrolysis and condensation of halosilanes in an oxyhydrogen flame, followed by rapid cooling, separation, and deacidification. It can reduce the overall specific gravity of fertilizer, improve powder flowability, and reduce agglomeration.
[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, and more specifically, a method for preparing a potassium humate-type non-water-soluble medium-element fertilizer, comprising the following steps: S1. Raw material pretreatment: Place light calcium carbonate and light magnesium hydroxide in a drying device and dry them at 105-110℃ for 2-3 hours, controlling the moisture content to ≤1%; sieve the biochemical potassium humate through an 80-mesh sieve to remove mechanical impurities, and set it aside for later use.
[0014] S2. Premixing: Weigh the pretreated non-water-soluble medium element matrix, dispersant, and purity regulator according to the weight proportions, put them into a twin-helix mixer, and mix them at a speed of 150-200 r / min at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to obtain the basic mixture.
[0015] S3. Enhanced Mixing: Add the functional enhancer to the basic mixture, heat to 40-50℃, and continue mixing for 10-15 minutes at a speed of 150-200r / min to ensure uniform dispersion of the chelated salt and obtain the enhanced mixture.
[0016] S4. Core Mixing: Evenly sprinkle the pretreated biochemical potassium fulvate into the enhanced mixture, cool to room temperature, and stir at a low speed of 50-80 r / min for 25-30 minutes to ensure that the biochemical potassium fulvate coats the surface of the matrix particles and avoids loss of active ingredients, thus obtaining a semi-finished product.
[0017] S5. Ultrafine grinding: The semi-finished product is fed into an ultrafine grinder and ground to a particle size of 4000-12500 mesh, with the powder moisture content controlled to ≤0.8%, to obtain the ground material.
[0018] S6. Screening and Packaging: The pulverized material is screened through a 120-mesh sieve. Unqualified particles are returned to the ultra-fine pulverizer for reprocessing. Qualified products are packaged in double-layer bags with inner plastic and outer woven fabric and stored in a cool, ventilated and dry place to obtain the finished product.
[0019] Beneficial effects: In this invention, the high chelating properties of biochemical potassium humate can activate non-water-soluble calcium and magnesium elements, reducing soil fixation. At the same time, its bioactive substances promote crop root development, thereby improving the absorption efficiency of medium-quantity elements. The functional synergist works synergistically with medium-quantity elements, while also supplementing micronutrients, resulting in more comprehensive nutrition. The light calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide in the formula can neutralize soil acidity and adjust pH value; the biochemical potassium humate can form a granular structure with soil particles, loosen the soil, improve water and fertilizer retention capacity, reduce soil heavy metal activity, alleviate salinization and compaction problems, and is suitable for various poor soils.
