Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biochar modification and soil improvement technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a hydrogel-coated modified biochar-red soil composite. Background Technology

[0002] Red soils are generally characterized by strong weathering, a predominantly acidic pH, a compact and heavy soil structure, poor water and air permeability, low organic matter content, and a deficiency of available nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, severely restricting crop growth. Although nitrogen fertilizer application can increase crop yields in the short term, red soils have low nitrogen utilization efficiency, and long-term excessive application can easily lead to nitrate leaching, resulting in the accumulation of hydrogen ions in the soil and further exacerbating soil acidification. Traditional soil conditioners have many limitations in practical applications, such as acting only on the topsoil with limited impact on the subsoil, potentially causing soil compaction, destroying beneficial soil microbial communities, reducing soil organic carbon content, and causing imbalances in elements such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium. In addition, to maintain the improvement effect, frequent application of agents is often required, increasing usage costs and environmental risks.

[0003] Existing technologies do not focus on improving the "acidic, sticky, and infertile" characteristics of red soil (such as traditional soil conditioners and biochar), but neglect the pollution risks and health hazards they bring; or they only attempt to alleviate a single pollution problem (such as biochar pollution mitigation technologies), which cannot take into account the improvement effect or may have secondary negative impacts.

[0004] The invention patent with publication number CN107955614B discloses a southern red soil improver based on mining tailings and its application method. It uses rare earth mining tailings as the improver material to turn waste into treasure. It systematically and comprehensively improves red soil from the perspectives of sand content, reducing clay particles, optimizing texture, improving aeration, and increasing pH. However, there are risks such as secondary pollution from tailings, limited material sources, high cost, and uncertain ecological impact.

[0005] The invention patent application with publication number CN 120555066A discloses a red soil conditioner and its preparation method and application, which improves the pH, organic matter, permeability and water retention of red soil. However, it uses dry grinding, and the grinding times and time are long, resulting in problems such as high cost and dust pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The rice straw pretreatment steps are as follows: after washing the rice straw with deionized water, it is dried at 70℃ for 24 hours, and then the rice straw is crushed to a particle size of 2mm and sieved.

[0048] The pyrolysis step of the rice straw is as follows: the pretreated rice straw is placed in a muffle furnace, nitrogen is introduced, and it is burned under limited oxygen conditions at 10℃·min. -1 The temperature was increased to 450°C and held for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature to obtain biochar.

[0058] Comparative Example 1: A method for preparing a biochar-red soil composite includes the following steps: S1: Rice straw is pretreated and then pyrolyzed to obtain biochar; S2: Biochar is mixed with red soil and granulated using a granulator to obtain a biochar-red soil composite.

[0059] The rice straw pretreatment steps are as follows: after washing the rice straw with deionized water, it is dried at 70℃ for 24 hours, and then the rice straw is crushed to a particle size of 2mm and sieved.

[0060] The pyrolysis step of the rice straw is as follows: the pretreated rice straw is placed in a muffle furnace, nitrogen is introduced, and it is burned under limited oxygen conditions at 10℃·min. -1 The temperature was increased to 450°C and held for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature to obtain biochar.

[0061] The biochar to red soil mass ratio is 1:100, and the granulation process uses a vertical rotary granulator with a rotation speed of 200 rpm and a rotation time of 15 minutes.

[0062] Figure 1 , 2 SEM test results for modified and original biochar are presented. The SEM images of both materials show a porous structure. In the original biochar, the fine particles are loosely arranged, and the overall surface is relatively smooth. In contrast, the fine particles in the modified biochar are more adhered to the surface of larger particles, resulting in a rougher overall surface. These observations suggest that: 1) the hydrogel coating modification treatment did not significantly affect the pore structure of the biochar; 2) the fine particles in the modified biochar adhere to larger particles, reducing the risk of dust emissions; and 3) the modified biochar has a larger specific surface area, increasing the adhesion sites with soil particles, allowing for better adhesion and promoting aggregate formation.

[0063] Figure 3 , 4 The contact angle measurements are presented, showing that the contact angle of the original biochar is 104.6°, while that of the modified biochar is 78.0°. The contact angle reflects the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the material; a smaller contact angle indicates stronger hydrophilicity, and a larger contact angle indicates stronger hydrophobicity. The original biochar exhibits strong hydrophobicity, reducing the initial hydraulic conductivity of the soil and hindering water infiltration after application. Hydrogel coating can enhance the hydrophilicity of the biochar surface. Furthermore, in actual experiments, we found that due to its low density, strong hydrophobicity, and difficulty in soil water infiltration, some of the original biochar mixed with the soil floats and remains on the soil surface, contributing to biochar dust emissions. Hydrogel coating can enhance the hydrophilicity of the biochar surface. Appropriately enhancing the hydrophilicity of biochar surface can improve soil water infiltration and retention capacity, thereby reducing the risk of biochar dust emissions.

[0064] Dust emission tests were conducted using the modified biochar-red soil composites prepared in Examples 1-6 and the biochar-red soil composites prepared in Comparative Example 1 as samples.

[0065] The experiment was conducted as follows: 200g of sample was placed in a lead box, water was added until the sample reached saturation, and the box was placed in a forced-air drying oven at 40℃ for 24 hours. Afterward, the dried and compacted sample was passed through a 2 mm sieve. The forced-air drying and sieving process simulated natural wind and mechanical agitation in agricultural planting. This wet-dry cycle was repeated three times. The soil weight was measured, and the soil organic carbon content was determined using the potassium dichromate external heating method. Soil organic carbon content was used to characterize the content of primary and modified biochar. The results are shown in the table below, with the control group being red soil.

[0066] As shown in the table above, the total organic carbon content of the red soil composites in Examples 1-6 did not change significantly, while the total organic carbon content of the red soil composite in Comparative Example 1 decreased significantly. The modified biochar prepared in Examples 1-6 effectively reduced its own dust emissions.

[0067] Pot experiments were conducted using the modified biochar-red soil composite prepared in Example 6 and the biochar-red soil composite prepared in Comparative Example 1 as research subjects.

[0068] Ten seeds of pak choi were sown in each pot containing 3 kg of soil. When the seeds reached the one-leaf, one-heart stage, seedlings were thinned to three plants per pot. The pots were placed randomly in a well-ventilated greenhouse. During the crop growth period, no additional fertilizer was applied to any treatment except for water management. The pot experiment lasted 30 days. Every 5 days after planting, three plants from each treatment were randomly selected for destructive sampling to measure plant biomass and soil organic carbon content.

[0069] Analysis of total organic carbon content in the soil after 30 days of pot experiment, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the organic carbon content in the BC treatment decreased only slightly from day 15 to 20, with decreases of 4.7% and 5.3% from day 20 to 25 and day 25 to 30, respectively. The significant difference between the initial and post-experiment organic carbon content indicates that biochar was lost through dust emissions during the pot experiment, leading to a decrease in soil organic carbon content. In contrast, the organic carbon content in the CK and G-BC treatments remained stable, with no significant difference before and after the experiment. The significant differences between the BC and G-BC treatments over time further validate the dust emission problem inherent in biochar itself, and demonstrate that the modification of biochar using this invention can significantly reduce biochar dust emissions.

[0070] Figure 6 The changes in pak choi biomass over time are shown. It can be seen that, compared with the control group (CK), the BC and G-BC treatment groups increased pak choi biomass by 24.45% and 29.01%, respectively. Modified biochar has a significant promoting effect on the growth of pak choi.

[0071] Figure 7 , 8 The results, based on comparative experiments, provide a clear indication that the G-BC treatment significantly enhanced the soil's resistance to water erosion. For example... Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the BC treatment group exhibited numerous fine and extensive cracks on the soil surface, with a loose structure and significant particle detachment, indicating poor aggregation and susceptibility to erosion. In contrast, the G-BC treatment group had a smooth soil surface with very few cracks, intact aggregates, and a denser structure. This demonstrates that hydrogel paint modification effectively enhanced the bonding between biochar and soil particles, improved soil aggregate structure, and thus significantly improved the soil's resistance to water erosion and washout, significantly inhibiting soil structure damage and particle loss caused by water erosion.
