AI Technical Summary
Existing slow-release urea coating materials are expensive and non-biodegradable, and the use of toxic cross-linking agents poses safety risks. Existing starch modification processes are complex and costly, making it difficult to achieve green production.
Carbamate starch was prepared by microwave-assisted method, and glutaraldehyde was used as a green crosslinking agent to react on the surface of urea particles under weakly acidic conditions to form a double-layer coating structure. The inner layer is a paraffin layer and the outer layer is a starch-based polymer layer. A stable and degradable coating is formed through chemical crosslinking.
This has enabled the development of low-cost, biodegradable, sustained-release urea products with excellent sustained-release performance and environmental friendliness, simplifying the production process and reducing energy consumption and costs.
