Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of saline-alkali land improvement technology, specifically to a green soil amendment for saline-alkali land improvement and carbon sequestration enhancement, and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Saline-alkali land, as an important reserve of arable land, is widely distributed globally. In my country, large amounts of saline-alkali soil exist in coastal, inland, and arid northwestern regions. These soils generally suffer from high pH levels, salt accumulation, low organic carbon content, soil compaction, and weak microbial activity, severely hindering agricultural production and ecological restoration. Simultaneously, with the expansion of marine industries and agricultural production, the generation of seafood waste such as oyster, scallop, and lobster shells, as well as agricultural solid waste such as straw and livestock manure, continues to increase. The large-scale accumulation of solid waste not only occupies land resources but also easily leads to environmental problems such as soil and water pollution. Furthermore, under the "dual carbon" goal, improving soil carbon sequestration capacity and achieving synergistic effects between solid waste resource utilization and ecological benefits has become an important research direction in the fields of agriculture and the environment, requiring the development of integrated technical solutions that combine saline-alkali land improvement, solid waste disposal, and carbon sequestration enhancement.

[0003] Existing saline-alkali land improvement technologies often suffer from limitations due to their singular function. Traditional chemical amendments focus only on pH adjustment or salt leaching, failing to simultaneously improve soil carbon pools and micro-ecological environments. While some organic amendments can increase soil organic matter, their solid waste utilization rate is low, and their carbon sequestration effect is limited. Furthermore, existing solid waste-based amendments generally suffer from poor component synergy, complex preparation processes, and high energy consumption. Improper control of microbial inoculation conditions can also lead to reduced activity, affecting the sustainability of the improvement effect. In addition, most technologies fail to form a closed-loop system of "solid waste resource utilization - saline-alkali land restoration - carbon sequestration value enhancement," thus failing to meet the demands of green agriculture for low-cost, multifunctional, and eco-friendly amendments. Therefore, developing a multi-component, synergistic, green process, and multi-benefit solid waste green amendment has significant practical significance and application value. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a green amendment for solid waste used for saline-alkali land improvement and carbon sequestration enhancement, comprising the following components:

[0005] The mixture contains 30-50 parts by weight of seafood waste, 20-40 parts by weight of carbonized agricultural solid waste, 10-20 parts by weight of biochar, 5-15 parts by weight of humic acid, and 1-5 parts by weight of compound microbial agent. The improver simultaneously achieves pH adjustment, salt leaching, and soil organic carbon sequestration in saline-alkali land, and the synergistic effect of each component enhances the soil carbon sink capacity.

[0006] Using seafood waste (oyster, scallop, and lobster shells, etc.) and agricultural solid waste carbonized materials as the main raw materials, this method achieves efficient disposal of both types of solid waste, reducing environmental pollution and resource waste.

[0020] Preferably, the heating rate of the activation furnace in step three is 10-15℃ / min, and after activation, it is naturally cooled to room temperature before subsequent processing.

[0021] Preferably, the ambient temperature during inoculation of the microbial agent in step four is controlled at 25-35℃, and the ambient humidity is maintained at 60%-70% during the stirring process.

[0022] Preferably, the drying in step five adopts a segmented drying method, first drying at 60℃ for 1-2 hours, then raising the temperature to 80℃ for 1-2 hours, and then sieving to remove powdery materials with a particle size of less than 1mm.
