Description

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural solid waste resource utilization and soil improvement technology, specifically relating to a coffee shell solid-liquid dual-effect soil conditioner, particularly a combination product of coffee shell biochar solid conditioner and coffee shell liquid biological conditioner, its preparation method, and a method for the complete resource utilization and zero-waste utilization of coffee shells. This invention is applicable to the improvement of acidic red soil, the enhancement of soil organic matter, carbon sequestration, and the improvement of tea and coffee crop quality and yield, belonging to the field of green agricultural technology.

[0002] The coffee industry is a pillar industry in Yunnan Province, my country. Coffee processing generates a large amount of coffee husk waste, and traditional methods of dumping and incineration result in the waste of biomass resources and environmental pollution. The main tea and coffee producing areas in Yunnan are widely covered by acidic red soil. Long-term improper cultivation has led to soil acidification, compaction, low organic matter content, and poor microbial activity, seriously affecting the yield and quality of cash crops such as tea and coffee.

[0003] Existing soil amendment products are mostly single solid biochar or single liquid bio-fertilizer, with limited functions, failing to simultaneously address both long-term soil structure restoration and rapid nutrient replenishment. Current coffee husk resource utilization processes suffer from low raw material utilization rates and the inability to recycle liquid residues, making it difficult to achieve zero-waste utilization of all components. Therefore, developing coffee husk-based soil amendments that feature solid-liquid synergy, simple processes, high resource utilization rates, and compatibility with acidic soils is a pressing technical challenge in this field.

[0004] In response to the problems of low resource utilization rate and significant environmental pollution caused by coffee shell waste, and the limited functionality, poor improvement effect, and inability to achieve synergistic effects of long-term remediation and rapid activation of existing soil conditioners, this invention provides a coffee shell solid-liquid dual-effect soil conditioner, its preparation method, and a method for full resource utilization. This method achieves 100% waste-free utilization of all components of coffee shells, effectively improves acidic red soil, enhances soil fertility, and improves the quality of tea and coffee crops.

[0005] This invention discloses a coffee shell solid-liquid dual-effect soil conditioner, comprising a coffee shell biochar solid conditioner and a coffee shell liquid bioconditioner; the residue after filtration of the liquid conditioner is returned to the carbonization process of the solid conditioner, realizing the waste-free utilization of all components of the coffee shell.

[0006] The preparation method of coffee shell biochar solid modifier is as follows: S1, raw material pretreatment: coffee shells are screened to remove impurities and dried to a moisture content ≤15%; S2, low-temperature pyrolysis carbonization: carbonization is carried out under anaerobic conditions at 400–500℃ for 2–3 hours, and then cooled to obtain raw coffee shell char; S3, pulverization and sieving: after pulverization, the char is passed through a 20–40 mesh sieve to obtain coffee shell biochar powder; S4, scientific compounding: coffee shell biochar powder, humic acid, beneficial microbial agents, and light calcium carbonate are mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 7:1:1:1; the beneficial microbial agents include Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus mucilaginosa.

[0007] The coffee shell liquid biological improver, by weight, comprises the following ingredients: 10 parts dried coffee shells, 50 parts slurry, 1.8 parts compound microbial culture, 0.3 parts brown sugar, 0.12 parts cellulase, 0.06 parts potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 600 parts dilution water; the compound microbial culture is a mixture of brewer's yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and Bacillus subtilis in a mass ratio of 1:1:1.

[0008] The preparation steps of the coffee shell liquid biological improver are as follows: S1, Raw material pretreatment: After screening and removing impurities, dry coffee shells are crushed and passed through a 60-80 mesh sieve. A pulping ratio of coffee shells to slurry water of 1:5 is used. The dry coffee shells are dried until the moisture content is ≤10%. S2, Inoculation: Brown sugar is added and dissolved, and a compound bacterial culture is added and mixed evenly. S3, Anaerobic fermentation: Anaerobic fermentation is carried out at 25-30℃ for 7-10 days, stirring once daily, until the pH reaches 4.5-5.5. The preferred temperature is 28℃, and the preferred time is 8 days. S4, Enzymatic extraction: Cellulase is added, and enzymatic hydrolysis is performed at 50℃ for 2 hours. S5, Filtration and purification: The mixture is filtered through an 80-100 mesh sieve, and the clarified fermentation liquid is collected. S6, Dilution and compounding: The liquid is diluted 1:10, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate is added and dissolved. The resulting liquid improver has a pH of 5.0-6.0, organic matter ≥30g / L, and available phosphorus ≥2g / L.

[0009] The method for the complete resource utilization and waste-free use of coffee shells of the present invention is as follows: the coffee shells are divided into two paths. One path is carbonized at a low temperature of 400-500℃ to prepare a solid coffee shell biochar modifier. The other path is prepared by anaerobic fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis of microorganisms to prepare a liquid coffee shell biomodifier. The residue after filtration of the liquid modifier is dried and returned to the carbonization process to achieve 100% resource utilization of coffee shells.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Complete resource utilization with zero waste: coffee shells are used to prepare solid and liquid conditioners, and the liquid residue is recycled and reused, achieving 100% raw material utilization and completely solving the problem of coffee shell pollution; 2. Synergistic improvement of solid and liquid: the solid conditioner provides long-term repair of soil structure, adjusts pH, and performs carbon sequestration; the liquid conditioner quickly replenishes nutrients, activates soil microorganisms, and synergistically adapts to the improvement of acidic red soil; 3. Light-asset and easy-to-promote process: the room-temperature anaerobic fermentation and low-temperature pyrolysis carbonization equipment have low investment and low energy consumption, making it suitable for small-scale industrial production; 4. Strong adaptability: the formula is customized for the soil in tea and coffee producing areas, significantly improving soil organic matter, improving the microenvironment, and promoting crop quality and yield improvement; 5. Outstanding ecological value: the solid conditioner can perform carbon sequestration, reducing the application of chemical fertilizers and meeting the requirements of green and low-carbon development.

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection.
