Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of controlled release fertilizers, particularly to the field of IPC classification number C05G3 / 40, and more particularly to the preparation and use of controlled release fertilizer coatings of fully bio-based polyester polyols containing furandicarboxylic acid. [Background technology]
[0002] Polymer polyols are one of the key raw materials that determine the performance of polyurethane materials. Most commercially available polyester polyols are produced by dehydrating and polycondensing simple adipic acid and small polyols under vacuum and high temperatures. Polyurethane products based on polyester polyols with this structure have excellent properties, including high mechanical strength, oil resistance, heat resistance, and aging resistance, but also have obvious drawbacks, such as poor hydrolysis resistance, salt spray resistance, and aging resistance. To improve these properties, a commonly used approach in the industry is to introduce small amounts of phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, or terephthalic acid (phenyl cyclic dicarboxylic acid) into the system. The addition of aromatic structures not only increases the rigidity of the molecular backbone but also further improves the mechanical properties of polyurethane products. At the same time, the introduction of aromatic structures improves the water resistance and other properties of the material to some extent through steric hindrance and crystallization factors. However, due to the insufficient hydrophobicity of the phthalic acid, the resulting polyester polyols have a short release period when used in controlled-release fertilizers, limiting their use in downstream controlled-release fertilizer applications.
[0003] Bio-based polyester polyols are new materials produced using biological, chemical, and physical methods using renewable biomass as raw materials. The emergence of bio-based materials has made them a new option in the current carbon-neutral era, as they can simultaneously meet the needs of low-carbon environmental protection and the diversifying consumer needs of the market. Bio-based materials offer many advantages, including being green, low-carbon, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and made from renewable raw materials. They also have excellent biodegradability and can be used in a wide range of applications.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN116515079A discloses a bio-based polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer coating material and a polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer. The coating material is produced by the crosslinking reaction of a bio-based 1,5-pentadiisocyanate compound with a bio-based polyol. The bio-based polyol is produced by the ring-opening polymerization of an epoxidized fatty acid ester, lactic acid, and a bio-based alcohol. The bio-based acid used in this patent is lactic acid, which has a small molecular weight, contains specific polar functional groups, and has a certain degree of hydrophilicity. The esterification reaction of the bio-based alcohol with an esterification catalyst exhibits hydrophobicity, but the hydrophobicity is weak. Therefore, when used as a coating agent for controlled-release fertilizer, the thickness must be increased to improve hydrophobicity and extend the sustained-release period, resulting in higher costs.
[0005] Chinese Patent CN115873200A discloses another biologically-derived polyol for polyurethane used in the production of controlled-release fertilizer, which is obtained by liquefying biomass raw materials such as starch and straw. However, due to the complicated manufacturing process and low biomass content, the controlled-release period can only reach 60 days if the coating rate is slowed down. Only by increasing the coating rate can the controlled-release period be further extended, which also leads to an increase in production costs.
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the object of the present invention is to provide a polyurethane controlled release fertilizer coating containing furan dicarboxylic acid based on renewable raw materials, which is highly biodegradable, environmentally safe, has strong hydrophobicity, good sealing performance, and is suitable for mass production.
[0007] On the other hand, the present invention also aims to provide a use of a polyurethane controlled release fertilizer coating material containing furan dicarboxylic acid based on the above renewable raw materials.

The present invention is the first to introduce a furan ring structure into a polyurethane coating system. Compared to the aromatic benzene ring structure introduced by conventional methods, the furan ring has excellent water resistance and is advantageous for extending the release period of coated controlled-release fertilizers. Furthermore, the present invention prefers furandicarboxylic acid prepared from renewable raw materials as the source of the furan ring, thereby improving the performance of the film material and increasing the biomass content, resulting in greater biocompatibility and ecological safety.

[0012] The polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer coating material of the present invention is obtained by crosslinking polyester polyol of furan dicarboxylic acid (Bio-FDCA) based on renewable raw materials with isocyanate. The infrared spectrum shows that all of the polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer coating materials of the present invention have the corresponding characteristic absorption of dimethylfuran, for example, the stretching vibration peak C=C of the furan ring is at 1598-1600 cm -1 , 1220~1225cm -1 At 1070-1075 cm-1, there is the C=O stretching vibration of the ester group directly connected to the furan ring, and at 818-823 cm-1, there is the C=O stretching vibration of the C-O-C group on the furan ring. -1 and 764-768 cm -1 corresponds to the CH out-of-plane bending vibration of the benzene ring or furan ring of the isocyanate, and among these, 764 to 768 cm -1 The characteristic absorption of 764-768 cm is mainly caused by the CH out-of-plane bending vibration of the furan ring. -1 The characteristic absorption peak intensity at 818-823 cm -1 The absorption peak intensity is significantly greater than that at

The isocyanate is a petroleum-based MDI, PM-200, purchased from Wanhua Chemical.
[0045] The polyester polyol of this embodiment is produced by the following steps. According to the above weight parts, Bio-FDCA, adipic acid, diethylene glycol, and glycerol were added to a reactor, and a catalyst was added. The reactor was heated to 150°C and refluxed for 6 hours, and then the temperature was raised to 200°C and refluxed for another 6 hours. The acid value was measured, and the reaction was terminated when the acid value was 5.0 mg KOH / g or less. The reactor was then cooled to 180°C and distilled under reduced pressure, and the vacuum was controlled at -0.065 MPa until the acid value was 2.0 mg KOH / g or less. After the water mass fraction was 0.1% or less, the temperature was reduced, and the material was released to obtain polyester polyol.
[0046] This embodiment also provides a method for using the above-mentioned polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer coating material containing furan dicarboxylic acid based on renewable raw materials. This step involves weighing 1 kg of granular urea with a particle size of 2.00 to 4.75 mm, adding it to a high-efficiency coating machine, and heating it to 65°C. The polyester polyol and isocyanate produced in this example are then weighed and divided into four equal portions, each containing 3.28 g of polyester polyol and 1.97 g of isocyanate, where the molar ratio of the hydroxyl groups of the polyester polyol to the NCO groups of the isocyanate is approximately 1:1. Polyester polyol and isocyanate were mixed in parts and sprayed onto the surface of the urea granules. After mixing, the polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer coating material crosslinked in situ on the surface of the urea granules, forming a film. After uniform mixing, the next batch of materials was added and the process continued. This was repeated four times, after which the mixture was allowed to solidify for five minutes. To prevent adhesion, 0.2% paraffin was added based on the total mass of the mixture, and the mixture was cooled to 20°C and released, yielding a polyurethane-coated controlled-release fertilizer. The application rate of the polyurethane controlled-release fertilizer coating material was 2.1 wt% (coverage rate) of the polyurethane-coated controlled-release fertilizer.
