The application discloses a method for preparing functional
humus by using nano-iron composite catalyst to induce directional humification of
straw and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of agricultural
solid waste
resource utilization and
humus synthesis. The method uses agricultural
straw as
raw material, improves the reaction activity through alkali pre-dissociation, and then uses ternary nano-iron composite catalyst composed of nano-Fe2O3, zero-valent nano-iron and nano-FeCl3 to perform directional hydrothermal humification, so as to induce directional condensation of
straw lignocellulose hydrolysis products and enrich acid-containing
oxygen and
nitrogen functional groups. After the reaction,
solid-liquid separation is performed and differential modification is performed, the
solid phase is used to prepare nano-iron-based hydrothermal humic carbon for
saline-alkali farmland improvement, and the
liquid phase is used to prepare functional
humic acid foliar
fertilizer for
crop growth promotion. The application shortens the reaction period to 4 hours, realizes directional regulation of functional groups and high-value utilization of all components of straw, and realizes synchronous improvement of
soil fertility and yield increase of soybeans and corn through a matched regional application process.
