The invention discloses Chinese yam
vine ceramsite as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of recycling of agricultural resources. The Chinese yam
vine ceramsite is prepared from the following raw materials: Chinese yam
vine,
fly ash and
bentonite in a
mass ratio of 4: (1-4): (4-5.4). The preparation method of the Chinese yam vine ceramsite comprises the steps that Chinese yam vines are smashed and screened to prepare Chinese yam vine
powder, the Chinese yam vine
powder is dried and then mixed with
fly ash and
bentonite, water is added to prepare balls, preheating, high-temperature
roasting and cooling are conducted, the Chinese yam vine ceramsite is obtained, the preheating temperature is 105 DEG C, the
roasting temperature is 300-600 DEG C, and the
roasting time is 30-90 min. The Chinese yam vine ceramsite is used for a
plant soilless culture substrate. The Chinese yam vine ceramsite disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of high water absorption, developed pores, moderate density and the like, and shows a
growth promotion effect superior to that of a traditional substrate in cultivation of plants such as
scindapsus aureus and
spathiphyllum. The method realizes
resource utilization of agricultural and
forestry wastes, and has good ecological and
economic benefits.
