The invention discloses a special binder for a granulated
fertilizer and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
fertilizer additives, and the method comprises the following steps: taking
corn starch as a
raw material, carrying out
acetic anhydride esterification to prepare
starch acetate, and carrying out graft copolymerization on the
starch acetate,
acrylic acid and
acrylamide monomers to form a
starch graft polymer solution; then
coating the surface of the acid-activated
zeolite with
chitosan through electrostatic self-
assembly to obtain
chitosan-
modified zeolite, and finally mixing a starch grafted
polymer solution with a
chitosan-
modified zeolite suspension, curing,
drying and crushing to obtain the binder. An organic-inorganic
hybrid structure is constructed through a flexible network of the starch grafted
polymer and a rigid framework of the chitosan
modified zeolite, a stable three-dimensional network is formed by utilizing multiple intermolecular acting force, the strength, pulverization resistance and slow release performance of
fertilizer particles can be synchronously improved, and the preparation method is suitable for high-
nitrogen compound fertilizer
granulation and has a wide application prospect. The problem of bonding failure caused by
ammonia release can be effectively solved, and the method has the advantages of good stability, environmental friendliness and simple and convenient process.
