Hy-Sailing's Eco-Friendly Attapulgite for Fertilizer and Soil Enhancement
Explore the extraordinary attributes of Hy-Sailing's attapulgite clay, a marvel of non-metallic minerals. This layered magnesium aluminum silicate mineral boasts a sophisticated 2:1 layered structure, setting it apart in its category.
Witness the remarkable crystalline form of attapulgite, featuring rod-shaped and fibrous structures. The intricate design includes pores threading through layers and grooves adorned with alternating irregularities, culminating in a remarkably large specific surface area.
The structural wonders of attapulgite reveal unevenly sized pores and cavities, endowing it with exceptional adsorption, ion exchange, and catalytic capacities.
This dynamic clay readily adsorbs most cations, water molecules, and organic molecules of a defined size into its accommodating pores.
Experience the transformative power of attapulgite as it fortifies your soil with beneficial trace elements and organic nutrients. It not only amplifies fertilizer utilization efficiency but also rejuvenates soil, thereby boosting both the yield and quality of crops.
Our attapulgite finds prolific application across diverse industrial and agricultural fields, particularly excelling in compound fertilizers and soil enhancement solutions.
I, Innovative Application of Compound Fertilizer Adhesive
Harness the potential of specially processed attapulgite as a superior binder for compound fertilizers. It promises a high granulation forming rate, swift formulation, robust particle strength, and impeccable surface smoothness. With extended fertilizer retention, it enhances production capacity while curbing electricity consumption and economizing on costly raw materials like talcum powder and ammonium chloride.
Such compelling benefits have propelled its wide adoption in major fertilizer industries.
A testament to sustainability, this natural, eco-friendly mineral material aligns perfectly with the environmental mandates of composite fertilizer binder usage.
Revolutionize Fertilizer Bonding with These Advantages:
1.1. It safeguards the efficacy of fertilizers, minimizing nutrient loss.
1.2. It significantly heightens the efficiency of compound fertilizers.
1.3. Attapulgite facilitates rapid granulation and ensures robust particle integrity in compound fertilizers.
1.4. Intrinsically a fertilizer, attapulgite also serves to enrich and enhance soil quality.
1.5. The unique porous crystal structure of the rod-like particles augments soil's physical properties, notably enhancing water permeability.
1.6. Leveraging the ion exchange properties of attapulgite powder, it markedly improves soil conditions.
II. Attapulgite as a Versatile Functional Carrier for Slow-Release Fertilizers
Dynamic Slow Release Carrier Particles
Discover attapulgite's paramount role in ion exchange and porosity, delivering superior adsorption, separation, and regulation functions for N, P, K nutrients. In its initial application, it sequesters effective components like N, P, K, and releases them when necessary, extending their utilitarian lifecycle. Research underscores modified bentonite's prowess in curbing nitrogen loss in fertilizers like nitrate, sulfate, and urea. Moreover, attapulgite serves adeptly as a coating for calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers, imparting a gradual nutrient release as a coating or additive.
The production of slow-release/controlled-release fertilizers through carrier adsorption fixation leverages physical methods. By dispersing and adsorbing fertilizers uniformly onto slow-release materials, a porous network system is established, gradually releasing nutrients as the carrier materials desorb, dissolve, and degrade.
Composed of silicon oxygen tetrahedra and aluminum oxygen octahedra, attapulgite's layered structure is an active mineral powerhouse, featuring high specific surface area and cation exchange capacity.
This mineral's ability to absorb and maintain nutrients is key to the controlled release efficacy of fertilizers, thanks to its high specific surface area and geometric spacing between layers.
