Hy- Sailing Attapulgite for fertilizer
With unique physical and chemical properties of non-metallic minerals, the attapulgite clay is a layered magnesium aluminum silicate mineral with a 2:1 layered structure.
Its crystals are rod-shaped and fibrous, with pores running through the layers and grooves covering the surface with alternating irregularities, resulting in a large specific surface area.
There are unevenly sized pores and cavities in the structure, so it has strong adsorption, ion exchange, and catalytic properties.
Most cations, water molecules, organic molecules of a certain size can be directly adsorbed into the pores.
It has significant effects on supplementing beneficial trace elements, organic nutrients, water, improving fertilizer utilization efficiency, improving soil, and increasing crop yield and quality.
Widely used in various fields of industry and agriculture, especially in the fields of compound fertilizers and soil improvement.
I, Application of Compound Fertilizer Adhesive
Specially processed and attapulgite, as a binder for compound fertilizers, has high granulation forming rate, short time, high granulation strength, good surface smoothness, long fertilizer retention time, can improve production capacity, reduce electricity consumption, and also save the amount of expensive raw materials such as talcum powder and ammonium chloride.
Therefore, it has been widely used in major fertilizer industries.
It belongs to natural and environmentally friendly mineral materials, suitable for the environmental requirements of the use of composite fertilizer binders.
The advantages of using as a fertilizer bonding agent are as follows:
1.1. It can maintain the effectiveness of fertilizers and reduce the loss of nutrients from fertilizers.
1.2. It can enhance the fertilizer efficiency of compound fertilizers.
1.3. The use of attapulgite in compound fertilizer granulation has the characteristics of fast granulation and high particle strength.
1.4. Attapulgite itself is a fertilizer and can also improve soil.
1.5. The porous crystal structure of the concave convex rod can improve the physical properties of soil, especially by increasing the permeability to water
1.6. The ion effect of attapulgite powder can improve soil
II. Application as a functional adsorption carrier for slow-release fertilizers and slow-release fertilizers
Slow release carrier particles
Attapulgite has ion exchange and porosity, and has the functions of adsorption, separation, and bidirectional regulation for N, P, K, etc. In the early stage of fertilization, it can adsorb some effective components such as N, P, K, etc., and separate them again when the soil effective concentration decreases in the later stage, prolonging and improving the utilization rate of effective components. Studies have shown that modified bentonite can effectively prevent nitrogen loss in nitrogen fertilizers such as nitrate, sulfate, and urea; Attapulgite can also be used as a coating for calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer granules, whether as a coating or an additive, it can have a slow-release effect on nutrients.
The physical method of producing slow-release/controlled-release fertilizers using carrier adsorption fixation involves uniformly dispersing and adsorbing the fertilizers onto slow-release materials, forming a porous network system that is released as the slow-release materials desorb, dissolve, and degrade.
Attapulgite is a layered structure composed of silicon oxygen tetrahedra and aluminum oxygen octahedra.
It is an active mineral with high specific surface area, high cation exchange capacity, and geometric space between layers. It has the ability to absorb and preserve nutrients. This is the main reason for the controlled release effect of fertilizers.
