Predmety: CONTROLLED release of fertilizers, LIGNINS, NITROGEN fertilizers, BIOMASS, POLYOLS, SUSTAINABLE agriculture, POLYURETHANES, FERTILIZER application
Abstrakt: The development of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) has faced significant challenges due to high hydrophilicity and short release lifespan of bio-based materials, as well as non-renewable and high cost of polyester polyols (PPs). In this study, lignin-based polyols (LPs) and PPs were modified to form a cross-linked polymer film on the surface of urea through an in situ reaction. This approach effectively balanced the slow-release ability and environmental protection of controlled-release fertilizer films. A two-factor, five-level orthogonal test was designed for the mass ratio of lignin/polyester polyol and polyol/polyaryl polymethylene isocyanate (PAPI), comprising a total of 25 treatments. The results indicated that the appropriateness of lignin polyols increased the hydrogen bond content of polyurethane membrane, improved the mechanical strength of the fertilizer membrane shell, and effectively reduced friction losses during storage and transportation. Moreover, optimizing the polyol-to-PAPI ratio minimized coating porosity, produced a smoother and denser surface, and prolonged the nitrogen release period. When the lignin polyol dosage was 25% and the polyol to PAPI ratio was 1:2, the nitrogen release time of the prepared coated urea extended to 32 days, which was 3.5 times longer than that of lignin polyurethane coated urea (7 days). The incorporation of lignin and the optimal ratio of coating materials significantly improved the controlled-release efficiency of coated fertilizer, providing theoretical support for the sustainable agricultural application of biomass.
