Description

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår nye absorberende granulater og deres anvendelse, især som plantevækstmedium.The present invention relates to novel absorbent granules and their use, especially as plant growth medium.
Plantevækstmedier, der anvendes til hydroponisk dyrkning 5 eller som substrat i potter, er baseret på sand, pimpsten eller vulkansk lava, perlit, vermiculit, expanderet lerjord, træbark, brunkul eller lyse tørv.Plant growth media used for hydroponic cultivation 5 or as a substrate in pots is based on sand, pumice or volcanic lava, perlite, vermiculite, expanded clay soil, tree bark, lignite or light peat.
Expanderet lerjord eller træbark har den ulempe ikke at 10 være særligt porøse i området fra 15 til 150 pra. Tilbageholdelsen af vand i disse substrater er således meget begrænset, hvilket ved hydroponisk dyrkning nødvendiggør en permanent vanding af sådanne substrater.Expanded clay soil or tree bark has the disadvantage of not being particularly porous in the range of 15 to 150 pra. The retention of water in these substrates is thus very limited, which necessitates a permanent irrigation of such substrates by hydroponic cultivation.
15 Perlit eller vermiculit har højere porøsitet mellem 15 og 150 pm end expanderet lerjord eller træbark. Luftning af substratet er vigtig, da det intergranulære vand let løber fra. Disse substrater anvendes ofte som hydroponiske dyrkningsmedier.15 Perlite or vermiculite have higher porosity between 15 and 150 µm than expanded clay soil or tree bark. Aeration of the substrate is important as the intergranular water flows easily. These substrates are often used as hydroponic culture media.
2020
Sand kan tilbageholde mere vand end de ovenfor beskrevne fire substrater, hovedsageligt i den intergranulære porøsitet, hvor der kun kan opretholdes et lille rumfang luft. Af den grund vil anvendelsen af sand som dyrknings-25 medium nødvendiggøre en fornyet vanding i hyppige og regulerede tidsintervaller, idet en permanent vanding ville fremkalde hurtig kvældning og forrådnelse af rødderne.Sand can retain more water than the four substrates described above, mainly in the intergranular porosity where only a small volume of air can be maintained. For this reason, the use of sand as a culture medium will necessitate a renewed irrigation at frequent and regulated intervals of time, since permanent irrigation would cause rapid swelling and rot of the roots.
Tørv er det bedst tilpassede substrat til urtepotter for 30 hydroponisk dyrkning. Det har evnen til at tilbageholde vand og luft og er derfor eftertragtet til plantedyrkning. Det bør aldrig udtørre, da det så vil blive hydrofobt og derefter vanskeligt lader sig genfugte (se Soil Science, 1991, 152-2, pp. 100-107, B. Valat, C. JOUNANY 35 OG l.m. RIVIERE: Characterisation of the Wetting of Air Dried Peats and Composts). Det har også den ulempe at 2 DK 171408 B1 synke sammen i tidens løb, hvilket forringer beluftning af rødderne og dermed væksten af planten.Peat is the best adapted substrate for herbal pots for 30 hydroponic cultivation. It has the ability to retain water and air and is therefore sought after for plant cultivation. It should never dry out as it will then become hydrophobic and then difficult to re-moisturize (see Soil Science, 1991, 152-2, pp. 100-107, B. Valat, C. JOUNANY 35 AND lm RIVIERE: Characterization of the Wetting or Air Dried Peats and Composts). It also has the disadvantage that 2 DK 171408 B1 sink together over time, which impairs aeration of the roots and thus the growth of the plant.
DE offentliggørelsesskrift 3 220 137 beskriver et plante-5 vækstmedium som består af kalcineret kieselguhr og som udviser høj kapillaritet. Fremstillingsmåden af granulaterne ved kalcinering er uøkonomisk og energikrævende og selve udgangsmaterialet er kostbart.DE-publication 3,220,137 discloses a plant-5 growth medium consisting of calcined silica and which exhibits high capillarity. The preparation of the granules by calcination is uneconomical and energy intensive and the starting material itself is expensive.
10 Den foreliggende opfindelse angår derimod et udmærket vækstmedium for planter, som er karakteriseret ved, det i krav l's kendetegnende del angivne. Dette vækstmedium kan overraskende fremstilles ud fra anvendt kieselguhr i form af filterkager fra gæringsindustrien.The present invention, on the other hand, relates to an excellent growth medium for plants, characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1. This growth medium can, surprisingly, be prepared from used silica gel in the form of filter cakes from the fermentation industry.
1515
Herudover angår opfindelsen en fremgangsmåde til fremstilling af det omhandlede plantevækstmedium, der er ejendommelig ved det i krav 2's kendetegnende del angivne. Herudover angår opfindelsen anvendelsen af vækstmedi-20 et som angivet i krav 6 og 7.In addition, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the subject plant growth medium which is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 2. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the growth medium as claimed in claims 6 and 7.
Andre kendetegn, som er specielt fordelagtige, er følgende: 25 - et ringe indhold af tungmetaller; god mekanisk modstandsevne mod sammensynkning; en ionbytterkapacitet for kationer (Ca+, Na+, Mg++, K ) på over 100 milliækvivalenter/dm i urtepotter o eller mindre end 100 milliækvivalenter/dm i hydropo-30 niske kulturer; let genfugtning efter utilsigtet udtørring.Other features which are particularly advantageous are the following: 25 - a low content of heavy metals; good mechanical resistance to sinking; an ion exchange capacity for cations (Ca +, Na +, Mg ++, K) exceeding 100 milliequivalents / dm in herbal pots o or less than 100 milliequivalents / dm in hydroponic cultures; slight rewetting after accidental drying.
God mekanisk bestandighed ved sterilisation med vanddamp er ligeledes værdsat for de hydroponiske plantekulturer, 35 som skal være bakteriologisk inerte, især når det drejer 3 DK 171408 B1 sig om at recirkulere et substrat efter anvendelsen til dyrkning.Good mechanical resistance to water vapor sterilization is also appreciated for the hydroponic plant cultures, which must be bacteriologically inert, especially when it comes to recycling a substrate after its use for cultivation.
Visse egenskaber vil blive forklaret nærmere i det efter-5 følgende.Certain properties will be explained in more detail below.
Tilbageholdelsen af vand af et substrat udtrykkes ved mængden af vand, som absorberes pr kg plantvækstemedium.The retention of water by a substrate is expressed by the amount of water absorbed per kg of plant growth medium.
Det af planten assimilerbare vand eller den nyttige vand-10 reserve er den mængde, som tilbageholdes i porer af en størrelse mellem 1,5 og 150 μπι. Den mængde vand, som tilbageholdes i porerne af en størrelse mellem 1,5 og 150 μπι, er assimilerbar af planten, men på bekostning af en sugekraft, som sætter planten i en tilstand af stress: 15 det benævnes stressvand. Vandet i porer af en størrelse under 1,5 μπι er ikke assimilerbart af planten og er derfor uden interesse for væksten: det betegnes uanvendelig vandreserve. For eksempel indeholder naturlige rå prøver fra lergrave vand i en mængde på indtil 2 til 3 gange de-20 res vægt, men planterne kan ikke gro eller trives deri, fordi hele porøsiteten er mindre end 1,5 μπι.The water-assimilable plant or useful water-10 reserve is the amount retained in pores of a size between 1.5 and 150 μπι. The amount of water retained in the pores of a size between 1.5 and 150 μπι is assimilable by the plant, but at the expense of a suction force that puts the plant in a state of stress: it is called stress water. The water in pores of a size below 1.5 μπι is not assimilable by the plant and is therefore of no interest to the growth: it is termed useless water reserve. For example, natural raw samples from clay-digging water contain up to 2 to 3 times their weight, but the plants cannot grow or thrive there because the entire porosity is less than 1.5 μπι.
Den nyttige reserve og behovet for vand udtrykks i procent mellem det med vand fyldte volumen og voluminet af 25 det tørre plantesubstrat (det tilsyneladende rumfang af plantesubstratet). Det måles ifølge en protokol beskrevet af D. TESSIER og BERRIER: Utilisation de la microscopie å balayage dans 1 obervation de sols soumis a différents pH, Science du So, 67-82, 1979.The useful reserve and the need for water are expressed as a percentage between the volume filled with water and the volume of the dry plant substrate (the apparent volume of the plant substrate). It is measured according to a protocol described by D. TESSIER and BERRIER: Utilization de la microscopy to balance dance in obervation de sols soumis a différents pH, Science du So, 67-82, 1979.

Den strukturelle stabilitet er et vigtigt kriterium for så vidt angår vandingsegenskaberne for et substrat under langvarig eller hyppig vanding og stabiliteten overfor vand. Således vil visse lerjordtyper nedbrydes under sim-35 pel påvirkning af kapillær opstigning af vand i materialets porer og kanaler. Materialet sønderdeles ved eksplo- 4 DK 171408 B1 sion af lommerne på grund af indesluttet luft, og så spaltes det. Materialet testes ved i et prøverør på 50 ml at indføre 5 g tørt bæremedium og dernæst 25 ml vand. Røret lukkes og vendes kontinuert i 30 minutter. Den struk-5 tureile stabilitet er angivet ved procentdelen af partiklernes masse, som forbliver med dimensioner over 1 mm.Structural stability is an important criterion as to the irrigation properties of a substrate during prolonged or frequent irrigation and the stability to water. Thus, certain types of clay soil will degrade under the simple influence of capillary rise of water in the pores and channels of the material. The material is decomposed by explosion of the pockets due to entrapped air, and then it is cleaved. The material is tested by introducing 5 g of dry carrier medium into a 50 ml test tube and then 25 ml of water. The tube is closed and turned continuously for 30 minutes. The structural stability is indicated by the percentage of the mass of the particles remaining at dimensions above 1 mm.
Målingen af pH-værdien udføres efter at en portion granulat i løbet af 15 minuter er bragt i kontakt med 5 gange 10 dets vægt af vand. Planterne tåler dårligt et basisk substrat .The measurement of the pH is carried out after a portion of granulate has been contacted within 5 minutes with 5 times its weight of water. The plants poorly tolerate a basic substrate.
Det acceptable indhold af tungmetaller i et plantesub-strat afhænger hovedsageligt af, hvorvidt substratet skal 15 anvendes som et hydroponisk dyrkningsmedium eller en pottekultur. En ionbytterkapacitet på nul er ikke noget handicap for en hydroponisk kultur, selv om den er vigtig for en pottekultur. En værdi på over 100 milliækvivalen-ter (mækv) ioner/dm er tilfredsstillende for pottekultu- o 20 ren. Ved en værdi under 100 mækv/dm bør vækstmediet re-gelmæsigt forbedres med lidt gødning.The acceptable content of heavy metals in a plant substrate depends mainly on whether the substrate is to be used as a hydroponic culture medium or a pot culture. Zero ion exchange capacity is not a handicap for a hydroponic culture, although it is important for a pot culture. A value of over 100 milliequivalents (meq) ions / dm is satisfactory for the pot cultivator. At a value below 100 mEq / dm, the growth medium should generally be improved with a little fertilizer.
Permeabiliteten af vækstmediet bør muliggøre hurtig afvanding gennem susbtratet. Den måles sædvanligvis i darcy 25 til at være omkring 0,987*10"12 m2 i MKSa-enheder ifølge en metode beskrevet i FR 2.367.282.The permeability of the growth medium should allow rapid dewatering through the suspension. It is usually measured in darcy 25 to be about 0.987 * 10 "12 m2 in MKSa units according to a method described in FR 2,367,282.
Kieselguhr har hidtil ikke vundet praktisk anvendelse som vækstmedium for planter. Alligevel er det et pulver, som 30 kan absorbere næsten sin dobbelte vægt af vand. Studier af dets opfugtelighed viser, at det mættes med 1,8 kg vand/kg, men dets behov for vand ligger i nærheden af 4%. Vand absorberes hovedsageligt i porer på under 1,5 (.un, og porøsiteten mættet med vand er ikke tilgængelig for luft, 35 hvor det frie rumfang efter fugtning af substratet er under 0,5%: det fugtede kieselguhr er et mudder eller slam, 5 DK 171408 B1 der er praktisk taget er uanvendeligt, og hvori planterne på grund af mangel på luft ved rødderne ville dø.So far, Kieselguhr has not gained practical use as a growth medium for plants. Still, it is a powder that can absorb almost its double weight of water. Studies of its moisture content show that it is saturated with 1.8 kg of water / kg, but its need for water is close to 4%. Water is absorbed mainly in pores below 1.5 microns, and the porosity saturated with water is not available for air, where the free volume after wetting the substrate is less than 0.5%: the wetted silica is a mud or mud, 5 DK 171408 B1 which is practically useless and in which the plants would die due to lack of air at the roots.
Der findes ganske vist et tysk patent, DE 31.20782, hvori 5 der er omtalt fremstillingen af vækstmedier for planter ved granulering af forbrugt kieselguhr, der stammer fra filterkager fra bryggerier. Kagerne blev agglomereret med ler. Denne proces fører alligevel til tørre produkter, der har behov for vand i mængder mellem 4 og 7% af det 10 tilsyneladende rumfang (til sammenligning med 20 til 40% for forskellige arter af tørv). Den strukturelle stabilitet af de tørre og kalcinerede produkter, omfattende mellem 50 og 80%, ifølge de oprindelige filterkager, er utilstrækkelige til at danne en godt hydroponisk vækstme-15 dium for planter. Afhængig af arten af det anvendte ler vil granulaterne af filterkagerne have en pH-værdi mellem 8 og 10, når de kalcineres.Admittedly, there is a German patent, DE 31.20782, which discloses the production of growth media for plants by granulation of spent silica that originates from filter cakes from breweries. The cakes were agglomerated with clay. This process nevertheless leads to dry products in need of water in amounts between 4 and 7% of the 10 apparent volumes (compared to 20 to 40% for different peat species). The structural stability of the dry and calcined products, comprising between 50 and 80%, according to the original filter cakes, is insufficient to form a good hydroponic growth medium for plants. Depending on the nature of the clay used, the granules of the filter cakes will have a pH between 8 and 10 when calcined.
I almindelighed mener man, at de omhandlede forbindelser 20 tilstopper porøsiteten af materialerne, som de forenes med. Det ville ikke være nogen ulempe for et brændstof eller et konstruktionsmateriale, men det ville være yderst uheldigt i forbindelse med fremstilling af plantefibre, hvor det drejer sig om et stort behov for vand.In general, the compounds 20 are believed to clog the porosity of the materials with which they are combined. It would not be a disadvantage for a fuel or a construction material, but it would be extremely unfortunate in connection with the production of plant fibers where there is a great need for water.
25 Det er grunden til, at forsøgene på at agglomerere de hidtil kendte absorptionsjordarter er resultatet af at inkorporere absorptionsjordarterne inde i selve skumharpikserne (se for eksempel JP-A-55125132 eller JP-A-80125132 fra Mitsui Toatsu Chem. Inc., DD-217795 fra VEB 30 Agroch. Piesteri), der er reduceret til den ønskede gra-nulometri ved knusning af den polymeriserede masse.This is why the attempts to agglomerate the known absorption soils are the result of incorporating the absorption soils within the foam resins themselves (see, for example, JP-A-55125132 or JP-A-80125132 from Mitsui Toatsu Chem. Inc., DD 217795 from VEB 30 Agroch. Piesteri) reduced to the desired granulometry by crushing the polymerized mass.
Man har nu undersøgt, om det er muligt at fremstille sådanne absorberende granulater, især som vækstmedier for 35 planter, ved at danne fibre af blandinger af kieselguhr og urinstofformaldehydharpikser, som man lader tørre ef- 6 DK 171408 B1 ter polymerisation, og som man om fornødent til slut færdiggør i enkeltheder i den ønskede form. Absorbtionseffektiviteten af de opnåede produkter ved denne ekstraordinært simple proces er meget uventet. De foretrukne 5 kompositioner er sådanne som omfatter 100 dele kieselguhr med 20 til 50 dele af en urinstof-formaldehydharpiks, der kan være en melamin-formaldehyd-harpiks, beregnet på tør vægt.It has now been investigated whether it is possible to prepare such absorbent granules, especially as growth media for 35 plants, by forming fibers of mixtures of silica and urea formaldehyde resins which are allowed to dry after polymerization and finally complete in details in the desired form. The absorption efficiency of the products obtained in this extraordinarily simple process is very unexpected. The preferred compositions are those comprising 100 parts of silica with 20 to 50 parts of a urea-formaldehyde resin which may be a melamine-formaldehyde resin, based on dry weight.
10 Fremgangsmåden ifølge opfindelsen består således i at blande et kieselguhr, hvis vandindhold er indstillet på 40%, med en urinstofformaldehydharpiks indeholdende en sur katalysator, for eksempel NH^Cl. Sammensætningen blandes med omhu og spindes under tryk, for eksempel med 15 en presse af typen Kahl. Pastaen bliver så presset gennem en spindedyse, som kan drives ved hjælp af en udstryg-ningsvalse over et gitter. Man kan også presse den med en presse af typen Pinette under tilsætning til pastaen af et spindemiddel af typen carboxymethylcellulose. Fibrene 20 bliver til slut tørret ved en temperatur mellem 95 og 180 °C for at tværbinde harpiksen og om nødvendigt foretages en formaling for at opfylde brugerens behov med hensyn til dimensioner, i almindelighed mellem 1 og 4 mm.Thus, the process of the invention consists in mixing a silica gel whose water content is set at 40% with a urea formaldehyde resin containing an acidic catalyst, for example NH 2 Cl. The composition is mixed with care and spun under pressure, for example with a Kahl press. The paste is then pressed through a spinning nozzle which can be driven by means of an ironing roller over a grid. It can also be pressed with a pinette type press while adding to the paste of a carboxymethyl cellulose type spinner. Finally, the fibers 20 are dried at a temperature between 95 and 180 ° C to cross-link the resin and, if necessary, a grinding is performed to meet the user's dimensions requirements, generally between 1 and 4 mm.
25 Harpikserne af er af en sådan type, som man anvender som bindemiddel til fremstilling af brændbare materialer eller for at opnå plader af agglomereret træ. Harpiksen fremstilles ved kondensation af formalin og urinstof. Den markedsføres i vandig form indeholdende 50 til 80% tør 30 harpiks, eller i tør form.The resins of are of a type used as a binder for making combustible materials or for obtaining sheets of agglomerated wood. The resin is prepared by condensation of formalin and urea. It is marketed in aqueous form containing 50 to 80% dry 30 resin, or in dry form.
Det anvendte kieselguhr ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse bør være underkastet kalcineringsbehandling for at justere permeabilitet til mellem 0,03 og 15 darcy. Det er 35 en sådan behandling, som kieselguhr skal underkastes, når det forarbejdes til filtreringsmidler. Denne tilstand af 7 DK 171408 B1 permeabilitet for kieselguhr er nødvendig for at opnå en tilstrækkelig åben porøsitet i materialet, men den er ikke tilstrækkelig. Ved at anvende kieselguhr i form af et pulver, sikres den nødvendige intergranulære permeabili-5 tet for røddernes respiration. Størrelsen af denne permeabilitet er ikke sammenlignelig med materialets indre permeabilitet. Permeabiliteten øges som en funktion af evnen med kvadratet på diameteren af de åbne porer, fra nogle millimeter ved ophobning af granulerne til nogle 10 halve snese mikrometer i kieselguhren.The silica gel of the present invention should be subjected to calcination treatment to adjust permeability to between 0.03 and 15 darcy. It is one such treatment that silica must be subjected to when processed into filtration agents. This state of silica glue permeability is necessary to achieve sufficient open porosity in the material, but it is not sufficient. By using silica as a powder, the necessary intergranular permeability for the respiration of the roots is ensured. The size of this permeability is not comparable to the internal permeability of the material. The permeability is increased as a function of the ability with the square of the diameter of the open pores, from a few millimeters of the accumulation of the granules to some 10 half a dozen microns in the silica.
Kieselguhr er imidlertid et ganske kostbart materiale at anvende til et almindeligt plantesubstrat. Dets permeabi-litetsegenskaber har vist sig ikke at være udtømt ved al-15 mindelig udnyttelse som filtreringsmiddel, men findes stadig i materialer som filterkager, som for eksempel til bryggerier eller i vinindustrien, hvilke udgør en billig kilde for råmaterialer til realisering af de absorberende granulater ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse. Anvendel-20 sen af disse filterkager er så meget mere fordelagtig for den foreliggende opfindelse, fordi det ikke blot er råmaterialer uden værdi, men også fordi deres bortskaffelse bliver mere og mere besværlig. Den eneste begrænsning er, at man er nødt til at tørre dem delvist for at reducere 25 fugtigheden fra 65% til 40%.However, silica is a very expensive material to use for an ordinary plant substrate. Its permeability properties have not been depleted by general use as a filtering agent, but are still found in materials such as filter cakes, such as for breweries or in the wine industry, which provide an inexpensive source of raw materials for making the absorbent granules according to the present invention. The use of these filter cakes is so much more advantageous to the present invention because not only are raw materials of no value, but also because their disposal becomes more and more cumbersome. The only limitation is that you have to dry them partially to reduce the humidity from 65% to 40%.
De hidtil kendte agglomerater udviste en vanskeligt accepterbar basicitet, som stammmede fra forbrændingsaske fra organiske stoffer, der var tilbageholdt i kagen under 30 filtrering af øl eller vin. Agglomeraterne ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse er opnået uden kalcinering, og deres pH-værdi er hensigtsmæssig. Deres behov for vand ligger mellem 8 og 12%, deres nyttige reserve mellem 20 og 40%, og deres strukturelle stabilitet ligger mellem 80 35 og 95%. De, der har et vandbehov mellem 8 og 12%, er især velegnet til hydroponisk kultur, selv om deres nyttige 8 DK 171408 B1 reserve ikke overstiger 12%. De, der har et vandbehov beliggende mellem 8 og 12% og en nyttig reserve mellem 20 og 40%, er egnede til plantekulturer i potter, hvilket medfører en modstandsdygtighed af planten mod uundgåelige 5 vand-stressbetingelser, for eksempel under transport eller lagring.The previously known agglomerates exhibited a poorly acceptable basicity derived from combustion ash from organic matter retained in the cake during the filtration of beer or wine. The agglomerates of the present invention are obtained without calcination and their pH value is appropriate. Their need for water is between 8 and 12%, their useful reserve is between 20 and 40%, and their structural stability is between 80 35 and 95%. Those with a water demand of between 8 and 12% are particularly suitable for hydroponic culture, although their useful reserve does not exceed 12%. Those having a water requirement located between 8 and 12% and a useful reserve between 20 and 40% are suitable for plant cultures in pots, resulting in the plant's resistance to unavoidable 5 water stress conditions, for example during transport or storage.
Uden at gå uden for opfindelsens rammer udgør disse produkter ligeledes absorbtionsmaterialer til opsugning af 10 olier, for eksempel fra garagegulve.Without departing from the scope of the invention, these products also constitute absorbent materials for absorbing 10 oils, for example from garage floors.

Der fremstilles et plantesubstrat med et leragtigt binde-15 middel i overensstemmelse med det i beskrivelsen til patent DE 3120782 anførte. Hertil iblandes en fugtig filtreringskage fra et bryggeri med et bentonit-ler (CLAR-SOL® FR4 fra CECA S.A.) og carboxymethylcellulose for at tilbageholde vand under spindingen. De mængdeforhold, som 20 benyttes, er følgende:A plant substrate with a clay binder is prepared in accordance with that disclosed in patent specification DE 3120782. To this is added a moist filtration cake from a brewery with a bentonite clay (CLAR-SOL® FR4 from CECA S.A.) and carboxymethyl cellulose to retain water during spinning. The quantity ratios used are as follows:
Filterkage (i tør tilstand) 1000 g vand 650 g bentonit-ler 100 g carboxymethylcellulose 20 gFilter cake (in dry state) 1000 g water 650 g bentonites 100 g carboxymethyl cellulose 20 g

Den strukturelle stabiltet og vandtilbageholdelsen er dog utilstrækkelig til udnyttelse som hydroponisk bærer eller substrat. Man kan forbedre dem ved kalcinering ved 600 °C, hvorved ler-bindemidlet sintres og de organiske stof-10 fer destrueres ved kalcinering, men den strukturelle stabilitet overstiger ikke 65%, og pH-værdien stiger igen til 8,9. Disse produkter muliggør vækst af planter labo-ratoriemæsigt, men udsaltningen af fint materiale på grund af den ringe strukturelle stabilitet gør dem uan-15 vendelige på grund af tilstopning af recirkulationssystemerne for næringsvæske.However, the structural stable and water retention is insufficient for use as a hydroponic carrier or substrate. They can be improved by calcination at 600 ° C, whereby the clay binder is sintered and the organic substances destroyed by calcination, but the structural stability does not exceed 65% and the pH again rises to 8.9. These products allow the growth of plants laboratory-wise, but the salting out of fine material due to the poor structural stability makes them useless due to clogging of the nutrient fluid recirculation systems.
