Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of treating nutrient solution in hydroponic cultivation of plants such as vegetables, fruits, flowers, and the like. The present invention relates to a method for treating a nutrient solution that enables a long-term circulation of a nutrient solution used in cultivation. [0002] In general, plants are cultivated using soil as a medium, such as fields and fields, and moisture and nutrients are absorbed from the roots through the soil. However, since water and nutrients are supplied by spraying water and nutrients on the soil, there is a problem that the efficiency of absorption by plants is low, and the loss of water and nutrients is large. On the other hand, hydroponic cultivation of plants such as vegetables, fruits, and flowers has been actively used in recent years. Hydroponic cultivation uses rock wool instead of soil, plastic foam,
A method is used in which fibrous substances and the like are used as a medium, and nutrients necessary for plants, such as nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potassium, are dissolved in water to adjust the concentration of a predetermined component, and then supplied to the medium by a pump.
For this reason, hydroponic cultivation can be labor-saving and mechanized, that is, there is no need for labor such as hoeing and plowing, and there is no need for weeding, etc., and there is no need to change soil and change places to eliminate continuous cropping obstacles. The fertilizer is dissolved and circulated in the water, so there is no waste such as fertilizer run-off and the required nutrients can be given as efficiently as necessary. It is hardly influenced by weather conditions, and the cultivation density is high. It is possible to
It has advantages such as effective use of land and increase in yield per unit area. [0004] Hydroponics takes advantage of the above advantages,
In recent years, the cultivation area has rapidly increased, and mass production of vegetables and the like has also been progressing through industrialization. However, as hydroponic cultivation is applied to various plants, if the plant is operated only by topdressing without replacing the nutrient solution for a long time, the growth of some plants may be significantly delayed, resulting in poor growth. ing. At present, measures such as replacing the nutrient solution with new ones are taken empirically before such a problem occurs, but such measures have a problem that cultivation costs increase. In addition, when exchanging nutrient solution, if nutrient-rich water is discharged directly into rivers, eutrophication of rivers and lakes will be incurred, so it is necessary to treat and discharge nutrient solution. [0005] It is considered that the cause of poor plant growth in hydroponic cultivation is due to accumulation of growth inhibitory substances such as phenolic substances and organic acid substances secreted from the cultivated plants in nutrient solution. Attempts have been made to improve the growth of plants by treating the nutrient solution used with granular activated carbon. However, when a large amount of granular activated carbon is used, the resistance of the liquid is so large that it is difficult to pass the liquid. The granular activated carbon powder leaks into the liquid. Rises, making it difficult for liquid to pass through. The granular activated carbon after treatment has a risk of dust explosion and cannot be incinerated, and becomes an industrial waste, which increases the treatment cost. In addition, granular activated carbon has a wide pore distribution. In addition, since many large pores are distributed, useful nutrients are adsorbed to the plant, and not only the amount of nutrients supplied to the nutrient solution increases, but also the adsorption capacity of the target growth inhibitor decreases. Yes, there were problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and does not cause plant growth failure even when a nutrient solution in hydroponics is circulated for a long period of time. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for treating nutrient solution in hydroponic cultivation, which has no problems in use such as granular activated carbon. Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to solve the above problems, and as a result, activated carbon fibrous has a property of selectively adsorbing a plant growth inhibitory substance well. If the nutrient solution is filtered through a treatment layer mainly composed of fibrous activated carbon, the replacement life of the nutrient solution can be significantly extended,
The present inventors have found that the growth of the plant has been improved and that there is no problem in use such as granular activated carbon. That is, the present invention provides a nutrient solution used for hydroponic cultivation of plants with a specific surface area of 500 to 2000 m 2 / g,

A method for treating a nutrient solution in hydroponic cultivation, characterized by circulating through a treatment layer comprising at least one fiber selected from the group consisting of: Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In the present invention, the main component of the treatment layer through which the nutrient solution used in hydroponics is passed is fibrous activated carbon.
The raw material of the fibrous activated carbon is not particularly limited, and may be any material obtained from coal pitch, petroleum pitch, rayon, phenol fiber, acrylic fiber, or the like. The specific surface area of the fibrous activated carbon is preferably 500 to 2000 m 2 / g as measured by the BET method. When the specific surface area is less than 500 m 2 / g, pores are reduced and the amount of growth inhibitor adsorbed tends to decrease. On the other hand, when the specific surface area exceeds 2000 m 2 / g, the pores become large and it becomes easy to adsorb nutrients useful for plants. Further, in the fibrous activated carbon, the proportion of the volume occupied by pores having a pore diameter of 30 mm or less in the pore distribution determined by the B, J, H method (the method of Barrett, Joyner, Halenda et al.) It is preferably at least 90% of the pore volume.
When the pore volume is less than 90%, the number of large pores that adsorb useful nutrients to the plant increases, and for example, 20 to 30 pores with a diameter of 30 mm or more such as commonly used granular or powdered activated carbon.
When it is present in an amount of 35%, the selective adsorption of the growth-inhibiting substance decreases, and even useful nutrients are adsorbed, and the required amount of nutrients to be supplied to the nutrient solution tends to increase. The treatment layer used in the present invention may be formed of a raw cotton or sheet of fibrous activated carbon and packed in a tank, a laminate of sheets containing fibrous activated carbon as a main component, or a concentric cylinder. Rolled into a cartridge to form a cartridge, fibrous activated carbon and a binder dispersed in water, molded into a cylindrical or cylindrical cartridge by introducing into a mold, and the sheet is molded into a corrugated or honeycomb shape Can be used. Among them, a cartridge formed by winding a sheet mainly composed of fibrous activated carbon has less clogging and is excellent in handling. When this cartridge is used as a treatment layer, it is preferable that the cartridge is attached to the housing and the nutrient solution is passed from the outer layer to the inner layer of the cartridge. As a method for manufacturing the cartridge, it is preferable to mix the fibrous activated carbon and other materials by a dry method or a wet papermaking method, form a sheet, and wind the sheet in a concentric cylindrical shape. Other materials used with fibrous activated carbon include low melting point polyester fiber, low melting point polyester as a sheath component, high melting point polyester as a core component, composite fiber, polyolefin fiber, and polyethylene as a sheath component.
Examples include binder fibers such as composite fibers having polypropylene as a core component, inorganic fibers such as glass fibers and ceramic fibers, and natural fibers. One or more of these are blended with the fibrous activated carbon, but the blending ratio is 40 to
90% by weight and 60 to 10% by weight of other materials are preferred. When the amount of the fibrous activated carbon is less than 40% by weight, the effect of adsorbing the growth inhibitor tends to decrease. Also, the amount of fibrous activated carbon is 90% by weight.
If it exceeds, it becomes difficult to form a cartridge. If the nutrient solution of hydroponic cultivation is used for a long period of time in a treatment layer containing fibrous activated carbon as a main component while filtering, the nutrient solution has a high nutrient content, so that microorganisms can propagate in the treatment layer and cause clogging. Problem may occur. In order to prevent such a problem from occurring, a treatment layer may be formed with fibrous activated carbon impregnated and / or containing a hardly water-soluble silver compound in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight, or a binder fiber containing an antibacterial silver compound may be used. If a processing layer such as a cartridge is formed by using the method, it is possible to prevent the growth of microorganisms in the processing layer. Here, as the poorly water-soluble silver compound, silver chloride and silver oxide are preferable because they can be easily obtained. As the antibacterial silver compound, silver oxide and silver-adsorbed zeolite are preferably used. As a means for impregnating or containing these silver compounds in the fibrous activated carbon or the treated layer, known methods can be adopted. In general, in hydroponic cultivation, a nutrient solution is sent from a nutrient solution tank for preparing a nutrient solution to each medium in a hydroponic culture bed by a pump. The nutrient solution after being supplied to the plant is collected in a drain pipe and returned to the nutrient solution tank. After adjusting the nutrient content, it is again sent to each medium, and the nutrient solution is circulated and used. In the above, according to the present invention, a tank provided with a treatment layer mainly composed of fibrous active is provided in the middle of a drainage pipe, or a nutrient solution is supplied between a nutrient solution tank and a tank provided with a treatment layer. A system separate from the nutrient solution circulation system is provided so that the nutrient solution can be circulated. The nutrient solution is passed through the treatment layer to adsorb the plant growth inhibitor, and then the nutrient solution from which the growth inhibitor has been removed is sent to the nutrient solution tank. Then, the solution is sent to the culture medium. Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples. Example 1 A specific surface area of 1650 m 2 / g, a pore volume of 0.84 ml / g, and a ratio of a volume occupied by pores having a pore diameter of 30 ° or less determined by pore distribution is 95% of the total pore volume. Coal pitch-based fibrous activated carbon 60% by weight
40% by weight of a composite binder fiber (Melty <4080> manufactured by Unitika Ltd.) with a sheath component of low melting polyester and a core component of high melting polyester mixed by card processing to produce a sheet with a basis weight of 40 g / m 2 did. This sheet is concentrically wound around a cylindrical iron pipe having an outer diameter of 30 mm to form a cylindrical cartridge having an outer diameter of 65 mm. After heat treatment, the cartridge is cut every 250 mm and cut into an inner diameter of 30 mm, an outer diameter of 65 mm, and a length of 250 mm. 250mm, 55g fibrous activated carbon
The resulting cylindrical cartridge was obtained. Using the obtained cylindrical cartridge as a treatment layer, it was attached to a circulation system of 500 liters of nutrient solution for hydroponic cultivation of honeybee, and was passed at a flow rate of 6 liters / min. Here, the honeybee used was Kansai white-stalked honeybee. The nutrient solution was Otsuka House Fertilizer No. 1 and No. 2 (trade name), a new solution adjusted to the concentration of the garden test formulation, and a continuous crop of three honeybees without using activated carbon. The test was performed for a solution using a liquid. As a result of the hydroponic cultivation for 30 days, the growth of the honeybee was good in all cases, and the growth weight ratio of the honeybee in the continuous cultivation liquor to the new liquor was 98%. The operating conditions of both liquids were good with no pressure increase and no generation of coal dust. In addition, the treated cartridges could be incinerated without any industrial waste. Furthermore, the adsorption of the active ingredient in the nutrient solution by the treated layer was small, and the fine adjustment of fertilizer replenishment was sufficient. Comparative Example 1 The specific surface area was 965 m 2 / g, the pore volume was 0.54 ml / g, and the ratio of the volume occupied by pores of 30 ° or less determined from the pore distribution was less than the total pore volume.
Honey cultivation was hydroponically cultivated in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 100 g of coconut granular activated carbon (78%) was packed in a 50 mm × 150 mm tower to form a treated layer. As a result of the hydroponic cultivation for 30 days, the growing weight ratio of the honeywort of the continuous cropping liquid to the new liquid was 83%, which was smaller than that of Example 1. No increase in pressure loss was observed, but black powder was generated due to leakage of granular activated carbon. If a filtration filter is provided to prevent this black powder, clogging due to the propagation of microorganisms occurs over a long period of operation, causing a large pressure loss. Furthermore, at the beginning of the passage, the components effective for growing honeybees decreased, and it was necessary to supplement them. Comparative Example 2 Honey beet was cultivated in hydroponics in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the treated layer containing fibrous activated carbon as a main component was not used. As a result, the growth weight ratio of the honey bean in the continuous cropping liquid to the new liquid was 60%
And Example 1 as well as much less than Comparative Example 1. According to the present invention, a growth inhibitory substance secreted by a plant or the like can be effectively removed by a treatment layer containing fibrous activated carbon as a main component. The liquid can be used continuously for a long period of time, and the treated layer does not have a problem in use such as granular activated carbon.
