Description

本発明は、水溶性粒状肥料に樹脂が被覆された被覆粒状肥料に関するものであり、特に短期溶出型の被覆粒状肥料に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a coated granular fertilizer in which a resin is coated on a water-soluble granular fertilizer, and particularly to a short-term dissolution type coated granular fertilizer.

近年、粒状肥料の溶出成分の流亡による環境への影響、農業就労者の高年齢化に伴う省力化等の面から、より省力型で効率の高い肥料、並びにその使用法が要求されている。このような背景のもとに、種々の溶出調整型の肥料が提案され、実用化されている。   In recent years, more labor-saving and more efficient fertilizers and their usage have been demanded from the viewpoints of environmental impacts caused by the runoff of the eluted components of granular fertilizers and labor savings associated with the aging of agricultural workers. Under such a background, various elution-adjusted fertilizers have been proposed and put into practical use.

前記の溶出調整型の肥料は、粒状肥料の表面を有機系又は無機系の水透過性の被覆資材を用いて被覆することにより内部成分の溶出を制御した被覆粒状肥料である。中でも樹脂等の有機系の被覆資材を用いたものは溶出制御機能がより優れており、この様な有機系の被覆資材を用いたものが被覆粒状肥料の主流を占めている。   The elution control type fertilizer is a coated granular fertilizer in which elution of internal components is controlled by coating the surface of the granular fertilizer with an organic or inorganic water-permeable coating material. Among them, those using organic coating materials such as resins have a better elution control function, and those using such organic coating materials occupy the mainstream of coated granular fertilizers.

一般的に、被覆粒状肥料を水中に浸漬させると、水は徐々に被覆膜を透過し、被覆粒状肥料の内部に入り込むことにより、水溶性粒状肥料の溶出成分を溶解させる。溶解した該溶出成分は被覆膜を透過して被覆膜外に溶出するが、このとき、被覆膜が水及び成分の透過を抑制する。やがて該被覆膜は、吸水により膨張し、それにより溶出が促進される。   Generally, when the coated granular fertilizer is immersed in water, the water gradually permeates the coating film and enters the inside of the coated granular fertilizer to dissolve the elution component of the water-soluble granular fertilizer. The dissolved elution component permeates the coating film and elutes out of the coating film. At this time, the coating film suppresses the permeation of water and components. Eventually, the coating film expands due to water absorption, thereby promoting elution.

前記被覆資材として用いられる樹脂は、各種様々なものが使用されているが、ウレタン樹脂などの熱硬化樹脂は被膜の強度、耐水性の大きいこと、溶出特性の制御の容易さ、溶剤を使用しないで塗布することができるなどの理由から広く用いられており、本出願人も特許文献1において、粒状肥料であってその表面が、(A)芳香族ポリイソシアネートとひまし油またはひまし油誘導体ポリオールとから得られたイソシアネート基末端プレポリマーを、(B)ひまし油またはひまし油誘導体ポリオールと(C)アミン系ポリオールで、硬化させて得られるポリウレタン樹脂からなる被膜で被覆されてなる被覆粒状肥料を開示している。   Various types of resins are used as the coating material, but thermosetting resins such as urethane resins have high coating strength, high water resistance, ease of control of elution characteristics, and do not use solvents. The present applicant also disclosed in Patent Document 1 a granular fertilizer whose surface is obtained from (A) an aromatic polyisocyanate and castor oil or a castor oil derivative polyol. A coated granular fertilizer is disclosed in which the obtained isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer is coated with (B) a castor oil or castor oil derivative polyol and (C) an amine-based polyol and cured with a film made of a polyurethane resin.

前記被覆資材のなかでも、水溶性の被覆粒状肥料は溶出をコントロールする期間や溶出特性によって、長期溶出型、短期溶出型、シグモイド型などの溶出パターンを示すものが存在し、その用途に合わせて溶出パターンを細かに調整することが求められている。   Among the above coating materials, water-soluble coated granular fertilizers have elution patterns such as long-term elution type, short-term elution type, and sigmoid type depending on the elution control period and elution characteristics. It is required to finely adjust the elution pattern.

例えば、特許文献2には、粒状肥料の表面を高分子化合物を含む被覆材料で被覆することにより被覆粒状肥料を製造する際、その短軸/長軸比が0.80から0.95である粒状肥料を用いることを特徴とする被覆粒状肥料の製造方法が開示されており、該被覆粒状肥料を用いることで肥料成分の初期溶出を防止するとしたものである。   For example, in Patent Document 2, when the coated granular fertilizer is produced by coating the surface of the granular fertilizer with a coating material containing a polymer compound, the minor axis / major axis ratio is 0.80 to 0.95. The manufacturing method of the coated granular fertilizer characterized by using a granular fertilizer is disclosed, The initial elution of a fertilizer component is prevented by using this coated granular fertilizer.

また、特許文献3には、肥料を有効成分として含み、「円形度係数」が0.7以上である芯材粒子の表面上に、合成樹脂を主成分とする膜が覆われていることを特徴とする時限溶出型被覆粒状肥料が開示されており、該粒状被覆粒状肥料を用いることで肥料成分の初期溶出抑制機能を改善するとしたものである。尚、「円形度係数」とは、円形度係数=(4π×粒子の投影面積)/(粒子投影図の輪郭の長さ)、で算出される。 Patent Document 3 discloses that a film containing synthetic resin as a main component is covered on the surface of core material particles containing fertilizer as an active ingredient and having a “circularity coefficient” of 0.7 or more. A characteristic time-dissolved coated granular fertilizer is disclosed, and the use of the granular coated granular fertilizer improves the function of suppressing the initial dissolution of fertilizer components. The “circularity coefficient” is calculated by: circularity coefficient = (4π × projection area of particle) / (length of contour of particle projection diagram) 2 .

また、特許文献4には、粒状肥料の表面を被覆材で被覆することにより被覆粒状肥料を製造するに際し、原料として用いる粒状肥料として、転選機により選別された整粒を用いることを特徴とする被覆粒状肥料の製造方法が記載されており、所定の時期に溶出する肥効調節型肥料が提案されている。   Moreover, in patent document 4, when manufacturing a coated granular fertilizer by coat | covering the surface of a granular fertilizer with a coating material, the granulated fertilizer used as a raw material uses the granulated particle | grains selected by the selection machine. A method for producing a coated granular fertilizer is described, and a fertilizer effect type fertilizer that elutes at a predetermined time has been proposed.

前述したように、溶出調整型の肥料は、溶出コントロール期間を細かに調節することが求められており、施用後の溶出(以下「初期溶出」と記載することもある)を抑制し、なおかつ施用後任意の期間(例えば7日〜200日)で80質量%以上の溶出を示すものが求められている。   As described above, the elution control type fertilizer is required to finely adjust the elution control period, suppresses elution after application (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “initial elution”), and is applied. The thing which shows 80 mass% or more of elution in the after arbitrary period (for example, 7th-200th) is calculated | required.

その中で、特に短期間(例えば7〜40日)で80質量%以上の溶出を示す短期溶出型の溶出パターンを達成することは困難であり、従来より被覆膜の薄膜化や被覆膜の水酸基当量を増加させて被覆膜の透水性を高める、などの方法が知られているが、上記の方法では被覆膜にピンホール欠陥等が生じ易くなる為に、該欠陥から意図せず溶出してしまい、初期溶出を抑制できないという問題があった。   Among them, it is difficult to achieve a short-term elution type elution pattern that exhibits elution of 80% by mass or more particularly in a short period (for example, 7 to 40 days). Although a method of increasing the water permeability of the coating film by increasing the hydroxyl equivalent weight of the coating film is known, the above method tends to cause a pinhole defect or the like in the coating film. There was a problem that the initial elution could not be suppressed.

従って、本発明は初期溶出の抑制を損なわず、短期溶出型の溶出パターンを示すことが可能な短期溶出性の被覆粒状肥料を得ることを目的とした。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to obtain a coated granular fertilizer having a short-term dissolution property capable of exhibiting a short-term dissolution type dissolution pattern without impairing suppression of initial dissolution.

従来の被覆粒状肥料では、被覆する水溶性粒状肥料をより球形に近付けることにより、その表面に均一で欠陥が少ない被覆膜を形成し、意図しない溶出が生じることを抑制する方法がとられている。しかし、上記の方法で短期溶出型の溶出パターンを達成しようとすると、被覆膜全体を薄膜化せざるを得ず、結果的に被覆膜の欠陥を抑制することが難しくなり、特に初期溶出を抑制できなかった。そこで本発明者らは、従来と異なり表面に凹凸を有する肥料粒子を用いることによって厚みが不均一な被覆膜を形成することができ、短期溶出型の溶出パターンを示す被覆粒状肥料において、初期溶出の抑制が可能となることを見出した。   In the conventional coated granular fertilizer, a method is adopted in which a water-soluble granular fertilizer to be coated is made closer to a sphere, thereby forming a uniform coating film with few defects on its surface and suppressing unintentional elution. Yes. However, if it is attempted to achieve a short-term elution pattern with the above method, the entire coating film must be thinned, and as a result, it becomes difficult to suppress defects in the coating film. Could not be suppressed. Therefore, the present inventors can form a coating film having a non-uniform thickness by using fertilizer particles having irregularities on the surface unlike conventional ones, and in the coated granular fertilizer showing a short-term elution type elution pattern, It was found that elution can be suppressed.

すなわち本発明は、水溶性粒状肥料表面に被覆膜が形成された被覆粒状肥料であって、被覆に用いる肥料粒子群の単位質量あたり80質量%以上が、肥料粒子の体積(V1)と、該肥料粒子の表面の任意の2点を結ぶ長さ(R)が最大となるときの、直径をRとする球の体積(V2)とで算出される凹凸係数(V1/V2)が、0.05〜0.6の範囲内である凹凸を有する表面に被覆膜が形成されていることを特徴とする短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料。   That is, the present invention is a coated granular fertilizer in which a coating film is formed on the surface of a water-soluble granular fertilizer, wherein 80% by mass or more per unit mass of the fertilizer particle group used for coating is the volume of fertilizer particles (V1), The unevenness coefficient (V1 / V2) calculated by the volume (V2) of a sphere having a diameter R when the length (R) connecting any two points on the surface of the fertilizer particle is maximum is 0. A short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer, characterized in that a coating film is formed on a surface having irregularities in the range of 0.05 to 0.6.

上記の形状の粒子に被覆膜を形成することにより、該粒子の表面に膜厚が不均一な被覆膜が形成される。被覆膜が不均一であることにより、膜厚が相対的に薄くなっている部分から溶出し易くなり、この膜厚の薄い部分の膜厚や膜質を制御することにより、溶出期間を調整することが可能となる。   By forming a coating film on the particles having the above shape, a coating film having a non-uniform film thickness is formed on the surface of the particles. Due to the non-uniform coating film, it is easy to elute from the part where the film thickness is relatively thin, and the elution period is adjusted by controlling the film thickness and film quality of this thin film part. It becomes possible.

肥料粒子の体積(V1)は、該肥料粒子の質量を測定し、その比重からV1を算出することにより求めた。また、Rは該肥料粒子の最大長さを複数見積り、マイクロメーターで測定してその最大長さを求め、求めたRを直径とする球の体積V2を算出した。   The volume (V1) of the fertilizer particles was determined by measuring the mass of the fertilizer particles and calculating V1 from the specific gravity. In addition, R estimated a plurality of maximum lengths of the fertilizer particles, measured with a micrometer to determine the maximum length, and calculated a volume V2 of a sphere having the calculated R as a diameter.

本発明の短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料は、初期溶出の抑制を損なわず、短期溶出型の溶出パターンを示すものである。   The short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer of the present invention exhibits a short-term eluting type elution pattern without impairing suppression of initial elution.

本発明の短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料は、表面に凹凸を有する肥料粒子を用いることにより、膜厚が不均一な被覆膜を肥料粒子の表面に形成し、初期溶出を抑制したものである。肥料粒子の表面に凹凸があることにより被覆時に凹部の膜厚が厚く、凸部の膜厚が薄くなり、膜厚が不均一な膜形成が容易となる。凸部は球状の肥料粒子に他の粒子を付加したものでもよく、この凸部により不均一な被覆膜を形成することが容易となる。   The short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer of the present invention is one in which a coating film having a non-uniform film thickness is formed on the surface of fertilizer particles by using fertilizer particles having irregularities on the surface, thereby suppressing initial dissolution. Since the surface of the fertilizer particles has irregularities, the film thickness of the recesses is large at the time of coating, and the film thickness of the protrusions becomes thin, so that it is easy to form a film with a nonuniform film thickness. The convex portion may be formed by adding other particles to spherical fertilizer particles, and it becomes easy to form a non-uniform coating film by this convex portion.

本発明において、肥料粒子の表面の凹凸は、粒子の形状を測定して求められる「凹凸係数」により定義される。凹凸係数を算出する方法について、図1を参照しながら説明する。まず、肥料粒子1粒のサンプルの質量を測定し、その肥料の予め知られている比重から体積V1を算出する。次に、肥料粒子の表面の任意の2点を結ぶ長さが最大となる長さを複数見積り、マイクロメーターで測定してその複数の測定値のうち最大長さをRとする。次に求めたRを直径とする球の体積V2を算出する。得られた体積V1と体積V2の比(V1/V2)を凹凸係数とする。   In the present invention, the unevenness on the surface of the fertilizer particles is defined by an “unevenness coefficient” obtained by measuring the shape of the particles. A method of calculating the unevenness coefficient will be described with reference to FIG. First, the mass of a sample of one fertilizer particle is measured, and the volume V1 is calculated from the known specific gravity of the fertilizer. Next, a plurality of maximum lengths connecting two arbitrary points on the surface of the fertilizer particles are estimated, measured with a micrometer, and the maximum length among the plurality of measured values is R. Next, the volume V2 of the sphere having the diameter of R obtained is calculated. The ratio (V1 / V2) of the obtained volume V1 and volume V2 is defined as the unevenness coefficient.

前記粒状粒子は、前記の凹凸係数が0.05〜0.6の範囲内となる形状であり、該凹凸係数を前記の値とすることにより、初期溶出の抑制ができるようになり所望の溶出パターンを得ることが容易となる。また、好ましくは0.05〜0.5としても良い。   The granular particles have a shape in which the unevenness coefficient is in a range of 0.05 to 0.6, and by setting the unevenness coefficient to the above value, initial elution can be suppressed and desired elution is performed. It becomes easy to obtain a pattern. Moreover, Preferably it is good also as 0.05-0.5.

前記被覆膜は前記肥料粒子表面を覆うものであり、水を徐々に透過し、かつ水に溶解した該肥料粒子が被覆膜外部へ溶出するのを抑制するものである。該被覆膜の平均膜厚は特に限定するものではないが、水の透過を溶出期間に渡って抑制できる平均膜厚が良い。被覆膜の透水性が高い場合は膜厚を厚くする必要があり、低い場合は膜厚が薄くても構わない。また、特に粒径1〜20mmの肥料粒子を用いる場合、平均膜厚を1〜200μmとすることにより溶出性能を好適に調節することができる。   The coating film covers the surface of the fertilizer particles, and gradually permeates water and suppresses the dissolution of the fertilizer particles dissolved in water to the outside of the coating film. The average film thickness of the coating film is not particularly limited, but an average film thickness that can suppress the permeation of water over the elution period is good. When the water permeability of the coating film is high, it is necessary to increase the film thickness, and when it is low, the film thickness may be thin. In particular, when fertilizer particles having a particle diameter of 1 to 20 mm are used, the elution performance can be suitably adjusted by setting the average film thickness to 1 to 200 μm.

本発明の短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料は、被覆膜の平均膜厚に対して、該平均膜厚の1/2以下となる部分を有することが好ましい。ここで、「平均膜厚」とは被覆された肥料粒子群の膜厚の平均値を指すものとする。前記被覆膜において、膜厚が平均膜厚から外れる膜部分は、その膜厚が平均膜厚より厚くても平均膜厚より薄くても良い。当該部分が厚膜の場合、当該厚膜箇所は溶出が生じ難くなり、一方で、当該部分が薄膜の場合、当該薄膜箇所は溶出が生じ易くなる。当該膜部分の膜厚は、平均膜厚に対して1/2以下とするのが好ましく、より好ましくは1/4以下とすることが好ましい。当該膜部分の膜厚が平均膜厚より薄いことにより、被覆膜全体を薄膜化しなくとも当該薄膜箇所から優先的に溶出させ、初期溶出の抑制と短期溶出型の溶出パターンを同時に達成することが可能となる。当該部分の厚さは、所望の溶出パターンに応じて決定されれば良い。   The short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer of the present invention preferably has a portion that is ½ or less of the average film thickness with respect to the average film thickness of the coating film. Here, the “average film thickness” refers to the average value of the film thickness of the coated fertilizer particle group. In the coating film, the film portion whose film thickness deviates from the average film thickness may be thicker than the average film thickness or thinner than the average film thickness. When the portion is a thick film, the thick film portion is less likely to be eluted. On the other hand, when the portion is a thin film, the thin film portion is likely to be eluted. The film thickness of the film portion is preferably ½ or less, more preferably ¼ or less of the average film thickness. The film thickness of the film part is less than the average film thickness, so that the entire coating film can be preferentially eluted from the thin film part without reducing the film thickness, and the initial dissolution and short-term dissolution pattern can be achieved simultaneously. Is possible. The thickness of the part may be determined according to a desired elution pattern.

また、本発明においては、被覆された肥料粒子の断面を走査型電子顕微鏡により観察し、被覆膜の厚さを計測した。被覆された肥料粒子の断面のほぼ中央を中心として10°毎に被覆膜の厚さを測定し、これを30サンプル繰り返すことにより肥料粒子群の平均膜厚を求めた。次に、求めた平均膜厚に対して、膜厚が1/2以下となる測定点、及び1/4以下となる測定点の数から、肥料粒子群の膜厚において、平均膜厚より薄い部分の割合を求めた。   In the present invention, the cross section of the coated fertilizer particles was observed with a scanning electron microscope, and the thickness of the coating film was measured. The thickness of the coating film was measured every 10 ° around the center of the cross section of the coated fertilizer particles, and the average film thickness of the fertilizer particle group was determined by repeating this 30 samples. Next, the thickness of the fertilizer particle group is thinner than the average film thickness from the number of measurement points at which the film thickness is 1/2 or less and the number of measurement points at which 1/4 or less is obtained with respect to the obtained average film thickness. The proportion of parts was determined.

また、前記の薄膜部分は、肥料粒子群の被覆膜全体の表面積に対して0.2〜20%であるのが好ましい。20%を超えると溶出面積が増すことになり初期溶出の抑制が困難となるばかりか、所望の溶出パターンを達成することも困難となることがある。また、被覆膜全体の表面積に対して0.2〜10%であると、溶出面積が減少し初期溶出の抑制がさらに容易となるためより好ましい。   Moreover, it is preferable that the said thin film part is 0.2 to 20% with respect to the surface area of the whole coating film of a fertilizer particle group. If it exceeds 20%, the elution area increases and it becomes difficult not only to suppress initial elution but also to achieve a desired elution pattern. Moreover, it is more preferable that it is 0.2 to 10% with respect to the surface area of the whole coating film, since the elution area decreases and the initial elution can be more easily suppressed.

短期溶出パターンは、25℃の水中における肥料成分の溶出が3日で40質量%以下、21日で80質量%以上の溶出率となることを同時に達成したものであり、初期の溶出を抑え溶出率80質量%までリニア型の溶出パターンを示すものである。従って、21日で80質量%以上の溶出率を示すものであっても3日で40質量%を越え初期溶出が抑制できないものは本発明には適さない。   The short-term dissolution pattern was achieved by simultaneously achieving a dissolution rate of fertilizer components in water at 25 ° C of 40% by mass or less in 3 days and 80% by mass or more in 21 days. The linear elution pattern is shown up to a rate of 80% by mass. Therefore, even if the elution rate is 80% by mass or more in 21 days, those that exceed 40% by mass in 3 days and the initial elution cannot be suppressed are not suitable for the present invention.

前記肥料粒子は、水溶性であれば良く、その粒径は1〜20mmであるのが好ましく、より好ましくは1〜10mmとしてもよい。なお該粒径は、篩い分け法によって測定した試験用ふるいの目開きで表したものであり、直接測定された値でも、球体に換算した相当径でも、間接的に測定された値でもよい。網目が1〜20mmの篩いで篩い分けることで簡単に選別できる。   The fertilizer particles may be water-soluble, and the particle diameter is preferably 1 to 20 mm, more preferably 1 to 10 mm. The particle diameter is represented by the opening of a test sieve measured by a sieving method, and may be a directly measured value, an equivalent diameter converted to a sphere, or an indirectly measured value. The mesh can be easily selected by sieving with a sieve of 1 to 20 mm.

前記肥料粒子として、例えば、尿素、塩安、硫安、硝安、塩化カリ、硫酸カリ、硝酸カリ、硝酸ソーダ、燐酸カリ、燐酸アンモニア、燐酸石灰、からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の肥料又は複合肥料、および有機肥料が挙げられる。   Examples of the fertilizer particles include at least one fertilizer or composite selected from the group consisting of urea, ammonium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, potassium phosphate, ammonia phosphate, and lime phosphate. Examples include fertilizers and organic fertilizers.

前記被覆膜は、前述したように水を徐々に透過し、溶出成分の被覆膜外への溶出を抑制できれば良い。例えば、ポリウレタン樹脂、アルキッド樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂、メラミン樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、アクリル樹脂、ABS樹脂などの熱可塑性樹脂、天然ゴム、ロジン等の天然樹脂、シリコン樹脂、ワックス類等を使用することが可能であり、特に溶出特性が制御し易いことから、ポリウレタン樹脂が好適に利用される。   As described above, the coating film only needs to be able to gradually permeate water and suppress elution of the eluted components to the outside of the coating film. For example, thermosetting resin such as polyurethane resin, alkyd resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, melamine resin, thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, acrylic resin, ABS resin, natural rubber, rosin, etc. Natural resins, silicone resins, waxes and the like can be used, and polyurethane resins are preferably used because elution characteristics are particularly easy to control.

上記被覆膜は、単層でも多層が積層された膜でも差し支えなく、各層は同じ種類の膜を用いても、異なる種類の膜を用いて被覆膜の透水性を変えてもよい。また、該被覆膜は、被覆膜の強度や溶出特性等を調整する目的で、該被覆膜中に任意の第三の樹脂、無機物、植物油、触媒等を含有していてもよい。   The coating film may be a single layer or a film in which multiple layers are laminated, and each layer may use the same type of film or may change the water permeability of the coating film using different types of films. Moreover, this coating film may contain arbitrary 3rd resin, an inorganic substance, a vegetable oil, a catalyst, etc. in this coating film in order to adjust the intensity | strength, elution characteristic, etc. of a coating film.

さらに、短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料間の相互の固着を防止することを目的として、該被覆膜表面を無機質粉末で処理してもよい。無機粉末としては、例えばタルク、イオウ、炭酸カルシウム、シリカ、ゼオライト、ケイソウ土、クレー、金属酸化物が挙げられ、これらを単独又は混合して用いてもよい。   Furthermore, the surface of the coating film may be treated with an inorganic powder for the purpose of preventing mutual fixation between the short-term eluting coated granular fertilizers. Examples of the inorganic powder include talc, sulfur, calcium carbonate, silica, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, clay, and metal oxide, and these may be used alone or in combination.

本発明の肥料粒子は、例えば以下の方法(図2参照)で得ることが可能である。まず、肥料原料と水とを混合しスラリー状とし、複数の直径3mmの半球状の窪みを有する1対のプレスロールに、該窪みの体積の約2〜3倍量を投入し、該プレスロールで押し固め、板状肥料を得る。得られる板状肥料は、前記の窪みによって成型された球状部分と、窪みからはみ出た余剰分が板状に成型された部分とを有する。次に、上記板状肥料の両面から、ハンマーや解しロール等を用いて衝撃を与え解すことにより肥料粒子を得る。この時、前記の板状に成型された部分が、与えられる衝撃を球状部分に伝播し、球状部分に割れや変形を生じ易くすることにより、本発明の肥料粒子を得る。尚、当該方法を用いて得られる肥料粒子を測定したところ、凹凸係数が0.05〜0.6の範囲となり、凹凸係数の平均値が約0.3となった。   The fertilizer particles of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by the following method (see FIG. 2). First, fertilizer raw material and water are mixed to form a slurry, and a pair of press rolls each having a plurality of hemispherical depressions with a diameter of 3 mm are charged with about 2-3 times the volume of the depressions. Press to harden to obtain plate fertilizer. The obtained plate-shaped fertilizer has a spherical portion molded by the above-described depression and a portion in which the excess portion protruding from the depression is molded into a plate shape. Next, fertilizer particles are obtained from both sides of the plate-shaped fertilizer by applying an impact using a hammer, a unrolling roll, or the like. At this time, the portion molded into the plate shape propagates the applied impact to the spherical portion, and the spherical portion is easily cracked or deformed, thereby obtaining the fertilizer particles of the present invention. In addition, when the fertilizer particle | grains obtained using the said method were measured, the uneven | corrugated coefficient became the range of 0.05-0.6, and the average value of the uneven | corrugated coefficient became about 0.3.

本発明の短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料を製造する方法としては、流動状態又は転動状態とした前記の肥料粒子に、被覆膜を形成する為の被覆材を加えれば該肥料粒子全体が被覆される。本発明の場合、被覆に用いる肥料粒子群の単位質量あたり80質量%以上、好ましくは90質量%以上、前記凹凸係数が0.05〜0.6となる粒子を含有するとき、目的である短期溶出型の溶出パターンを達成することが可能となるため望ましい。   As a method for producing the short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer of the present invention, the entire fertilizer particles can be coated by adding a coating material for forming a coating film to the fertilizer particles in a fluidized state or a rolling state. The In the case of the present invention, the short term which is the object when containing particles having a roughness coefficient of 0.05 to 0.6, 80 mass% or more per unit mass of the fertilizer particle group used for coating, preferably 90 mass% or more. It is desirable because an elution pattern can be achieved.

前記肥料粒子の流動化には、流動層または噴流層等の装置が使用でき、転動化には回転パンまたは回転ドラム等の装置が使用できる。該肥料粒子を流動状態又は転動状態にすることによって、該肥料粒子表面に連続的に被覆膜を形成することが可能となる。   A device such as a fluidized bed or a spouted bed can be used for fluidizing the fertilizer particles, and a device such as a rotating pan or a rotating drum can be used for rolling. By making the fertilizer particles into a fluid state or a rolling state, a coating film can be continuously formed on the surface of the fertilizer particles.

前記肥料粒子を流動状態又は転動状態にする際、該肥料粒子をあらかじめ熱風等によって一定時間予熱するのが好ましい。この時、予熱時間及び予熱温度は、該肥料粒子の水分が被覆材に大きな影響を及ぼさない程度の水分量、肥料粒子の温度が好適な被覆温度となるように適宜調整されればよい。   When the fertilizer particles are in a fluidized state or a rolling state, it is preferable to preheat the fertilizer particles for a certain period of time with hot air or the like. At this time, the preheating time and the preheating temperature may be appropriately adjusted so that the amount of water and the temperature of the fertilizer particles are such that the water content of the fertilizer particles does not greatly affect the coating material.

前記被覆材を流動状態又は転動状態とした粒状肥料に加える方法としては、効率よく分散添加できるものであればよく、例えば噴霧、滴下等が挙げられ、特に、圧縮空気を用いた二流体ノズルによって噴霧添加する方法は所望の被覆膜を形成させることが可能であるため好適に利用される。また、被覆材が樹脂等の液状物である場合、該被覆材は低粘度であることが好ましく、例えば被覆温度において0.1〜200mPa・sであることが好ましい。被覆材は粘度が200mPa・s以上の場合は被覆膜の全表面を被覆材で覆うことが困難となり、被覆膜にピンホール欠陥等を生じ初期溶出の抑制が困難となる。   As a method for adding the coating material to the granular fertilizer in a fluidized state or a rolling state, any material that can be efficiently dispersed and added may be used, and examples thereof include spraying and dripping. The spray addition method is preferably used because a desired coating film can be formed. When the coating material is a liquid material such as a resin, the coating material preferably has a low viscosity, for example, preferably 0.1 to 200 mPa · s at the coating temperature. When the viscosity of the coating material is 200 mPa · s or more, it is difficult to cover the entire surface of the coating film with the coating material, which causes pinhole defects in the coating film and makes it difficult to suppress initial elution.

以下、実施例により本発明を説明する。尚、本発明は以下の実施例に限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of examples. In addition, this invention is not limited to a following example.

最初に、肥料粒子を作成した。まず、塩化アンモニウム94質量%と水6質量%とを混合し、スラリー状とした肥料原料を複数の直径3mmの半球状の窪みを有する1対のプレスロールに該窪みの体積の2倍量を投入し、該プレスロールで押し固め板状の塩化アンモニウムを得た。次に、上記板状の塩化アンモニウムの両面から、1対の解しロールを用いて断続的に衝撃を与えながら解し、凹凸のある塩化アンモニウム粒子(A群)を得た。   First, fertilizer particles were created. First, 94% by mass of ammonium chloride and 6% by mass of water were mixed, and a fertilizer raw material made into a slurry was added to a pair of press rolls having a plurality of hemispherical indentations with a diameter of 3 mm and the volume of the indentations was doubled. Then, a plate-like ammonium chloride was obtained by pressing with a press roll. Next, it was broken from both sides of the plate-like ammonium chloride using a pair of unwinding rolls while intermittently giving impacts to obtain uneven ammonium chloride particles (Group A).

また、比較例として上記方法で得られた肥料粒子の水分を蒸発させた後、転動装置内で転動させ整粒し、粉化した塩化アンモニウムを篩い落とすことで球状の塩化アンモニウム粒子(B群)を得た。   Moreover, after evaporating the water | moisture content of the fertilizer particle | grains obtained by the said method as a comparative example, it rolls and sizes in a rolling device, Spherical ammonium chloride particle | grains (B Group).

次に前記塩化アンモニウム粒子の形状を測定し、凹凸係数を算出した。測定は凹凸のある塩化アンモニウム粒子(A群)と球状の塩化アンモニウム粒子(B群)について行い、また、塩化アンモニウム粒子の比重を1.53g/cmとして計算を行った。形状を測定した結果から凹凸係数(V1/V2)を求め、表1(A群)及び表2(B群)にそれぞれ肥料粒子1個を1サンプルとして20サンプルの結果を、また、図3(A群)及び図4(B群)にサンプル約2〜3gについて測定を行った際の凹凸係数の分布をそれぞれ示した。表1に示すA群の平均凹凸係数は0.28、表2に示すB群の平均凹凸係数は0.62であった。 また、図3に示すようにA群の肥料粒子は100質量%が凹凸係数0.05〜6の範囲内であったが、B群の肥料粒子は凹凸係数0.05〜6の範囲内のものは、約47質量%であった。 Next, the shape of the ammonium chloride particles was measured, and the unevenness coefficient was calculated. The measurement was performed on uneven ammonium chloride particles (Group A) and spherical ammonium chloride particles (Group B), and the calculation was performed with the specific gravity of the ammonium chloride particles being 1.53 g / cm 3 . The unevenness coefficient (V1 / V2) is obtained from the result of measuring the shape, and the results of 20 samples are shown in Table 1 (Group A) and Table 2 (Group B), with one fertilizer particle as one sample, and FIG. (Group A) and FIG. 4 (Group B) show the distribution of the unevenness coefficient when measuring about 2 to 3 g of the sample. The average unevenness coefficient of Group A shown in Table 1 was 0.28, and the average unevenness coefficient of Group B shown in Table 2 was 0.62. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, 100% by mass of the fertilizer particles of Group A was in the range of the unevenness coefficient 0.05-6, but the fertilizer particles of Group B were in the range of the unevenness coefficient 0.05-6. The amount was about 47% by mass.

[Comparative Example 1]
While charging 1.2 kg of ammonium chloride particles (particle size 2.8 to 4.0 mm) having an average unevenness coefficient of 0.62 in the group B into a drum-type rolling coating apparatus having a diameter of 300 mm, while rolling at 20 rpm, The ammonium chloride temperature was maintained at 70 ° C. by a hot air generator.

This was cooled to room temperature (about 25 ° C.) to obtain a short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer. At this time, the average film thickness of the ammonium chloride particle group was 16 μm and showed a short-term elution type elution pattern.

At this time, the average film thickness of the ammonium chloride particle group was 20 μm, and the initial elution could be suppressed, but the short-term elution type elution pattern was not shown.

[比較例3]
第1層目および第2層目の前記被覆材Aの添加量を合計20.8gとした以外は比較例1と同様の方法で短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料を得た。このとき塩化アンモニウム粒子群の平均膜厚は24μmで、初期溶出を抑制することはできたが、短期溶出型の溶出パターンは示さなかった。
[Comparative Example 3]
A short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that the amount of the coating material A added in the first layer and the second layer was 20.8 g in total. At this time, the average film thickness of the ammonium chloride particle group was 24 μm, and the initial elution could be suppressed, but the short-term elution type elution pattern was not shown.

実施例1および実施例2より、凹凸係数が0.05〜0.6の肥料粒子を用いることにより、該肥料粒子表面に所望の被覆膜を形成でき、短期溶出性被覆粒状肥料の初期溶出を抑制し、さらに短期溶出型の溶出パターンを達成することがわかった。   From Example 1 and Example 2, by using fertilizer particles having an unevenness coefficient of 0.05 to 0.6, a desired coating film can be formed on the surface of the fertilizer particles, and the initial dissolution of the short-term eluting coated granular fertilizer It was found that a short-term elution pattern was achieved.

また、比較例1〜比較例3は、楕円形状で表面に目立った凹凸がないもので凹凸係数は0.62であった。   Moreover, Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3 were elliptical and had no conspicuous unevenness on the surface, and the unevenness coefficient was 0.62.

また、比較例1は実施例1および実施例2と同程度の短期溶出型パターンを目指したものであるが、実施例1および実施例2よりも平均膜厚が薄いにも関わらず、実施例1よりも長期間溶出する溶出パターンを示し、実施例2と同等の長期溶出パターンを示しているものの初期溶出が抑制できなかった。また、比較例1は膜厚の薄さに起因して被覆時に被覆膜の欠陥が多数生じ、初期溶出を抑制することが困難であった。   Further, Comparative Example 1 aims at a short-term dissolution pattern similar to that of Example 1 and Example 2, but although the average film thickness is smaller than that of Example 1 and Example 2, the Example Although an elution pattern eluting for a longer time than 1 was shown and a long-term elution pattern equivalent to that of Example 2 was shown, initial elution could not be suppressed. Further, in Comparative Example 1, due to the thin film thickness, many defects of the coating film occurred during coating, and it was difficult to suppress initial elution.

また、比較例2は実施例1および実施例2と同程度の初期溶出の抑制を行ったものであるが、比較例1と同様に、実施例1および実施例2よりも平均膜厚が薄いにも関わらず、実施例1および実施例2よりも長期間溶出する溶出パターンを示した。また、被覆膜は実施例1および実施例2及び比較例1と比べると均一に被覆されていた。   In Comparative Example 2, the initial elution was suppressed to the same extent as in Examples 1 and 2, but the average film thickness was smaller than in Examples 1 and 2 as in Comparative Example 1. Nevertheless, an elution pattern eluting for a longer time than in Example 1 and Example 2 was shown. Further, the coating film was uniformly coated as compared with Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 1.

また、比較例3は実施例1および実施例2と同程度の平均膜厚を示すものであり、初期溶出の抑制には優れている一方で、比較例1、比較例2と同様、実施例1および実施例2よりも長期間溶出する溶出パターンを示した。また、比較例2と同様、被覆膜は均一に被覆されていた。   Comparative Example 3 shows an average film thickness comparable to that of Example 1 and Example 2, and is excellent in suppressing initial elution, while being similar to Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, The elution pattern eluting for a longer time than that of Example 1 and Example 2 was shown. Further, as in Comparative Example 2, the coating film was uniformly coated.

以上より、凹凸係数が0.05〜0.6の肥料粒子を用いて被覆粒状肥料を形成することにより、被覆膜に平均膜厚より薄い部分を形成させることが可能となり、初期溶出を抑制しながら、短期溶出型の溶出パターンを達成することが可能となることが明らかとなった。   From the above, by forming coated granular fertilizer using fertilizer particles with an unevenness coefficient of 0.05 to 0.6, it becomes possible to form a portion thinner than the average film thickness in the coating film, suppressing initial elution However, it became clear that a short-term elution pattern could be achieved.
