The present invention provides a method for producing granular silicic acid fertilizer.
The present invention relates to a method for producing granular silicic acid fertilizer by granulating granular silicic acid fertilizer. In recent years, with the modernization of agriculture, a method of mechanically distributing a bulk blend of several types of fertilizers has been used to save labor in fertilization, but this method is only intended for granular fertilizers. It cannot be applied to so-called fine-grained fertilizers such as silicic acid fertilizers because classification is difficult. Conventionally, several methods of granulating silicic acid fertilizers have been attempted, and various binders have been proposed. Examples include granulation using pulp waste liquid, granulation using a mixture of the waste liquid and bentonite, urea, nitrofumic acid, alcohol fermentation waste liquid solids, and bentonite. In addition, granules are required that have sufficient strength to withstand transportation, storage, etc., appropriate apparent specific gravity, do not generate dust, and have a good texture. It has been developed to obtain granulated products using mainly organic by-products such as alcohol fermentation waste liquid as a binder. However, when granulation is performed using such by-products, the production volume of the main product tends to be controlled, so not only is the supply not stable, but the quality is also likely to vary. In addition, by-products such as alcohol fermentation waste have a strong odor and decay, leading to BOD.
Due to its high content, it not only worsens the working environment but also has disadvantages such as the cost of removing BOD. In view of the above problems, the present inventors conducted research to obtain a granulated product that is more industrially advantageous, and surprisingly discovered that magnesium sulfate is an excellent binder, and completed the present invention. . That is, the present invention provides a method for producing granular silicic acid fertilizer consisting of powdered silicic acid fertilizer and a binder, which has a specific surface area of 500 to 3000 cm 2 /g and a particle size of 44 μm or less.
A suitable amount of water is added to a blend of 100% by weight of 60% by weight powdered siliceous fertilizer and 1 to 7 parts by weight (calculated as MgSO 4 ) containing magnesium sulfate as a binder, and the mixture is granulated and dried at 70 to 120°C. The present invention relates to a method for producing granular silicic acid fertilizer. The silicic acid fertilizer applied in the present invention is generally called silicic acid or magnesium silicic acid, and contains soluble silicic acid, alkali content, soluble magnesium, etc., and is used, for example, in ironmaking slag, ordinary steel slag, stainless steel slag, Mine slag, ferromanganese slag, silicomanganese slag, ferronitkel slag, nickel slag, ferrochrome slag, magnesium slag,
The raw material is phosphorus manufacturing residue. The particle size and specific surface area of the siliceous fertilizer, along with the properties of the binder used, significantly affect the physical properties when granulated, so it is necessary to adjust them within a predetermined range. It is necessary to use a powdered silicic acid fertilizer containing 500 to 3000 cm 3 /g and 10 to 60% of particles with a particle size of 44 μ or less. Outside this range, water disintegration and granulation strength will be inconsistent. Satisfying the demands of contradictory characteristics tends to become difficult. Next, in the present invention, a substance containing magnesium sulfate is used as a binder in granulating the powdered silicic acid fertilizer, but this is not only industrial magnesium sulfate, but also a reaction between magnesium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. products, reaction products of magnesium and sulfuric acid, reaction products of serpentine or peridotite and sulfuric acid, etc. are mainly composed of MgSO 4 but also contain some MgC 2 and Mg. (OH) 2 may be included. Therefore, even if a certain amount of unreacted magnesium etc. is mixed in due to its nature, it can be used without any problem as long as it substantially contains magnesium sulfate. It may be of. The amount of magnesium sulfate-containing substances used in powdered siliceous fertilizer varies depending on manufacturing conditions and the physical properties of the substance contained, but in most cases it is 1 to 7 parts by weight as MgSO 4 per 100 parts by weight of siliceous fertilizer. , preferably in the range of 2 to 4 parts by weight. The reason for this is that if the amount is less than 1 part by weight, granulation becomes difficult, whereas if it is more than 7 parts by weight, it is not only uneconomical but also inconvenient in terms of balance with the fertilizing ingredients. To granulate powdered siliceous fertilizer using a substance containing magnesium sulfate, conventional granulation methods can be used without particular limitation, such as a dish granulator, a drum granulator, or a compression molding machine (press granulator). Using a desired granulator, such as a granulator, granulate while adding an appropriate amount of water, and then
It is dried at 70 to 120°C until it becomes a substantially dehydrated product, and if necessary, it is classified to produce a product. In addition, unless the above drying conditions are met, not only will it be impossible to obtain granules having the following predetermined particle size with a good yield;
This is because the granules do not have enough strength to withstand storage and transportation. The size of granules is not uniform depending on the purpose, but
In most cases, a range of 0.5 to 5 mm, preferably 1 to 4 mm is appropriate, and those outside this range are returned to the initial step and reused. Thus, according to the production method of the present invention, it is possible to adjust the particle size of powdered silicic acid fertilizer, which has conventionally been difficult to granulate, and to use a magnesium sulfate-containing material that can impart soluble magnesium and sulfate roots as a binder. By using it, it is possible to form granulated particles into a desired size. Furthermore, the obtained granular silicic acid fertilizer can be blended with other fertilizers and applied mechanically, and has good water disintegration properties and soil disintegration properties. Furthermore, it has appropriate strength, apparent specific gravity, and good texture with no dust generation, and is more compliant with the Offensive Odor Prevention Law, Water Pollution Prevention Law, Soil Pollution Prevention Law, Industrial Hygiene Law, etc. compared to granulated products that use organic matter as a binder. The present invention has great industrial significance because it can be manufactured without causing any problems in compliance with the various laws and regulations, and can be handled safely in use. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to Examples. Examples 1 to 10 A mixture prepared by adding a predetermined amount of magnesium sulfate-containing substance to the powdered siliceous fertilizer shown in Table 1 was processed using a dish-type granulator (diameter 1000 m/m, edge height 80 m/m, rotation speed 12 r.pm,
At an inclination angle of 54°), spray with water until the particle size is 1~
Granulate until it becomes 4 m/m (preferably 2 to 3 m/m). Dry this (70 to 120°C) to reduce the moisture content to 0.1% or less. This product was sized to a particle size of 1 to 4 m/m, and this ratio was used as the yield rate to obtain a silicic acid fertilizer granule, that is, a granular silicic acid fertilizer. Table 1 shows the test results for average crushing strength, water disintegration, and soil disintegration of this product.
