Conventionally, this urea/formaldehyde condensate was
Generally, urea and formaldehyde are mixed into PH using an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide.
After conducting an addition reaction in a high pH range of 8 or higher, a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid is added to the addition reaction mixture to achieve a low pH of 4 or lower.
It is produced by a method that involves a two-step reaction in which the addition reactants are further condensed or reacted in a region.

However, the urea/formaldehyde condensate produced through the two-step reaction is not a compound with a single degree of condensation, regardless of the manufacturing method.
It is a mixture of methylene urea with various degrees of condensation, and it is difficult to control the degree of condensation, resulting in a large amount of unreacted urea components, or conversely, a large amount of highly condensed compounds that are insoluble in hot water. Currently, there is no established method for stably producing slow-release nitrogen fertilizers with desirable components.

As a result of various studies in view of the problems associated with the production of urea/formaldehyde condensates, the inventors have discovered that the above-mentioned agricultural products can be produced by carrying out an addition reaction of urea and formaldehyde in a specific ratio, and then carrying out a condensation reaction under mild reaction conditions. The present invention was achieved based on the knowledge that a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer with a quality that is desirable in terms of quality can be obtained.

That is, the gist of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer consisting of a urea/formaldehyde condensate by subjecting urea and formaldehyde to an addition reaction and then subjecting the addition reaction mixture to a condensation reaction. 1 to 2 moles of urea is added to the reaction mixture at a temperature of 40 to 80°C in an aqueous solution whose pH is adjusted to 8 to 10, and the resulting addition reaction product has a pKa value (25
℃) is 4.5-5.5 by adding acidic substances to PH4.5-6.5
The present invention relates to a method for producing a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer, which comprises preparing an aqueous solution of the nitrogen fertilizer and carrying out a condensation reaction at a temperature of 40 to 80°C.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。 The present invention will be explained in detail below.

The urea used in the present invention is usually solid urea, but it may also be an aqueous solution, and in this case, a highly concentrated urea is preferred. In addition, formaldehyde is usually used as an aqueous solution, such as commercially available formalin,
The concentration is not particularly limited, but a high concentration is preferable.

The ratio of supplying urea and formaldehyde to the reaction is 1 to 1 mol of urea to 1 mole of formaldehyde.
The amount is 2 moles, preferably about 1.5 moles. This ratio has a great effect on product quality; if the urea content is less than the above range, the amount of highly condensed compounds in the product will increase, and if the urea content is excessive, the amount of residual unreacted urea will increase, making it impossible to obtain the desired slow-release fertilizer. It disappears.

Urea and formaldehyde in such a ratio are added in an aqueous solution, and the reaction is carried out at a pH of 8 to 10 in consideration of reaction rate and stability of the addition reaction product.
The pH of the aqueous solution can be adjusted by appropriately selecting commonly used alkaline substances, such as sodium borate, alkali metal or alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and water. Calcium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, etc. are preferably used. The alkaline substance can be added at any time, such as after mixing urea and formaldehyde aqueous solution, or by adding an amount that will give the desired pH to the formaldehyde aqueous solution in advance.

The addition reaction between urea and formaldehyde is carried out at a temperature of 40 to 80°C, because if the temperature is too low, the reaction will take a long time, which is industrially disadvantageous, and if it is too high, the reaction rate will be fast and the product will be highly condensed. The addition reaction is carried out until substantially no formaldehyde remains in the reaction solution.

That is, the resulting product is usually not separated as a reaction mixture, but an acidic substance is added to it.
Adjust the pH to 4.5-6.5, preferably 4.5-5.5. The pH is made acidic as described above in order to cause the condensation reaction, but when the pH value is lowered from the above range, the reaction becomes faster and the amount of highly condensed compounds increases. In addition, the acidic substance used to adjust the pH changes as the condensation reaction progresses.
An acid with an acid dissociation constant pKa of 4.5 to 5.5 at 25°C is used so that PH changes are difficult to occur and a product of the desired quality can be stably obtained. This acid is
Any pKa can be used as long as it satisfies the conditions, but especially citric acid, malic acid, phthalic acid,
Organic acids such as butyric acid, tartaric acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, etc. are suitable.

The condensation reaction is 40% considering the reaction rate and degree of condensation.

The resulting condensation reaction product is in the form of a cream or slurry, which is dried by various conventional methods to produce a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer product. At this time, the drying temperature is preferably 130°C or lower. Furthermore, when producing a chemical fertilizer using the produced slow-release nitrogen fertilizer, a dried product may be used, or a chemical fertilizer may be produced using a product before drying.

The method of the present invention makes it possible to easily control the degree of condensation of urea/formaldehyde condensates, which has been difficult in the past, by performing the condensation reaction under the above specific reaction conditions, and in particular under milder conditions than in conventional methods. It is industrially excellent because it can provide a urea/formaldehyde condensate suitable as an effective nitrogen fertilizer.
