Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process of preparing a urea blend fertilizer composition, comprising the steps of treating the urea granule coated with NBPT with an aqueous solution or dispersion of a basic component which is selected from alkaline or alkaline earth salts of C 8 to C 50 fatty acid.
- the present invention further provide a bulk blending fertilizer composition comprising the urea blend fertilizer composition.
- Urea is the most common nitrogen-containing fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all nitrogen-containing fertilizers in common use (46%) . Its consumption worldwide has been considerably increased, from about 20 million tons in the early seventies to about 100 million tons at the beginning of the twenty first century. Nitrogen is a basic element for any living system as a constituent of protein.
- Urea is first hydrolyzed in the soil under the action of an enzyme, commonly called urease, to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide.
- Ureases are found in numerous bacteria, fungi, algae, plants and some invertebrates, as well as in soils, as a soil enzyme.
- Urea hydrolysis tends to increase the pH of its environment as the ammonia is dissolved into the water in the soil, and part of the ammonia can also be released into the atmosphere, a process called ammonia volatilization, thus becoming unavailable for the plant. About 50 weight%of nitrogen can sometimes be lost as a result of the volatilization of ammonia, all depending on the soil type, water content, pH, climate conditions, etc.
- Urease inhibitors are compounds that are capable of temporarily reducing the activity of the enzyme and slow down the rate at which urea is hydrolyzed, avoiding peaks of ammonia concentration and therefore limiting the losses to the air.
- N- (n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide which will be referred to herein as NBPT.
- This compound is actually the precursor for the active compound N- (n-butyl) phosphoric triamide (NBPT) , obtained through oxidation of the thio-compound, but it is the thio-compound that is commonly produced, sold and used.
- phosphoric triamide compounds When combined with a urea-containing fertilizer, phosphoric triamide compounds reduce the rate at which urea is hydrolysed to ammonia in the soil.
- the benefits that are realized as a result of the delayed urea hydrolysis include the following: (1) nutrient nitrogen is available to the plant over a longer period of time, (2) excessive build-up of ammonia in the soil following the application of the urea-containing fertilizer is avoided, (3) the potential for nitrogen loss through ammonia volatilization is reduced, (4) the potential for damage by high levels of ammonia to seedlings and young plants is reduced, (5) plant uptake of nitrogen is increased, and (6) an increase in crop yields is attained. While phosphoric triamide compounds do not directly influence the rate of ammonium nitrification, they do control the levels of ammonium which are subject to the nitrification process and thereby indirectly controls the levels of nitrate nitrogen in the soil.
- the urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide either applied as a liquid or as a solid, either applied on the urea granule or mixed in the urea granule is not stable over a prolonged period of time when in contact with urea blend fertilizer, despite the fact that a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide is generally disclosed for use with said urea blend fertilizers.
- the urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide is sensitive to acid, its decomposition process will speed up when mixed with some acidic fertilizers like ammonium sulfate.
- US 2010/0206031 A1 (Whitehurst) describes a composition consisting of NBPT in a basic organic amine alcohol solvent, coated onto a blend of urea-particles and mono ammonium phosphate particles.
- WO2017100507A1 (Koch) disclosed a method of treating urea particulate and NBPT with basic component, calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate and the like, wherein the basic component is incorporated into the mixture either by powder mixing or coating by means of wax.

Description
The present invention relates to a process of preparing a urea blend fertilizer composition, comprising the steps of treating the urea granule coated with NBPT with an aqueous solution or dispersion of a basic component which is selected from alkaline or alkaline earth salts of C
8 to C
50 fatty acid. The present invention further provide a bulk blending fertilizer composition comprising the urea blend fertilizer composition.
Urea is the most common nitrogen-containing fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all nitrogen-containing fertilizers in common use (46%) . Its consumption worldwide has been considerably increased, from about 20 million tons in the early seventies to about 100 million tons at the beginning of the twenty first century. Nitrogen is a basic element for any living system as a constituent of protein.
Unfortunately, urea nitrogen cannot be assimilated directly by the plants and needs to be converted through hydrolysis into ammonium and nitrification into nitrate. Urea is first hydrolyzed in the soil under the action of an enzyme, commonly called urease, to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ureases are found in numerous bacteria, fungi, algae, plants and some invertebrates, as well as in soils, as a soil enzyme. Urea hydrolysis tends to increase the pH of its environment as the ammonia is dissolved into the water in the soil, and part of the ammonia can also be released into the atmosphere, a process called ammonia volatilization, thus becoming unavailable for the plant. About 50 weight%of nitrogen can sometimes be lost as a result of the volatilization of ammonia, all depending on the soil type, water content, pH, climate conditions, etc.
The availability of nitrogen, originating from urea, to the root system of plants can be improved by combining a urea-containing fertilizer (i.e. by incorporation or addition) with a urease inhibitor. Urease inhibitors are compounds that are capable of temporarily reducing the activity of the enzyme and slow down the rate at which urea is hydrolyzed, avoiding peaks of ammonia concentration and therefore limiting the losses to the air. There are many compounds that can inhibit urease, but only a few that are non-toxic, effective at low concentrations, chemically stable enough and able to be combined with urea-containing fertilizers.
Among the most effective urease inhibitors known today are the phosphoric triamide compounds, first disclosed in US 4,530,714 (Allied Corporation, 1985) . An example of an effective urease inhibitor, disclosed in said patent is N- (n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide, which will be referred to herein as NBPT. This compound is actually the precursor for the active compound N- (n-butyl) phosphoric triamide (NBPT) , obtained through oxidation of the thio-compound, but it is the thio-compound that is commonly produced, sold and used.
When combined with a urea-containing fertilizer, phosphoric triamide compounds reduce the rate at which urea is hydrolysed to ammonia in the soil. The benefits that are realized as a result of the delayed urea hydrolysis include the following: (1) nutrient nitrogen is available to the plant over a longer period of time, (2) excessive build-up of ammonia in the soil following the application of the urea-containing fertilizer is avoided, (3) the potential for nitrogen loss through ammonia volatilization is reduced, (4) the potential for damage by high levels of ammonia to seedlings and young plants is reduced, (5) plant uptake of nitrogen is increased, and (6) an increase in crop yields is attained. While phosphoric triamide compounds do not directly influence the rate of ammonium nitrification, they do control the levels of ammonium which are subject to the nitrification process and thereby indirectly controls the levels of nitrate nitrogen in the soil.
However, the urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, either applied as a liquid or as a solid, either applied on the urea granule or mixed in the urea granule is not stable over a prolonged period of time when in contact with urea blend fertilizer, despite the fact that a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide is generally disclosed for use with said urea blend fertilizers. Moreover, the urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide is sensitive to acid, its decomposition process will speed up when mixed with some acidic fertilizers like ammonium sulfate.
Several methods has been developed to deal with this problem. For example, US 2010/0206031 A1 (Whitehurst) describes a composition consisting of NBPT in a basic organic amine alcohol solvent, coated onto a blend of urea-particles and mono ammonium phosphate particles. WO2017100507A1 (Koch) disclosed a method of treating urea particulate and NBPT with basic component, calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate and the like, wherein the basic component is incorporated into the mixture either by powder mixing or coating by means of wax.
Summary of the Invention
It is well known that water will result the decomposition of the urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, so moisture shall be avoided which can be seen in Koch’s patent wherein the basic component is incorporated into the fertilizer mixture without using water. However, it is surprisingly found by the inventors that the use of water did not result in significant decomposition of the urease inhibitor. Furthermore, it is easier to handle (no powder dust) with the use of an environmental friendly liquid system (use of water) .
