Preparation and properties of chitosan-coated NPK compound fertilizer with controlled-release and water-retention
Open accessAbstract
Abstract To improve the utilization of fertilizer and water resource at the same time, a new type chitosan-coated nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer with controlled-release and water-retention (CFCW) was prepared, which possessed the three-layer structure. Its core was water-soluble nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) fertilizer granular, the inner coating was chitosan (CTS), and the outer coating was poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) (P(AA-co-AM)) superabsorbent polymer. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer and element analysis results showed that the product contained 7.98% potassium (shown by K 2 O), 8.14% phosphorus (shown by P 2 O 5 ), and 8.06% nitrogen. The synthesis conditions of inversion suspension polymerization were studied systematically. The water absorbency of the product was 70 times its own weight if it was allowed to swell in tap water at room temperature for 90 min. The nutrients slow release behaviors of the CFCW in soil and water-retention capacity of the soil with CFCW were investigated. A possible slow release mechanism was proposed and the release rate factor K and the release exponent n of nutrients in CFCW was calculated. This product with good controlled-release and water-retention capacity, being degradable in soil and environment-friendly, could be especially useful in agricultural and horticultural applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
