Anionic zeolite nanomaterial – environmentally safe complex fertilizer with prolonged action.
2021
The development and implementation of effective and cost-effective environmental technologies is one of the priority problems in Georgia for the rehabilitation of soil fertility and natural vegetation cover. The paper proposes a new method for nanomodification of natural zeolite - clinoptilolite, based on the introduction of the appropriate salt into the structure of the zeolite so that the resulting material does not lose its zeolite structure and acquires both cation-exchange and anion-exchange properties. Some amount of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4), potassium nitrate (KNO3) and cations mixed with them (Fe, Ca, Mn, Zn, Mg, Cu, Mo, Co, Sn) were introduced by fusion method into the clinoptilolite structure. Only the amount of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate changed, while the amount of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and cations remained unchanged. Accordingly, zeolite nanomaterials of various composition, structure and properties were obtained, which were studied by the methods of chemical, IR spectroscopic and X-ray diffractometric analyses. The obtained zeolite nanomaterials as fertilizers of complex composition and long-term action were used to study their effect on wheat productivity both in the open field and in laboratory conditions. Zeolite nanomaterials of three different compositions were studied.
