Method for preparing boron fertilizer
View Patent ↗A method for preparing a boron fertilizer, including: (1) heating boric acid to a temperature of 180-200° C., maintaining the temperature for 20-30 min for dehydration of the boric acid to yield pyroboric acid; and (2) cooling down the pyroboric acid to a temperature of 40-60° C., crushing, and screening to yield a powdered, weakly acidic, high-content boron fertilizer. The method is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and low in cost. The resulting boron fertilizer is weakly acidic, fast in dissolution rate, and has excellent in compounding performance
1. A method for preparing a boron fertilizer, the method comprising the following steps:
a) heating boric acid to a temperature of less than 200° C. and not less than 180° C., maintaining the temperature for 20-30 min for dehydration of the boric acid to yield pyroboric acid; and
b) cooling down the pyroboric acid to a temperature of 40-60° C., crushing, and screening to yield the boron fertilizer, wherein the boron fertilizer has a pure boron content of between 22.5% and 23.5%.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a high-speed pulverizer or a pneumatic pulverizer is used for the crushing and a 100-200 mesh screen is used for the screening.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the boron fertilizer is added with one or more fertilizer selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, and molybdenum.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the boron fertilizer is added with a bactericide.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the boron fertilizer is added with a pesticide.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the boron fertilizer is added with one or more fertilizer selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, and molybdenum.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the boron fertilizer is added with a bactericide.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the boron fertilizer is added with a pesticide.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature for dehydration of the boric acid is 190° C.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature for dehydration of the boric acid is 180° C.
