In the study, the process preparation of phosphorus-humus fertilizers based on low-grade Central Kizilkum phosphorites activated using sulfuric acid in the ratio of 30-70% for decomposition of CaCO3 in the phosphorite followed by addition of activated sludge from municipal waster water was investigated.
Background: Kyzylkum phosphorite combine wastes in form of off-balanced ore (13-15% Р 2 О 5 ) and phosphorite sludge (10-12% Р 2 О 5 ) generated during the benefication of high calcareous Central Kyzylkum phosphorite in recent years. Total volume of produced phosphorite has already reached 13 billion tonnes. One of actual and rational way for processing low-grade phosphorites is their usage during the preparation of composts based on chicken manure. Mechanism of activation is phosphorus transfer from low-grade phosphorite into acceptable plant form during composition with chicken manure and transformation of manure organic matter into humic substance consider as nitrogen and organic matter losses in atmosphere. Purpose: Research on the effect of organic-mineral fertilizer obtained from chicken manure and mineralized mass from Central Kyzylkum phosphorite by composting. Methodology: Compost was made by mixing chicken manure with mineralized mass of Central Kyzylkum phosphorite in wide range of weight ratio. The composition of resulting composts by world famous methods depending on time process has been studied.
For the granulation of nitrate-sulfate-carbonate melt, the prilling method is applied using a granulation tower. The composition and properties of new types of fertilizers were studied. It is shown that with the ratio NH4NO3: СаСО3: (NH4)2SO4 = 100: 24: 1 the product contains 28,03% - N, 0,50% - SO3, 10% - СаО and has a granule strength of 6.03 MPa, which is much higher than the strength of pure NH4NO3 granules (1.32 MPa). The absorption of pure AN granules is 4.82 g. With an increase in the proportion of chalk and ammonium sulfate to the NH4NO3: СаСО3: (NH4)2SO4 = 100: 24: 1 ratio, the absorbency of the LAN granules is 2.57g.
The article presents the results of decomposition of substandard phosphorites at a non-full rate of nitric acid (10-50% of stoichiometry on CaO), followed by its processing by bird droppings in various ratios. The optimal parameters for obtaining organic mineral fertilizers are determined, the technological scheme is given and the material balance is calculated, the possibility of obtaining nitrogen-phosphorus-humus fertilizers based on substandard phosphorites and bird droppings is shown, by composition (wt.%): P2O5 total - 6.53; Р2О5 acceptable - 4.04; СаО total - 17.12; N - 4.21; organic matter - 28.38; humic acids - 9,12, fulvic acids - 5,25, water-soluble organic substances - 4,2; pН – 5,93.
The article discusses the current problems of enrichment of low-grade phosphorites by the thermal method as well as the production of mineral fertilizers using various acids. An alternative biotechnological method for producing organomineral fertilizers using neutrophilic, heterotrophic microorganisms of activated sludge at a biochemical treatment station for municipal wastewater for the processing of low-grade phosphorites and the production of phosphorus-containing organomineral fertilizers is proposed.In this case, a natural acceleration of the processes of the phosphorus cycle in nature occurs, which does not pollute the environment. A comparative description of IR spectroscopic descriptions of the results of microbiological treatment and treatment with sulfuric and nitric acids showed distinctive characteristics of the appearance of functional groups, which showed the transfer of valuable phosphorus components during acid treatment to sediment and their irrevocable loss in the form of waste.The studies will serve the utilization of low-grade phosphorites unused in the production, the production of a new type of organomineral fertilizer using and recycling of human waste (in most countries, incinerated), will lead to a gradual improvement in the structural composition of soils.Human vital activity waste and low-grade phosphorites have zero cost, the applied technology of biochemical treatment of domestic wastewater is available in all major cities that can be used to enrich phosphorites with organic matter.
