Preparation, Features, and Efficiency of Nanocomposite Fertilisers Based on Glauconite and Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6080. [PMID: 37763358 PMCID: PMC10532873 DOI: 10.3390/ma16186080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
This paper studies the chemical and mechanochemical preparation of glauconite with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) nanocomposites with a ratio of 9:1 in the vol.% and wt.%, respectively. The methods include X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis with a quadruple mass spectrometer. The manufactured nanocomposites keep the flaky glauconite structure. Some glauconite unit structures have been thickened due to minimal nitrogen (ammonium) intercalation into the interlayer space. The globular, granular, or pellet mineral particles of nanocomposites can be preserved via chemical techniques. Globular and micro-aggregate particles in nanocomposites comprise a thin film of adsorbed ADP. The two-step mechanochemical method makes it possible to slightly increase the proportion of adsorbed (up to 3.2%) and intercalated (up to 6.0%) nutrients versus chemical ways. Nanocomposites prepared via chemical methods consist of glauconite (90%), adsorbed (1.8-3.6%), and intercalated (3.0-3.7%) substances of ADP. Through the use of a potassium-containing clay mineral as an inhibitor, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), nanocomposite fertilisers of controlled action were obtained. Targeted and controlled release of nutrients such as phosphate, ammonium, and potassium are expected due to various forms of nutrients on the surface, in the micropores, and in the interlayer space of glauconite. This is confirmed via the stepwise dynamics of the release of ammonium, nitrate, potassium, and phosphate from their created nanocomposites. These features of nanocomposites contribute to the stimulation of plant growth and development when fertilisers are applied to the soil.

Abstract
Starch, as a widely available renewable resource, has the potential to be used in the production of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) that support sustainable agriculture. These CRFs can be formed by incorporating nutrients through coating or absorption, or by chemically modifying the starch to enhance its ability to carry and interact with nutrients. This review examines the various methods of creating starch-based CRFs, including coating, chemical modification, and grafting with other polymers. In addition, the mechanisms of controlled release in starch-based CRFs are discussed. Overall, the potential benefits of using starch-based CRFs in terms of resource efficiency and environmental protection are highlighted.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13030576.

Abstract
Iodine is a nuclide of crucial concern in radioactive waste management. Nanomaterials selectively adsorb iodine from water; however, the efficient application of nanomaterials in engineering still needs to be developed for radioactive wastewater deiodination. Artemia egg shells possess large surface groups and connecting pores, providing a new biomaterial to remove contaminants. Based on the Artemia egg shell-derived biochar (AES biochar) and in situ precipitation and reduction of cuprous, we synthesized a novel nanocomposite, namely porous biochar-confined nano-Cu2O/Cu0 (C-Cu). The characterization of C-Cu confirmed that the nano-Cu2O/Cu0 was dispersed in the pores of AES biochar, serving in the efficient and selective adsorption of iodide and iodate ions from water. The iodide ion removal by C-Cu when equilibrated for 40 min exhibited high removal efficiency over the wide pH range of 4 to 10. Remarkable selectivity towards both iodide and iodate ions of C-Cu was permitted against competing anions (Cl-/NO3-/SO42-) at high concentrations. The applicability of C-Cu was demonstrated by a packed column test with treated effluents of 1279 BV. The rapid and selective removal of iodide and iodate ions from water is attributed to nanoparticles confined on the AES biochar and pore-facilitated mass transfer. Combining the advantages of the porous biochar and nano-Cu2O/Cu0, the use of C-Cu offers a promising method of iodine removal from water in engineering applications.
