Novel Anticaking Materials of Bentonite, Biological Carbon and Abandoned Animal/Plant Oil in Compound Fertilizer

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: A novel anticaking material was prepared from from Bentonite, Biological Carbon and abandoned animal/plant oil in this study. In order to determine the optimal dosage of bentonite, biological carbon and abandoned animal/plant oil, the experiments has been performed systematically. The effect of anticaking materials was described by caking ratio. BAC was prepared by 30g of bentonite, 5g of abandoned animal/plant oil, 2.0g of biological carbon. With dosage of BAC is 10g / 200g (compound fertilizer), In the 30 days storage period, preparation of BAC can achieve the requirement of the anti-caking. However, the anti-caking effect is weaker as the longer storage time and Anti-caking cycle of BAC is shorter.
