Abstract

The slowly released potassium fertilizer was developed by mixing fly ash with KOH, anthracite coal powder, KCI, $K_2CO_3$ and $Mg(OH)_2$ as the substances for accelerating calcination. Measuring proper ratios of raw materials, we found that the anthracite coal powder was 12 percent and $Mg(OH)_2$ was two to three percent. The optimal calcination temperature and time were proved to be $850^{\circ}C$ and 30 minutes, respectively, however, the trial product with lower temperature and shorter time in calcination had low quality. The K solubility of the product was very low compared to that of the KCl fertilizer.

지효성 K비료는 KOH, KCl 등 속효성 K원료와 Fly ash중 난용성 K를 이용하였고 소성시 보조제로서 부연탄가루, $Mg(OH)_2$, $K_2CO_3$와 Borax를 혼합하여 제조하였다. 목표 K함량에 맞게 원료와 보조제 혼합비율이 결정되었으며 무연탄가루와 $Mg(OH)_2$의 적정 배합비율은 각각 12%, 3%이었으며 소성온도는 $850^{\circ}C$, 소성시간은 30분이 적정선으로 판명되었다. 시제품은 소성온도가 낮고 소성시간이 짧은 경우 시제품의 특성에 부적합하였다. 제조된 시제품의 K성분은 지효화되어 목표치에 부합되었다.
