What is Calcium Phytate CAS 3615-82-5?
Among the numerous compounds in the field of chemistry, calcium phytate is an extremely special existence. It is a complex salt formed by phytic acid reacting with metal ions such as calcium and magnesium through specific chemical reactions. In the industry, it is also commonly known as phytic acid salt. This substance has an extremely wide distribution in the plant kingdom, existing in almost all plants and being one of the main components of plant seeds. Especially in some common agricultural by-products, such as rice bran, wheat bran and oilseeds, the content of calcium phytate is particularly rich.
Calcium phytate possesses a series of unique chemical properties and functions. Among them, the antioxidant function enables it to play a positive role in responding to oxidation reactions and effectively protect the surrounding substances from oxidative damage. Its function of complexing metal ions enables it to combine with metal ions to form a stable composite structure. With these excellent properties, calcium phytate has extensive applications in many industries. In the dry food industry, it can serve as a natural preservative, taking advantage of its antioxidant properties to extend the shelf life of dry food. In the field of medicine, it is also used in the preparation of certain drugs, playing a role in stabilizing drug components and so on. In addition, calcium phytate can also be used as a suspending agent and plays an important role in systems where substances need to be uniformly suspended in a liquid. Meanwhile, in the field of dentistry, it can also be used as a dental material to provide support for tooth treatment and restoration.
In the field of agricultural fertilizers, there is a type of fertilizer that has attracted much attention - suspension fertilizer. Suspension fertilizer, specifically speaking, refers to the process where, with the assistance of a suspending agent, water-soluble nutrients that exceed their solubility are ingeniously suspended in a liquid in the form of micro-solid particles, thereby forming a stable fertilizer system.
However, as for the existing suspended fertilizers on the market at present, the situation is not very ideal. The existing suspended fertilizers are mostly humic acid suspended fertilizers, suspended fertilizers containing elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus, etc. These suspension fertilizers often need to go through a series of complex preparation processes such as heating and chelation during the preparation process. Not only that, in the actual operation process, these techniques are rather difficult and have high requirements for both equipment and operators. Moreover, the stability of the prepared suspension fertilizer is relatively poor, which leads to problems such as stratification and sedimentation during its storage and use.
More crucially, these existing suspension fertilizers are not applicable throughout the entire growth stage of crops. At different growth stages, crops have different requirements and absorption methods for nutrients. However, the existing suspended fertilizers cannot meet this full-process nutrient supply demand, resulting in poor fertilization effects, inability to fully exert the role of fertilizers, and affecting the growth, development, yield and quality of crops.
Against this backdrop, patent CN115959944A emerged, providing a suspension fertilizer of calcium planting acid and its preparation method. The preparation process of this calcium phytate suspension fertilizer is unique. Firstly, folic acid is used to extract calcium phytate from rice bran. During the extraction process, folic acid has a specific interaction with calcium phytate in rice bran, enabling calcium phytate to be efficiently separated from rice bran.
Subsequently, the extracted calcium phytate is uniformly mixed with various components such as wetting dispersant, antifreeze, suspending agent, thickener, defoamer and water. During this process, various components cooperate with each other and play their respective roles. Wetting dispersants can better disperse calcium phytic acid in the liquid, antifreeze can ensure that the fertilizer remains in good condition in low-temperature environments, suspension agents further enhance the suspension effect of micro-solid particles, thickeners help maintain the appropriate viscosity of the fertilizer, and defoamers can eliminate the bubbles generated during the mixing process, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the fertilizer system.
Finally, the mixed materials are sheared and stirred. Through the effect of shearing force, various components are more fully integrated to form a stable calcium phytate suspension fertilizer.
The calcium phytate suspension fertilizer prepared by the present invention patent technology has many significant advantages. Its preparation process is relatively simple and does not require complex operation steps such as heating and chelation, reducing production costs and difficulties. Meanwhile, this suspension fertilizer is non-corrosive and non-irritating, and will not cause harm to equipment or human health during production and use. Moreover, it does not introduce other ions, avoiding the possible adverse effects on the soil and crops caused by the introduction of foreign ions, and truly achieving no pollution.
In practical applications, this calcium acid suspension fertilizer can be used throughout the entire growth stage of crops, and it can continuously and stably provide nutrients according to the nutritional requirements of crops at different growth stages. It has a remarkable fertilization effect, which can effectively enhance the resistance of plants, make them more robust, and strengthen their ability to resist pests, diseases and harsh environments. At the same time, it can also promote the growth of crops, increase their yield and quality, and bring greater economic and ecological benefits to agricultural production.
