Factors affecting N release of urea from reactive layer coated urea

An experimental fertilizer called reactive layer coated urea (RLCU) has been developed by coating urea with a mixture of diisocyanate and polyol in the presence of a catalyst. The hard, durable layer that is formed on the granule conveys slow-release character to the product. A series of soil incubation tests were conducted under simulated upland conditions for periods up to 56 days to study the effect of factors such as temperature, pH, soil moisture, and organic C additions on N release. The N release rate from RLCU was shown to be increased with increasing temperature and decreasing coating thickness. It was unaffected by the addition of lime to raise the pH or organic carbon sources to increase microbial activity. Although a slight effect of soil moisture was noted, it was not pronounced. Urea release tended to be in two stages — a constant diffusive stage in which, it is postulated, urea was still dissolving within the granule and diffusing to the soil at a constant rate and a slower logarithmic stage where the rate of release decreased with time.     

Parametric study of tumbling fluidized bed to evaluate nitrogen release characteristics of biopolymer-coated controlled release urea

To impede nitrogen loss due to leaching and NH₃ volatilization, pristine urea particles are coated with synthetic polymers such as poly(acrylic acid) and polyethylene for the controlled release of nitrogen. However, due to nonbiodegradability and environmental and economic issues, these synthetic polymers are replaced with cheap, biodegradable, and green coating materials. In this study, borax-modified starch biopolymer is used to produce controlled release urea (CRU) in a tumbling fluidized bed. Central composite rotatable design is used to study the interactive effect of process parameters on time and kinetics of nitrogen release. Nitrogen release in distilled water is monitored by the UV–Vis spectrophotometer and soil burial test is used to observe release in soil. The optimum values of process parameters and response objectives generated by the analysis of variance are validated by triplicates of confirmation runs and the % error is reported as a precision indicator. A mathematical model is used to determine the diffusion coefficient of nitrogen release. Biopolymer-coated urea results in much better release performance when compared with starch-based CRU reported in the literature. The most influential process parameter both for time and kinetics of nitrogen release appears to be the coating time. Release time increases linearly with coating time and the diffusion coefficient decreases with increase in coating time. The kinetic study reveals that some of the samples followed non-Fickian diffusion and others followed Case-II transport during the release of nitrogen.

Controlled release study of carbaryl insecticide from calcium alginate and nickel alginate hydrogel beads

In this study, controlled release formulations for reducing environmental impact of pesticides have been produced by encapsulating as a model pesticide carbaryl (Carb) in the alginate beads. The various hydrogel bead formulations were prepared by the ionotropic crosslinking of sodium alginate (NaAlg) with calcium and nickel ions. The surface morphology of prepared beads was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM confirmed the spherical nature and surface morphology of the particles. Bead characteristics, such as carbaryl entrapment efficiency, particle size, equilibrium swelling degree, and carbaryl release kinetics, were determined. The effects of the bead preparation conditions such as crosslinker concentration and type, carbaryl/sodium alginate (Carb/NaAlg) ratio and percentage of NaAlg on the carbaryl release from the calcium alginate (Ca‐Alg) and nickel alginate (Ni‐Alg) beads were investigated in distilled water at 25°C. It was observed that carbaryl release from the Ca‐Alg beads was slower than that of Ni‐Alg beads. The release results indicated that carbaryl release from both of the Ca‐Alg and Ni‐Alg beads decreases with the increasing crosslinker concentration, Carb/NaAlg ratio and percentage of NaAlg. The highest carbaryl release was found to be 100% for the Ni‐Alg beads at 3 days whereas the lowest carbaryl release was found to be 67% for the Ca‐Alg beads at 21 days. The swelling measurements of the beads were also in consistent with the carbaryl release results. The carbaryl release from most of the bead formulations followed Case II transport. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Release of urea from cellulosic hydrogel coated urea granule: Modeling effect of crosslink density and pH triggering

ABSTRACT

Urea granules were coated with CMC-g-cl-PAA hydrogel by in situ spraying and polymerization technique with mean thickness of 0.24 mm. Water absorption capacity of hydrogel coated urea granules varied from 18.67 to 217.33 g/g depending on pH. Urea release was extended due to hydrogel coating and kinetic analysis at different pH (4.0, 7.0 and 9.2) revealed a sigmoid function as best fit model. The coated urea granules showed pH triggered release property with higher rate in alkaline medium and slower in acidic medium. The prepared hydrogel coated urea granules may find its application in integrated water and nutrient management strategies in agriculture.     

Antifouling effect of hydrogen peroxide release from enzymatic marine coatings: Exposure testing under equatorial and Mediterranean conditions

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) may be considered an environmentally friendly antifouling alternative to common biocides such as Cu₂O and various organic compounds. In this work, the efficiency of antifouling coatings releasing hydrogen peroxide via enzyme-mediated conversion of starch, under Mediterranean and equatorial climatic conditions, is investigated. During seawater exposure of the coatings, starch is first converted to glucose by glucoamylase (rate-controlling step) and subsequently glucose is rapidly oxidised by hexose oxidase in a reaction producing hydrogen peroxide.     

Uncertainty analysis of heat release rate measurement from oxygen consumption calorimetry

Oxygen consumption calorimetry remains the most widespread method for the measurement of the heat release rate from experimental fire tests. In a first step, this paper examines by theoretical analysis the uncertainty associated with this measurement, especially when CO and soot corrections are applied. Application of theoretical equations is presented for chlorobenzene which leads to high values of CO and soot yields. It appears that the uncertainty of CO and soot corrections are high when the fuel composition is unknown. In a second step, a theoretical analysis is provided when the simplest measurement procedure is used for oxygen consumption calorimetry. The overall uncertainty can be dominated either by the uncertainty associated with the oxygen concentration, the assumed heat of combustion, the fumes mass flow rate or the assumed combustion expansion factor depending on the oxygen depletion.

Effect of pH on the drug release rate from a new polymer–drug conjugate system

The corresponding N‐hydroximide and N‐methyl‐N‐hydroximide of poly[ethylene‐alt‐(maleic anhydride)] (weight average molecular weight (M_w) of 100–500 g mol^?1) were prepared as a new oral drug delivery system. Syntheses of N‐hydroximide and N‐methylhydroxamic acid of poly[ethylene‐alt‐(maleic anhydride)] were carried out by chemical modification of polymer with hydroxylamine and N‐methylhydroxylamine, respectively, to give water‐soluble polymers. These activated polymers were immobilized with ketoprofen in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give the corresponding water‐insoluble ketoprofen conjugates. All products were characterized by elemental analysis as well as Fourier transform infrared and ¹H NMR spectra. In vitro release of ketoprofen was studied by measuring UV absorption at λ_max = 260 nm as a function of time. This study demonstrated the potential use of N‐hydroximide and N‐methyl‐N‐hydroxamic acid of poly[ethylene‐alt‐(maleic anhydride)] as a drug delivery system. Controlled release was studied at different pH values and at different temperatures. At physiological temperature, the amount of drug released increased with increasing pH. The copolymer‐drug adducts released the drug very slowly at the low pH found in the stomach thus protecting the drug from the action of high acid conditions and resident digestive enzymes. These N‐hydroxamic acid polymer‐drug conjugates were found to be potentially useful in the delivery of macromolecular drugs to targeted sites in the lower gastrointestinal tract and the colon area.

Quantitative GC analysis of secondary alcohol pheromones: determination of release rate of red palm weevil,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus,pheromone from lures

Aliphatic secondary alcohols are components of several aggregation pheromones of important beetle and weevil pests. Some of these pheromones are used frequently for the monitoring and mass trapping of the relevant insects. We encountered severe difficulties in direct GC quantitative analysis of these compounds. Therefore, we developed a simple GC analysis of secondary alcohols converting them to trifluoroacetyl derivatives and using secondary alcohol acetates as internal standards. This method was applied for the quantitative analysis of several secondary alcohols, including the aggregation pheromone components of the almond bark beetle and the red palm weevil. The release rate of the latter pheromone from commercial lures was also determined.
