摘要: Weathered coal is known to have potential inhibitory effects on urease activity, thus reducing the loss of nitrogen from fertilizer such as ammonia. This means that it can be used as a urea enhancer to promote urea utilization efficiency. However, the variation in its composition and structure has impeded the optimal utilization of this resource. In this study, we collected Chinese weathered coal from six representative geographical locations and analyzed its elemental and substance composition, as well as determined its chemical structure via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and investigated its effects on urease (soybean meal) activity. The results showed evident variation in the composition and structure among the different weathered coal samples, especially in the pH values, humic acid and ash content, and aromaticity. All six weathered coal samples significantly inhibited urease activity, and the inhibitory effect was enhanced with the elevated proportion of weathered coal introduced to urea. When the additive proportion of weathered coal increased, the weathered coal, characterized as having a higher humic acid content and a more aliphatic structure, showed a more rapid increase in the urease activity inhibition rate, while there was only a slight effect when the weathered coal had a low humic acid content and high atomicity. Therefore, the former type of weathered coal was more sensitive to the additive proportion. Furthermore, there was no consistent rule when the same proportion of weathered coal from different geographic locations was blended into urea, which might be attributable to other unexplored factors.
