Relevance:

The
current state of the global coal industry and Kazakhstan shows a decrease in
the competitiveness of coal compared to other energy sources. As practice
shows, increasing the profitability of coal enterprises and reducing
environmental and economic damage is possible if the potential of coal is used
to the fullest extent, including over-coal and sub-coal components, as well as
coal waste during mining. Of particular importance are the technologies of deep
processing not only of coal, but also of overburden, enrichment tailings with
the production of high value-added products and intermediates.

The economic feasibility of the development of
coal chemistry is determined by the level of prices for raw materials and
products. For example, 1 ton of brown coal from the Maikubenskoye deposit costs
45–50 dollars in market conditions, then the cost of 1 ton of humic substances
obtained from coal as a result of mechanochemical and electrophysical effects
can be from 1,500–5,000 thousand dollars on the international market from the
purity of the products. Realizing these principles and the role of organic
production in the health of the population, the European Union recently outlined
plans by 2030 to reduce the use of chemical pesticides by 50%, mineral
fertilizers by 25% and increase the share of organic farming in the structure
of the European agricultural industry up to 25%.

Currently, organic production
is practiced in 181 countries on an area of 71.5 million hectares, and the
global market for organic products is estimated at 115 billion US dollars. In
Kazakhstan, organic fertilizer is used in 300 thousand hectares of land, while
the grown crop is exported to Germany and Russia at high prices (2 times more).
The market for organic biological products in Kazakhstan is quite large.

Recently, organo-mineral microfertilizers
containing potassium and/or sodium humates with the addition of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn,
Mo, Co, and B in chelated form have been considered promising. I must say that
microfertilizers based on synthetic ligands (EDTA, DTPA, EDDGA) are usually
used for the same purposes. They are effective, but their industrial production
uses both monochloroacetic acid and ethylenediamine obtained from chlorinated
hydrocarbons. Of course, such production is unsafe for humans and the
environment.

One of
the promising ways to solve these problems is the use of humic fertilizers
(humates) based on polyelectrolyte acids from brown coals of Kazakhstan.

In polyelectrolyte acids, there are both
positively charged functional groups: peptide (-CO-NH-), azo groups
(-N=N-), amines (-NH2, -NH-, >N-),
amides (-CO-NH2), imines (>C=NH), and negatively charged:
alcohol, phenolic and hydroxyquinone hydroxyls (-OH), aldehyde, ketone and
quinone carbonyls (>C=0), carboxyls (-COOH), methoxyls (-O-CH3
)  and some others. In other words, humic
acids are polyfunctional polyelectrolytes, more precisely, polyampholytes.

In connection with the above, the proposed project
is aimed at developing a highly efficient technology for obtaining
multifunctional new modified organic biological products (MOBs) based on
polyelectrolyte humic acids.

Thus, humic substances include humic acids
(humic acids, including black and brown, fulvic acids and hymatomelanic acids),
humin and melanin substances. The classification of HSs is based on their
difference associated with the extraction of these compounds from natural
objects by various solvents.

The idea of ​​creating new modified
biopreparations of organic origin based on humic polyelectrolyte acids obtained
from coals of Kazakhstan is a new and promising direction in development not
only in the agricultural sector, but also in non-ferrous metallurgy, environmental
protection for water purification from heavy metals and extraction of metals
from aqueous solutions. The substituents are dominated by carboxyl, hydroxyl,
methoxyl and alkyl groups. In addition to the frame part, humic substances also
have a peripheral part, enriched with polysaccharide and polypeptide fragments.
We will be able to strengthen the actions of functional groups in a targeted
manner.

Due to the presence of
donor-acceptor groups, humic polyelectrolyte acids can have a wide range of
applications in various industries. Humic molecules consist of two building
blocks that differ in chemical nature: an aromatic framework and a
carbohydrate-peptide periphery. Modification of polyelectrolyte acids with
targeted metal nanoparticles increases the activity and water solubility of the
resulting products.

Obtaining
modified biological preparations based on humic polyelectrolyte acids, without
subjecting the humic framework to decomposition, and thereby enhancing the main
positive properties.

Purpose: development of technologies and organization of pilot production of
modified organic biological products (MOB) with various components based on
chelate complexes obtained from coal and use in crop production for growing
environmentally friendly organic products.

The main objective of the project is to develop an environmentally
friendly technology and organize the production of biological products and
conduct tests to determine the effectiveness of the effect of chelated complex
biological products (NPK, Si, Ca, Mn, Co, B, S, Fe). Study of the chemical
composition, functional composition of polyelectrolyte acids (humic, fulvic,
hymatomelanic), the mechanism of interaction of metal nanoparticles in the
formation of chelate complexes, the study of thermophysical, physicochemical,
biochemical, biological properties of modified biological products and the
mechanism of action on plants. Approbation and field trials to determine the
effectiveness of the obtained chelate complex biological products for grain and
vegetable crops on various soils of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

            The
scientific novelty
of this work lies in
obtaining a biological product with microelements in the form of a chelate
complex from polyelectrolyte acids using mechanical activation and
ultradispersion from coal waste.

            Scope of fertilizer: peasant, greenhouse farms; organizations and companies engaged in the
cultivation of various agricultural.

            Expected
results:
The implementation of the project will help improve the food
security of the country, reduce the dependence of Kazakh consumers on imported
biofertilizers. The use of modified organic fertilizers will effectively
improve the quality and increase the yield of agricultural products, in any
soil and climatic zones, on depleted and polluted soils, and will also help
preserve and increase soil fertility.

            Achieved
results:
A technique for modifying the carbohydrate-peptide peripheral
group and the aromatic framework of polyelectrolyte humic acids with
nanoparticles of metal oxides and minerals has been developed.

            The main result of this project is
the development of technological regulations and the organization of a pilot
plant with a complete technological chain of biopreparations from
polyelectrolyte acids from coal. Obtaining a quality certificate and technical
conditions for the production of pilot batches of organic biological products
based on polyelectrolyte acids.
