Patent number: 11839864Abstract: The invention discloses a humic acid type adsorption material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The humic acid type adsorption material is prepared by taking carboxymethyl cellulose or salts thereof, humate and montmorillonite as raw materials and adding a monomer, a cross-linking agent and an initiator through aqueous solution polymerization. The synthesized porous material is great in specific surface area, can quickly get close to water molecules in water to form hydrogen bonds, and finally achieves the purpose of removing organic dye pollutants through electrostatic attraction effect with dye molecules. The humic acid type adsorption material is low in raw material price, is simple in synthesis process, and is green and environmentally friendly.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Shaanxi University of Science & TechnologyInventors: Yuhua Niu, Xingxing Han, Liangxian Huang, Yonghui Sun, Jie Song, Xiaobin Zhu, Yangyang Wang, Xuan Zhao

Publication number: 20220264902Abstract: A humic acid type fruit bagging-free film agent and an application thereof are provided. The humic acid type fruit bagging-free film agent is prepared by: dissolving sodium alginate into water, adding TWEEN-20 and SPAN-20 after stirring evenly, and stirring for mixing to form sodium alginate solution; dissolving humic acid potassium into water, adding glycerin then mixing to form humic acid potassium solution; stirring the sodium alginate solution and the humic acid potassium solution evenly to form agent A; and dissolving calcium chloride into water to obtain agent B. When in use, the agent A is sprayed onto a fruit surface, and then agent B is sprayed. It can not only be antibacterial, anti- freezing and pest-resistant, but also shorten film-forming duration and have better film-forming property. Shading performance is improved, and problems of rough fruit surface, serious rust and dim color caused by using paper bagging can be solved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Yuhua Niu, Long Li, Jie Song, Yonghui Sun, Liangxian Huang, Yuying Han, Wenchao Wang

Publication number: 20220053776Abstract: The invention discloses a fulvic acid sterilization deodorant as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of deodorants. Natural polymer compound fulvic acid is modified to prepare a fulvic acid surfactant which is compounded with plant extract to prepare the deodorant with good sterilization and deodorization effects. The fulvic acid with strong hydrophilicity is enhanced in surface activity by introducing a lipophilic end through reaction with a cationic surfactant; an emulsifier is introduced to the fulvic acid solution and the plant extract with strong volatility to prolong interaction between deodorant and odor molecules, achieving an efficient removal purpose. The preparation method is simple in process and low in cost, adopts easily-available raw materials, and can achieve large-scale production.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Yuhua Niu, Xiaobin Zhu, Changhui Zhang, Jie Song, Xingxing Han, Yufang Dou, Yangyang Wang, Xuan Zhao
