Description

Mancozeb nano suspension containing triazole broad-spectrum fungicide and preparation method thereof [Technical field]

The invention belongs to the field of nano pesticides, and particularly relates to the preparation of nano suspensions with particle sizes less than 100 nanometers.

【Background technique】

Pesticides are special commodities used to control diseases, insects, and weeds in agricultural and forestry crops. They are an indispensable means of production in modern agriculture. Pesticides are a "double-edged sword" in agricultural production. They can kill diseases, insects, and weeds, but they may also cause certain harm to the environment and human body. The long-term goal of the entire industry is to continuously improve the performance of pesticide formulations and the efficiency of the use of pesticide active ingredients, thereby achieving "reduction in dosage and control of pests."

In April 2019, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) released the "Top Ten Chemical Innovations That Will Change the World in the Future" on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, with "nanopesticides" ranked first. These top ten chemical innovations were selected by five authoritative experts recruited by IUPAC from industry and academia from a series of nominations submitted by chemists around the world. They are emerging technologies between "new scientific discoveries and fully commercialized technologies", representing the most cutting-edge science and technology and development trends in the international chemical industry. They have the potential to become major chemical breakthroughs in the 21st century, and have the potential to change the world and make the earth more sustainable.

The reason why nanopesticides were selected as the top ten chemical innovation technologies in the 21st century is based on the continuous growth of the world's population. By 2050, the world's population will be close to 10 billion. In order to feed a large population, it is necessary to increase agricultural output (about 60%), and at the same time, it is necessary to minimize the environmental impact of land use. Nanopesticide particles are small in size, have higher transmission efficiency and better absorbency to the target, can significantly reduce the amount of pesticides, and are an effective tool to solve the main problems of traditional pesticide formulations (environmental pollution, accumulation of pesticides in organisms, and a significant increase in resistance to pests and diseases). Nanopesticides are the key technology of the next generation of pesticide formulations in the world, and have become a consensus in academia and industry. The development of nanopesticides is highly consistent with the strategic goals of "zero growth" and "negative growth" of pesticides and the realization of sustainable development of agricultural production and ecological environment proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China.

Mancozeb has been used internationally for more than 50 years. It has always been used in large quantities and is a protective organic sulfur fungicide with good effects. It is characterized by low toxicity, long duration, ability to kill multiple groups of pathogens, difficulty in developing resistance, and good control effects. Therefore, it is favored by the plant protection industry. The development of mancozeb fungicides has gone through a long process. The fungicidal activity of mancozeb substances was first discovered by Hester W F. In 1943, Rohm & Haas Company first synthesized mancozeb. In 1950, Rohm & Haas Company and DuPont Company jointly produced mancozeb, and mancozeb substances were continuously enriched. Mancozeb and mancozeb have long been produced and used in China, but mancozeb is a variety discovered later. It can significantly prevent and control a variety of diseases such as fruits, vegetables, and wheat. It has low toxicity and is relatively safe.

Mancozeb has become one of the important varieties of mancozeb. Its chemical name is ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate)manganese (polybasic) and zinc salt coordination compound. The cyclic chemical structure is shown in formula (1), and some people think it is a linear structure. ISO defines it as a mixture of zinc and mancozeb, containing about 20% manganese and 2.55% zinc, existing as salt. The original drug is a grayish yellow powder with a melting point of 192-204℃ (decomposition). The solubility in water is extremely low (pH 7.5, 25℃) 6.2mg/L, and it is insoluble in most organic solvents. This solubility property limits the development and application of its formulation types. It is stable under normal, dry conditions and decomposes when exposed to heat or moisture.

The bactericidal mechanism of dithiocarbamate is mainly manifested in that it reacts with the sulfhydryl group of amino acids and the enzymes of fungal cells to inactivate them, thereby interfering with the metabolism, respiration and ATP production of liposomes. It is a broad-spectrum, non-systemic fungicide with protective effects. It is used for a variety of crops such as fruit trees, ornamental vegetables, and tobacco. At the same time, it can also prevent and control a variety of important leaf fungal diseases. It is used to prevent and control early blight and late blight of potatoes and tomatoes; grape downy mildew and black rot; net spot, stripe, and large spot of wheat and corn; damping-off and seedling spot of cotton and peanuts, vegetable downy mildew, anthracnose, and blight, and has a good control effect.

Mancozeb can be compounded with a variety of pesticides to form a variety of compound preparations. However, whether used alone or in combination, due to its physical properties - it is neither soluble in water nor in organic solvents - its main dosage forms are traditional powders, wettable powders, water-dispersible granules, and suspensions. According to the existing level of pesticide preparation processing technology, the minimum size of pesticide particles in its preparations is usually more than a few microns, and the largest ones are more than ten microns or even tens of microns. The large size of mancozeb pesticide particles is not conducive to the efficacy of the drug. In addition, a certain degree of drug resistance has been generated by years of large-scale use. The current usage per unit area is large, usually 750g to 2250g/ ^hm2 of active ingredient. In this way, how to improve its efficacy and reduce its usage per unit area? It has become an important part of the research on the formulation type of this pesticide variety.

It should be made clear that the preparation of several existing pesticide formulations of mancozeb is based on the synthesis of the original drug first and then the processing of various formulations. The specific steps include: (1) original drug synthesis . It is divided into two steps: the first step is to synthesize mancozeb or mancozeb sodium, and the second step is to synthesize mancozeb. The synthesized mancozeb or mancozeb sodium is water-soluble and can be dissolved in water. Then it is subjected to salt formation and complexation reaction with manganese salt and zinc salt respectively to obtain block precipitated mancozeb. The precipitated mancozeb is neither soluble in water nor in organic solvents, and needs to be separated, washed and dried to obtain mancozeb original drug. (2) Preparation processing . The solid mancozeb original drug is used as the raw material for preparation processing. Usually, crushing, grinding, mixing and other processing are required to obtain mancozeb preparations. The above preparation process after mancozeb or mancozeb sodium needs to add corresponding production equipment and workshops, such as filters, dryers, crushers, grinders, mixers, and corresponding production processes and processing techniques. It can be found that the process from synthesizing water-soluble mancozeb or mancozeb to processing it into different dosage forms of mancozeb is both long and energy-consuming.

The traditional process flow of preparing mancozeb technical and processing it into the most common powder and wettable powder is shown in Figure 1.

Existing technology: A technical solution for preparing nano mancozeb using mancozeb as the original drug.

Chinese invention patent CN201711490378.4 "Preparation method of nano mancozeb" discloses a nano mancozeb powder dosage form. The technical feature is: a method for preparing nano-level mancozeb, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: ① preparing mancozeb: mixing mancozeb, a dispersant and a buffer solution, and then dropping a manganese salt aqueous solution at 30-50°C; after the dropping is completed, filtering, and drying the obtained filter cake I; the molar ratio of the mancozeb to the manganese salt is 1:1-1.06, and the mass ratio of the dispersant to the mancozeb is 1:12-23; the buffer solution is a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 6; the manganese salt is manganese sulfate, manganese acetate, manganese chloride, and manganese nitrate; the dispersant is at least one of calcium lignin sulfonate, sodium lignin sulfonate, sodium lignin silicate, sodium lignin tripolyphosphate, sodium phenethylphenol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, sodium naphthalenesulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate, and a dispersant D-450; ② adding water to the dried filter cake I obtained in step ① at 40-50°C to form a mancozeb suspension, stirring evenly, and dropping a zinc salt aqueous solution, with a molar ratio of zinc salt to manganese salt of 1:1. ratio; the zinc salt is zinc sulfate, zinc acetate, zinc chloride, zinc nitrate; after the addition is completed, the filter is filtered and the resulting filter cake II is dried to obtain nano-grade mancozeb.

The shortcomings of the above technical solution are:

(1) The reaction and metal ion exchange (complexation) are still carried out according to the traditional mancozeb reaction route, and the obtained product is still mancozeb that is insoluble in water and organic solvents. This mancozeb appears in the form of filter cake material. In order to become a preparation and use, it still needs to continue dosage form processing.

(2) The proposal claims that a dispersant is added to the reaction vessel. The dispersants listed are all anionic surfactants and are water-soluble macromolecular monovalent metal salts. In the salt-forming or complexing reaction between multivalent metal salts (manganese salts, zinc salts) and mancozeb or mancozeb, according to common sense of chemical reactions, these dispersants will also undergo the same chemical reaction with the multivalent metal salts, thereby losing their water solubility. Therefore, there is reason to doubt whether these dispersants can still play a role in uniform dispersion.

(3) The scheme claims that a buffer solution is added to the reaction vessel, and the buffer solution listed is a phosphate with a pH of 6. Chemical common sense tells us that the reactants and dispersants are both monovalent metal salts, which can be dissolved in water when the pH value is equal to or greater than 7. When the aqueous medium is acidic, that is, the pH value is less than 7, the reactants and dispersants will appear in the form of "acid". Whether they precipitate in water depends on their properties on the one hand and on the acidity on the other. If a precipitate is precipitated, it is difficult to distinguish it from the reaction result of polyvalent metal ions.

(4) After the first step of preparing maneb salt, the scheme states that “water is added to the dried filter cake I to form a maneb suspension”. The use of the expression “suspension” actually indicates the size of the maneb particle size. The dispersion can be in a “suspension” state, which clearly indicates that it is not a “transparent” liquid. It can be inferred that the particle size of the particles formed after the filter cake is dispersed in water is at least submicron or micron. The judgment is based on the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect tells us that when a beam of visible light irradiates the liquid in a glass, if the particle size of the particles in the liquid is less than one-fourth of the lower limit of the wavelength of visible light (400-760nm), that is, less than 100nm, the beam of visible light does not produce serious reflection and refraction, and the liquid appears transparent. The less obvious the beam of light is, the smaller the particle size is. On the other hand, if the liquid in the glass is not transparent or appears in a “suspension” state, its particle size must be larger than the wavelength of visible light, close to or exceeding the micron size.

(5) It can be judged from this that the technical solution published in the invention patent cannot obtain nano mancozeb in the strict sense, especially mancozeb with a particle size below 100nm. It must be pointed out that the water-soluble polymer is added to the system as a dispersant, and its aqueous solution should be transparent. However, the aqueous dispersion of the filter cake is in a "suspension" state, indicating that the technical solution cannot obtain a true nano suspension, especially mancozeb nano pesticide preparation with a particle size less than 100nm.

The comparative technology (CN201711490378.4) is to achieve the nano-size of the generated mancozeb by only adding a dispersant and a buffer in the reaction of synthesizing mancozeb. Through the experimental practice of the present invention, it is found that the nano-size of mancozeb particles can only be generated when the concentration of generated mancozeb is extremely low. Therefore, it is believed that the comparative technology cannot achieve the industrial production of mancozeb nano suspension.

Here are the reasons:

(1) Comparative technology: In the industrial-scale production of mancozeb nano suspension, mancozeb or sodium is reacted with manganese salt and zinc salt in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 to form a large solid filter cake obtained by two precipitations. After drying, it is claimed that nano-level mancozeb is obtained. This "nano-level mancozeb" is untrue.

(2) The dispersant used is an anionic surfactant of sodium carboxylate, which can also react with manganese salt and zinc salt in water to form corresponding manganese salt and zinc salt that are insoluble in water, thereby losing the function of the dispersant and making it difficult to control the growth of mancozeb crystals.

(3) From the analysis of the expression that the filter cake of maneb dispersed in water is a "suspension", the comparative technology obtains particles of submicron or above size, excluding particles of size below 100 nm.

In view of the fact that the particles of various formulations of mancozeb products registered by domestic and foreign pesticide companies in China are all in micron size, and the shortcomings in the above-mentioned nano-mancozeb technical solutions, it also reflects that it is very technically difficult to innovate nano-mancozeb, especially nano-mancozeb products with a size of less than 100nm. This also reminds us that in order to obtain mancozeb nano-suspension, we must innovate ideas and find new ways.

[Summary of the invention]

The innovative ideas of the present invention are as follows:

Mancozeb is a water-soluble ammonium salt, which is a single molecule dispersed in water as one component. The manganese salt and zinc salt that react with it are also single molecules and metal ion dispersed in water as another component. When the two meet, it is very easy to form a mancozeb and zinc salt structure. Since manganese ions and zinc ions are both multivalent metal ions, in addition to the commonly believed salt-forming structure, the mancozeb formed is actually a complex structure. Since this salt-forming and complexing reaction is relatively fast, by controlling the amount of a certain component added at the beginning of mixing, mancozeb nanoparticles can be formed.

Under the condition of controllable stirring speed, an aqueous solution of one component (such as manganese salt or zinc salt) is added to an aqueous solution of another component (such as mancozeb). By controlling the dropping speed and stirring speed, nano-crystals of mancozeb and nano-suspension of mancozeb can be generated.

The generated mancozeb nanoparticles can temporarily and stably exist in water when they are very small in size and small in number. As mancozeb nanoparticles are continuously generated, collision, growth and aggregation of mancozeb nanoparticles will occur in the system. When the size of mancozeb nanoparticles approaches the wavelength of visible light, or even exceeds it, the system begins to show opalescence and gradually becomes opaque. In addition, due to the effect of the gravity of the grains themselves, large-sized grains are precipitated. In order to prevent this phenomenon, polymer additives must be added to the system. Polymer additives are water-soluble polymers, usually non-crystalline polymers. After dissolving in water, they exist in the form of random coils. Random coils are loose spherical structures formed by the spontaneous curling of water-soluble polymer chains. The main chains of oleophilic and hydrophobic molecules are aggregated inside, and the hydrophilic polar groups are aggregated outside. At this time, when the size of the mancozeb nanoparticles generated by the system is less than 100 nanometers, under the shear force of mechanical stirring, these water-insoluble mancozeb nanoparticles will be dispersed into the interior of the random coils and loaded by the random coils, thereby isolating and preventing the effective collision, crystal growth, precipitation and precipitation of the grains. Therefore, the random coils formed by the water-soluble polymer additives play a role in dispersing, suspending, stabilizing and protecting the mancozeb nanoparticles. Since the random coils are uniformly dispersed in the water phase, the mancozeb nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in the random coils are also uniformly dispersed in the water phase. When the size of the crystals is below 100 nanometers, according to the "Tyndall" phenomenon, natural light will not be significantly reflected and refracted when passing through this solution, so the system looks clear and transparent and apparently water-soluble.

It should be pointed out that in the process of generating nano-pesticide crystals, the dripping speed of the miscible original drug solution and the stirring speed of the composite adjuvant aqueous solution involve the amount of water added to the aqueous phase per unit time and the uniformity of dispersion, which are important factors affecting the size of the generated nano-pesticide crystals. For the dripping speed, if the target is that the size of the precipitated nano-pesticide crystals is less than 100 nanometers, then whether the system is clear and transparent is the criterion. Its theoretical basis is that when the particle size is less than one-quarter of the lower limit of the visible light wavelength, no serious refraction and reflection will be formed, so the system is transparent. The wavelength of visible light is 400 to 760 nanometers, and less than one-quarter is less than 100 nanometers. Conversely, if the system for generating nano-pesticide crystals is clear and transparent, it means that the generated crystal size is less than 100 nanometers.

To achieve this goal, the following points must be focused on:

① The mixing speed of the two-component solution (i.e. the speed of adding one of the components) cannot be too fast. If the solution is added too quickly, the two components will be unevenly dispersed, and the local concentration will be too high. Then the speed of generating grains will also be fast, and the number of generated grains will also be large. Aggregation between nano-crystals may occur, thus increasing the grain size. If the system has opalescence, it means that the grain size is already several hundred nanometers. If the opalescence becomes more and more severe or even opaque, it means that the grain size is close to or exceeds one micron. Therefore, the speed of addition should be based on keeping the system transparent.

② The stirring speed of the system should be appropriately increased. The stirring speed of the system is related to the generation and dispersion speed of nano-pesticide crystals in the water phase. The more fully stirred and the better the dispersion, the more conducive it is to the rapid formation and dispersion of nano-crystals, so that smaller-sized crystals remain in a stable dispersed state and avoid aggregation between crystals. In this way, it is possible to obtain smaller and uniform mancozeb nano-crystals. When the two-component solution is added, it is necessary to continue stirring for a while to ensure the dispersion, suspension and stability of the generated mancozeb nano-crystals in the water-soluble polymer additive.

③ Further realize compounding of mancozeb with other fungicides. In order to improve the control effect of crop diseases, mancozeb is often compounded with other fungicides. On the basis of obtaining the mancozeb nano suspension, further obtain a binary, ternary or multi-component nano suspension of mancozeb and different fungicides, which can make the application of the present invention more extensive. Realizing the binary compounding of mancozeb and triazole fungicides is a technical feature of the present invention.

Explanation of terms

Tyndall effect: The so-called Tyndall effect refers to the phenomenon that when a beam of light passes through a colloid, a bright "path" can be observed in the colloid from the direction perpendicular to the incident light. This phenomenon is also called the Tyndall effect. The essence of the Tyndall effect is a scattering phenomenon when light propagates in a colloid. The reason for this phenomenon is mainly because the particle size of the colloid particles is between 1 and 100 nm. When visible light passes through the colloid, it will produce a more obvious scattering effect, while the scattering effect of the true solution on light is very weak. Therefore, the colloid has an obvious Tyndall phenomenon, while the true solution with dispersed molecules has almost no Tyndall phenomenon. Therefore, the Tyndall phenomenon is often used to distinguish between colloidal solutions and true solutions.

System: The so-called system refers to the suspension system formed by mixing two components under the premise of stirring and controlling the addition method when preparing the nano-mancozeb suspension in the present invention. The system includes substances such as water, precursor, zinc salt, manganese salt and water-soluble polymer additive, as well as the generated target product.

Precursor: The so-called precursor refers to the parent substance that is closest to the target product of mancozeb, namely water-soluble mancozeb, mancozeb sodium and mancozeb potassium.

Particle size: The so-called particle size refers to the size of the mancozeb crystals formed by the interaction of the precursor in the system with zinc salts and manganese salts under the dispersion of water-soluble polymer additives, and does not specifically refer to the microscopic morphology of the crystals.

Effective stirring speed: The so-called effective stirring speed refers to the time when one component is added to another component, through stirring at a certain adding speed not less than the effective stirring speed, so that the nano-pesticide particles generated in the mixed liquid can be dispersed in time, and no significant particle aggregation will occur, thereby preventing the size of these particles from increasing to hundreds of nanometers or micrometers.

One of the purposes of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new idea and method for preparing the existing dosage form of mancozeb, which is different from the prior art. Through the dilution process with water, the reaction of mancozeb (or mancozeb, mancozeb potassium) and manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate is achieved to generate mancozeb, thereby providing a mancozeb nano suspension that is apparently water-soluble and transparent in appearance, and is directly used for spraying.

The mancozeb nano suspension of the invention can be loaded into a pesticide spraying device to carry out spraying operation. Main control objects: rice downy mildew, rice blast, narrow leaf streak, bacterial leaf streak, bacterial brown spot, sesame spot, leaf sheath web spot, damping-off, pear scab; wheat anthracnose, leaf spot, rust, powdery mildew; corn small leaf spot, large leaf spot, Curvularia leaf spot, gray leaf spot, brown spot, ring spot, round spot, anthracnose, downy mildew, leaf spot, bacterial leaf streak; citrus scab, canker, apple leaf spot, grape downy mildew, litchi downy mildew, phytophthora, green pepper blight, cucumber, cantaloupe, watermelon downy mildew, tomato blight, cotton boll rot, especially for the control of pear scab, apple leaf spot, vegetable blight, downy mildew, field crop rust, etc., can effectively control the occurrence of diseases without any other fungicide, with stable and reliable quality.

Compound containing triazole broad-spectrum fungicide

Mancozeb can be combined with a variety of pesticides to form a variety of compound preparations, among which compounding with broad-spectrum fungicides containing triazoles is an important type.

Triazole fungicides are one of the most commonly used pesticide fungicides as the largest category of fungicides in the world. Triazole fungicides are a class of compounds that contain 1,2,4-triazole rings in their molecular structure and have fungicidal effects. They inhibit fungal growth mainly by affecting the biosynthesis of fungal cell membranes. Triazole fungicides have the advantages of strong systemicity, high efficiency, low toxicity, and long lasting effect, and are known as the second milestone fungicide. It can effectively inhibit the activity of a specific enzyme C14-demethylase in sterol production, affecting the development of functional cell walls, thus leading to abnormal growth and eventual death of fungi such as ascomycetes, imperfect fungi, and basidiomycetes. It can be used to prevent and treat powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, leaf blight, leaf mold, anthracnose, black spot, root rot, stem base rot, sheath blight, smut, head blight, rice blast, rice false smut, seedling blight, ring rot, etc. It also has antisporulant properties and can be used to prevent or serve as the main agent for the treatment of early fungal infections. It shows great potential in disease prevention and treatment and regulating plant growth. In the early 1970s, the fungicidal activity of triazole compounds began to receive great attention. Subsequently, many triazole fungicides such as tebuconazole, diniconazole, myclobutanil, difenoconazole, and propiconazole were also successively used in agricultural production and widely used in disease control of crops such as fruits, vegetables, rice, and wheat. At present, triazole fungicides account for more than a quarter of the global fungicide sales.

As the use of triazole fungicides in agriculture and food fields gradually increases, their residues in food and the environment have attracted people's attention. Studies have shown that high doses of triazole fungicides directly or indirectly disrupt the structure of microbial communities in the soil, leading to a decrease in soil microbial populations and a decrease in enzyme activity in the soil, damaging soil health, and thus affecting plant growth. The adverse effects of triazole fungicides on organisms have also attracted much attention, such as reproductive and developmental toxicity, endocrine disruption, liver damage, and the possibility of infiltrating into the blood and interacting with human plasma proteins. In view of the adverse effects of triazole fungicides on humans and the ecological environment, my country's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has clearly stipulated the maximum residue limits of triazole fungicides in food in GB 2763-2021 "National Standard for Food Safety Maximum Residue Limits of Pesticides in Food". In recent years, the results of random inspections of pesticide residues in food and agricultural products by national agricultural departments and market supervision departments have shown that triazole fungicides have excessive residues in crops. Therefore, improving the efficacy of triazole fungicides, or combining them with other pesticides to reduce their usage, is of great significance for ensuring food safety and sustainable development of agricultural production.

The mancozeb nano suspension of the present invention refers to a mancozeb nano suspension of less than 100 nanometers; the mancozeb nano suspension of less than 100 nanometers is formed by diluting and mixing at least two components with water:

Component 1: water-soluble manebrite or water-soluble manebrite aqueous solution, water-soluble polymer additive; the water-soluble manebrite is one of manebrite, manebrite sodium and manebrite potassium, or a mixture of at least two of them;

Component 2: A mixture of manganese salt and zinc salt in a certain proportion;

The component 2 may be further added with a water-soluble polymer auxiliary agent and water to form an aqueous solution.

The water-soluble polymer auxiliary agent is a non-ionic surfactant.

At the same time, the technical solution of the present invention adds at least one water-soluble polymer emulsion of a triazole broad-spectrum fungicide to component one.

The water-soluble polymer emulsion of the triazole broad-spectrum fungicide includes (but is not limited to):

Myclobutanil water-soluble polymer emulsion

Diniconazole water-soluble polymer emulsion

Tebuconazole water-soluble polymer emulsion

Difenoconazole water-soluble polymer emulsion

Pyraclostrobin water-soluble polymer emulsion.

An alternative solution is to use a water-soluble polymer emulsion of a triazole fungicide as a separate component three.

The ratio of the amount of the water-soluble polymer additive to the amount of dilution water is not greater than 1:1200.

The nonionic surfactant may be selected from water-soluble starch and its derivatives, water-soluble guar gum and its derivatives, polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymers, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, arylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, castor oil polyoxyethylene ethers, alkyl polyglycosides, Tween, polyvinyl alcohol, etc. Preferably, polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymers, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers, arylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, castor oil polyoxyethylene ethers, alkyl polyglycosides, Tween, etc.

The manganese salt is selected from at least one of manganese sulfate, manganese acetate, manganese chloride and manganese nitrate; the zinc salt is selected from at least one of zinc sulfate, zinc acetate, zinc chloride and zinc nitrate.

Furthermore, the mancozeb nanosuspension with a size below 100 nanometers has a stable period of hours.

When mancozeb, manganese salt and zinc salt are mancozeb, manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate respectively, the mass ratio range is:

Mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 100: 41-55: 7-17

Preferably, mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 100: 41-43: 7-9

Further, mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 100: 41: 7

When the mass ratio of mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 100:41:7, the mass concentration of the water-soluble polymer additive added to the component 2 of the mixed solution of manganese salt and zinc salt dissolved in as little water as possible is preferably such that no turbidity occurs, and is usually not higher than 5%.

Mancozeb suspension below 100nm

In order to improve the efficacy of nano-level mancozeb, the present invention needs to reduce its particle size as much as possible. The original intention of studying nano-pesticides is to improve the efficacy of pesticides and reduce the amount of pesticides used. The particle size of traditional pesticide preparations is usually in the micron level. Reducing it to the corresponding nanometer size spans three orders of magnitude. When it is reduced to different orders of magnitude, the number of particles increased is also different. For example, the usual particle size of traditional preparations is reduced from 2μm to 200nm, 20nm, and 2nm, respectively. In theory, the number of particles increases by 1000 (10 ³ ), 1 million (10 ⁶ ), and 1 billion (10 ⁹ ) times, respectively. It can be seen from this that the different reductions in particle size and the different increases in the number of particles lead to different effects on the efficacy. Therefore, in order to improve the efficacy of nano-pesticides, the size of its particles should be reduced as much as possible.

In order to further improve the efficacy of nano-scale mancozeb, the present invention hopes to reduce its particle size to below 100nm. This is based on two aspects. First, the size below 100nm is the minimum size that a nano material must have in any one dimension. Second, the pesticide particles are between 1 and 100nm, and the preparation belongs to a colloidal solution, which is apparently water-soluble and has a clear and transparent appearance, which meets the description of the "Tyndall" phenomenon.

The nano-mancozeb suspension of the present invention, in addition to the size of the pesticide particles, also involves the problem of particle size distribution. The so-called particle size distribution is the relative proportion of particles of different particle sizes. The ideal particle size distribution is a single distribution, that is, the particle size of all particles is the same, which is almost impossible to achieve, because the generation process of nanoparticles cannot achieve equal opportunities and cannot completely avoid crystal growth. The more ideal particle size distribution is expected to be relatively uniform, that is, the size difference is not very large. The particle size and particle size distribution of the nano-level mancozeb suspension of the present invention can be detected by a laser nanoparticle size analyzer. A test result table of mancozeb nano suspension-1.

Table-1 Particle size and particle size distribution index of nano-mancozeb suspension

The Size(d.nm) %Number St Dev(d.nm) Peak 1 7.740 100.0 1.6 Peak 2 0.000 0.0 0.000 Peak 3 0.000 0.0 0.000

The test results show that: (1) From the distribution curve of particle size and number percentage (Figure 1), it can be seen that the curve has only one peak, and the test result list (Table 1) shows that there is only peak 1, and the number of detected particles is 100%, that is, it contains all the particles of the test sample. (2) From the distribution curve, it can be seen that the particle size ranges from 4nm to 11nm, and the peak is 7.74nm, indicating that the particle size percentage of this size is the highest, accounting for about 29%, and the particle size is much smaller than 100nm. This peak data represents the particle size with the highest content, also known as the most probable distribution, which is usually used as the average particle size. (3) The particle size distribution index in this example is 1.6, and some can be as small as below 1.0. The smaller the value, the smaller the polydispersity of the detected particle distribution and the more uniform the distribution.

The nano suspension below 100 nanometers described in the present invention does not exclude the presence of a small portion of particles with a particle size greater than 100 nm in the suspension, but this is not the main body and its percentage generally does not exceed 20%. In other words, the mancozeb suspension below 100 nanometers described in the present invention refers to a suspension in which at least 80% of the particles have a size (particle size) below 100 nanometers.

In fact, for nanosuspensions with different compatibility, there are often different types of particle size distribution; for example, there are bimodal or multimodal situations.

In order to obtain a nanosuspension that is apparently water-soluble and clear in appearance, it is necessary to ensure that the particle size of most particles in the prepared nanosuspension is less than 100 nanometers.

Concentration of suspension

For suspensions with low concentrations, the number of particles below 100 nanometers is relatively large, which has little effect on transparency. This is the case for the system with a dosage of 1500 g/ha of mancozeb, which is diluted with more than 50 kg of water.

For a high concentration suspension, the number of particles below 100 nanometers is relatively small, which will have a greater impact on transparency. For a system with a dosage of 1500 g/ha of mancozeb, dilution with 20 kg of water can briefly show the transparency of the suspension, but the concentration is too high, and the particles are prone to collide with each other, crystallize and grow, and aggregate, which obviously affects the transparency stability of the suspension.

The situation where the water consumption is between 20 and 50 kg is the transition period of the suspension concentration.

stable period

The mancozeb suspension prepared by the present invention is a kind of solution with transparent appearance and apparent water-soluble, but it is not a thermodynamically stable solution. Therefore, the time for the nano mancozeb suspension to maintain the transparent state is not infinite, but there is a stable period. Considering the operation characteristics of the spraying operation, after the nano mancozeb suspension is prepared, the required operation time should be at least more than 1 hour, so the length of the stable period can be described in hours. Therefore, the present invention proposes the concept of "stable period" for nano mancozeb suspensions below 100nm. That is, the mancozeb suspension below 100nm prepared by the present invention completes the spraying operation within the period when the solution remains transparent, and the stable period should reach at least 1 hour.

From the application perspective, the stable period can be further divided into four time periods: less than 1 hour, 1 to 5 hours, 5 to 10 hours, and more than 10 hours.

The spraying operation was completed within 1 hour, indicating that the nano-mancozeb suspension remained transparent, that is, the particle size was ensured to be still less than 100 nm.

By direct observation, the changes in the transparency and particle size of the nano-scale mancozeb suspension can be determined. During the stable period, the suspension is always transparent and the particle size is less than 100nm. When the suspension is unstable, opalescence will appear first, which indicates that the particle size begins to increase. If the opalescence is weak, it indicates that the particle size in the suspension begins to be larger than 100nm; if the opalescence gradually increases, it indicates that the particle size increases to several hundred nanometers; if the suspension becomes turbid or even opaque, it indicates that the particle size has increased to micrometer level or above; if the suspension further crystallizes or precipitates, it indicates that the particle size has increased to millimeter level.

The present invention observes the phenomenon of the stable period of the mancozeb suspension of the level below 100 nanometers, and is applicable to stable periods of different hour levels.

Hourly Stability Period

From the perspective of spraying operations:

The stabilization time is about 1 hour, which is not enough for spraying operations; a stabilization period of more than 10 hours is of little significance for pesticide formulations. Even if the pesticide solution is very stable, it is not conducive to storage and transportation due to the low content and large volume of the pesticide.

Therefore, the stabilization time is between 1 and 10 hours, and the spraying operations of most pesticide equipment can be completed easily within this time.

The hour-level stabilization period mentioned in the present invention refers to a stabilization time between 1 and 10 hours.

For the hourly stable period, further detailed division can be carried out.

The basic period for spraying operation is 1 to 5 hours; in most cases, the spraying equipment can complete the operation.

5 to 10 hours is a sufficient period for spraying operations; it can be used for spraying operations that are delayed due to special circumstances.

Components and additives of mancozeb nano suspension

Traditional mancozeb pesticide preparations are usually only one component and can be sprayed after being diluted with water, but the particle size of most pesticides is above the micron level. In order to obtain a nano-level mancozeb suspension, the present invention adopts at least two component modes and dilutes it with water according to a certain method to obtain a mancozeb suspension below 100 nanometers.

Two-component solution

The solution of the present invention is a suspension of mancozeb below 100 nanometers, which has a stable period of hours, and is a system generated by a mixed reaction of two components. They are:

Component 1: A water solution composed of mancozeb (or sodium mancozeb, potassium mancozeb), a water-soluble polymer additive and water. This is composed of a precursor for generating mancozeb crystals below 100 nanometers and a water-soluble polymer surfactant that plays a role in dispersion, suspension and stabilization.

Component 2 is an aqueous solution composed of a mixture of an inorganic manganese salt and a zinc salt in a certain proportion, a water-soluble polymer additive and water. The manganese salt is selected from one of manganese sulfate, manganese acetate, manganese chloride and manganese nitrate; the zinc salt is selected from one of zinc sulfate, zinc acetate, zinc chloride and zinc nitrate.

Meanwhile, component one also contains at least one water-soluble polymer emulsion of a triazole broad-spectrum fungicide.

Since inorganic manganese salts and zinc salts have limited solubility in water, in order to minimize the capacity of component two, it is necessary to limit the amount of water used. In addition, the solubility of inorganic salts is also affected by the amount of additives used, which also limits the amount of water-soluble polymer additives added to component two.

This improvement plan is to distribute the water-soluble polymer additives used into component one and component two. In view of several limitations of component two, there is an upper limit to the proportion of the water-soluble polymer additives in component two, unless the limitation of component two to a certain capacity is not considered.

Three-component solution

As an alternative, a water-soluble polymer emulsion of a triazole fungicide is used as a separate component III.

The triazole fungicide as independent component three can be a single-dose polymer emulsion or a binary or multi-component polymer emulsion. The present invention mainly refers to the former. In addition to being a component in component one, if the capacity specification of component two is not limited, it can also be considered as a part of component two. However, considering factors such as manufacturing, packaging, transportation and convenient use, the most preferred is a two-component solution as a part of component one, followed by a three-component solution as component three.

Since inorganic manganese salts and zinc salts have limited solubility in water, in order to minimize the capacity of component two, it is necessary to limit the amount of water used. In addition, the solubility of inorganic salts is also affected by the amount of additives used, which also limits the amount of water-soluble polymer additives added to component two.

This improvement plan is to distribute the water-soluble polymer additives used into component one and component two. In view of several limitations of component two, there is an upper limit to the proportion of the water-soluble polymer additives in component two, unless the limitation of component two to a certain capacity is not considered.

Proportion of components for producing mancozeb

The above two-component improvement solution includes two components:

Component 1: Use manethin (or sodium manethin, potassium manethin), or an aqueous solution of manethin (sodium manethin, potassium manethin), and then add an auxiliary agent.

Component 2: dissolve manganese sulfate (or manganese acetate, manganese chloride, manganese nitrate) and zinc sulfate (or zinc acetate, zinc chloride, zinc nitrate) in water in a certain proportion; auxiliary agents may be added.

In component one and component two, the dosage of the active ingredients is the basis for determining the composition of the two components. Mancozeb (or sodium mancozeb, potassium mancozeb) in component one is the precursor for the formation of nano mancozeb and is the basis for determining the composition of component two.

The present invention takes the case that 100 grams of mancozeb is required to be sprayed on 1/15 hectare of field as an example, and a two-component design is carried out based on the generation of 100 grams of mancozeb suspension below 100nm.

Component 1 requires manethin or sodium manethin, potassium manethin, preferably manethin as a precursor, about 90 grams. According to the aforementioned distribution principle of the adjuvants in component 1 and component 2, most of the adjuvants will be distributed in component 1. If both component 1 and component 2 are packaged in 500 grams of mass, the amount of water used is the amount after removing manethin and the adjuvants.

Component 2, first determine the amount of inorganic zinc salt and manganese salt required for the reaction with maneb, and the present invention preferably uses zinc sulfate and manganese sulfate. It is generally believed that manganese ions react with maneb to replace ammonium ions to form salts, generating a ring structure or linear polymer structure of maneb, while zinc ions are complexed with sulfur atoms on maneb salt molecules to form a complex structure. There is no strict ratio between maneb and manganese ions, and zinc ions, but the precursor as a complexing base has the following relationship with zinc ions:

Complexing base mass: zinc ion mass = 97.335%: 2.665%

The number of manganese ion molecules: the number of zinc ion molecules = 9:1

In the present invention, when the mass of mancozeb is 90 grams, the mass of zinc sulfate used is 3 to 8 grams, preferably 4 to 7 grams; the mass of manganese sulfate used is 25 to 65 grams, preferably 35 to 55 grams. The above data are the masses of zinc sulfate and manganese sulfate without crystal water.

1) Analysis of mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate

In order to ensure complete reaction in industrial production, the ratio of the three used should be the upper limit for the production of mancozeb.

The present invention adopts a ratio lower than the above ratio for the following reasons: First, a large amount of manganese salt and zinc salt will make the salt-forming and complexing reaction of mancozeb faster and more complete, and it is easier to form a crystal precipitation of mancozeb, which is not conducive to the formation and stability of small-sized grains. In other words, a ratio lower than the industrial production amount can easily control the formation of small-sized nano-crystals; it can improve the stability of the transparent suspension, that is, it can prolong the transparent time of the suspension. Second, even if the salt-forming and complexing reaction of mancozeb cannot be more complete when the amount of manganese salt and zinc salt used is lower than that of industrial production, even if there is a trace amount of residual mancozeb, it itself is also a fungicide that can be used independently. Third, the manganese salt and zinc salt used are multivalent metals with a valence of more than two. Existing literature believes that the reaction between manganese ions and ammonium carbamate groups is a "salting" reaction, while the reaction between zinc ions and ammonium carbamate groups is a "complexing" reaction. According to the fact that one molecule of mandelin has two ammonium carbamate groups, if a "ring-forming" reaction occurs, one molecule of mandelin needs one molecule of manganese ion; if a "line-forming" reaction occurs, i.e., a linear polymer molecule is formed, the end group is difficult to form a salt with a divalent molecule, and one molecule of mandelin does not need one molecule of manganese ion, i.e., the number of manganese ions is less than that of mandelin. Zinc ions and ammonium carbamate groups undergo a "complexation" reaction, and one zinc ion can combine with more (generally 4) ammonium carbamate groups, and not all of them are complexed, so the amount used is less. Therefore, the present invention proposes an actual application ratio that is less than industrial production.

2) Mass ratio of mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate

The molecular ratio and mass ratio between the three are as follows:

Mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 1: 0.8: 0.15 (theoretical upper limit)

Preferably, mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 1: 0.64: 0.08 (industrial production ratio)

More preferably, mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 1: 0.6: 0.06 (practical application)

Distribution of additives between component 1 and component 2

Component one mainly contains mancozeb (or mancozeb, mancozeb).

The reason why component one and component two must be packaged separately is that they will react when mixed together. If a two-component method is used, component one must be added with an additive, otherwise there is no place to put the additive, unless a separate additive is added as a special third component. This will make the dilution process more complicated. The condition for adding additives to component one is that both mancozeb and the additive are soluble in water and can be miscible without precipitation and other unstable phenomena. However, considering the high content of mancozeb and the additive, the high viscosity itself, and the difficulty in operation, a certain amount of water must be added to dilute it, reduce the viscosity, and facilitate the dilution operation. After achieving the above purpose, the amount of water added should reduce the overall mass of component one as much as possible to reduce the resulting production, packaging and transportation costs.

Component two is mainly a mixture of manganese salt and zinc salt, or an aqueous solution thereof.

Component 2 can be a solid mixture of manganese salt and zinc salt, which is dissolved in water before use. For greater convenience, their aqueous solutions can be used. Since their solubility is not very high, a large amount of water is required. Considering the dissolution of the mixed salt, it is possible to choose to add or not add an additive for two reasons: first, if a large amount of additive is added to component 2, it will condense into a film on the surface of the mixed solution of manganese salt, zinc salt, additive and water, affecting the dilution operation in the next step; second, if the amount of additive in component 1 is large enough to suspend and disperse the generated mancozeb nanoparticles, no additive is required in component 2. However, considering that if mancozeb is used for disease prevention and control in orchards, the canopy is large and the amount of water used for spraying the liquid is large, the amount of water used is usually as much as 200kg/mu or more. In such a large amount of dilution water, if the amount of additive added to component 1 is not enough to support the dispersion and suspension of the generated nano-mancozeb crystals, appropriate additives should be added to component 2 to supplement the insufficient amount of additives in the dilution solution. However, the prerequisite is that the amount of additives added to the mixed aqueous solution of manganese salt and zinc salt must ensure that the mixed solution remains transparent, and more importantly, it is necessary to avoid condensation into a film on the surface of the mixed solution during storage.

When the mass ratio of mancozeb: manganese sulfate: zinc sulfate = 100:41:7, the mass concentration of the additive added to the component 2 of the mixed solution of dissolved manganese salt and zinc salt is generally not higher than 5%.

Although both component 1 and component 2 can solve the above difficulties by increasing the mass, the increase in the dosage of the two components will undoubtedly increase the production, packaging and transportation costs. Taking these factors into consideration, it is an important factor to balance the relationship between the dosage of other components and the product specifications under the premise of producing a unit mass of mancozeb, so as to use as little other components (auxiliaries, water) as possible.

Water-soluble polymer additives

1) The transparent liquid of the mancozeb tank mix is a mancozeb nano suspension dispersion liquid that can be used directly. A water-soluble polymer additive with a dispersing effect is added to the liquid, and the generated mancozeb is dispersed and suspended in the polymer additive solution in nanometer size. Since the particle size is less than 100 nanometers, it becomes a water-soluble mancozeb nano suspension liquid with a transparent appearance.

2) The water-soluble polymer auxiliary agent with dispersing effect is an important component substance related to the size of the mancozeb nano-crystals generated when the two components are diluted and mixed, and whether they can be evenly dispersed and stably suspended.

3) Polymer additives are also polymer surfactants, which usually refer to substances with a relative molecular mass greater than 10,000 and surface activity. Compared with small molecule surfactants, polymer surfactants do not have a strong ability to reduce surface tension, but have other special properties, such as dispersion, suspension, and increased viscosity. According to their sources, polymer surfactants can be divided into natural polymers and their derivatives and synthetic polymers. Polymer surfactants have hydrophobic chain structures and hydrophilic functional groups, which are either at the end and side groups, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, carboxymethyl, sulfonic acid, sulfate, phosphoric acid, amino, etc., and are therefore water-soluble polymers. Water-soluble natural polymers and their derivatives include starch (straight chain), dextrin and various derivatives, water-soluble starch, oxidized starch, carboxymethyl starch, modified starch, cellulose and its derivatives, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl hydroxypropyl cellulose; carboxymethyl chitosan, modified guar gum, tea saponin, water-soluble humic acid, sodium lignin sulfonate, etc. Synthetic water-soluble polymers include polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polystyrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, etc. Since the main chains of synthetic water-soluble polymers are mostly carbon chains and are not easily biodegradable, water-soluble natural polymers and their derivatives should be selected as much as possible from the perspective of environmental friendliness to minimize the impact on the ecological environment.

4) The reason for selecting polymer additives in the present invention is to utilize the dispersion and suspension effects of water-soluble polymers in aqueous solutions. A water-soluble polymer with a relative molecular mass of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands is usually a linear polymer chain structure and can be dissolved in water. When a linear polymer is dissolved in water, the aspect ratio of the linear polymer is very large, but it does not appear as a straight chain. Instead, due to the flexibility of the molecular chain, it presents a curled state, that is, a "random coil" morphology. The hydrophilic groups in the random coils are oriented toward the water phase as much as possible, while the lipophilic chain structure is curled inside the random coils. The size of the random coil depends on the relative molecular mass of the polymer additive, the concentration, and the chain structure of the polymer. The larger the molecular weight, the larger the volume of the random coil formed by a single molecule. The more flexible the polymer chain, the easier it is to rotate internally, and the more stretched it is in the solvent, the larger the volume of the random coil. When the concentration of water-soluble polymers is high, the random coils formed by different molecules will gather together, so the volume is also larger. Generally, when the molecular weight of water-soluble polymers is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, the size of the random coils formed is usually tens to hundreds of nanometers. If pesticide nanoparticles are generated in the system, according to the principle of similar structures dissolving (or compatibility), lipophilic nanoparticles tend to enter the interior of the lipophilic random coils and be doped in different parts of the random coils. When the size of the pesticide nanoparticles is small, several nanoparticles can be dispersed inside the random coils. Therefore, water-soluble polymer additives can disperse and stabilize the generated nanoparticles. Traditional pesticide suspensions also use this principle, but their pesticide particles are in the micron size. Due to the large size of micron particles and the large gravity, the suspensions are usually opaque and their stability is also subject to great uncertainty. When the size of pesticide particles is reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, the gravitational effect on the particles is much smaller. The same water-soluble polymer surfactant can obtain a more stable suspension and dispersion system, achieving apparent water solubility and transparent appearance.

5) Water-soluble polymer additives are divided into different types according to the different properties of the active groups contained in the macromolecular chain, just like small molecule surfactants. They are mainly anionic polymer additives, cationic polymer additives, zwitterionic polymer additives and non-ionic polymer additives. These polymer additives carry active groups of different properties on the side groups or main chains. For example, anionic polymer additives carry acidic groups such as carboxyl, sulfonic acid, and sulfate, and monovalent metal salts. Such as carboxymethyl starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, lignin sulfonate, humate, polyacrylic acid, polystyrene-maleate, etc. Cationic polymer additives carry alkaline groups or salts formed with acidic groups, such as chitosan (hydrochloride), polyacrylamide, and polymers containing pyridine groups on the side groups and quaternized. Amphoteric polymer additives are polymers that contain both anionic and cationic groups in their molecular structures, such as carboxymethyl chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose. The simplest non-ionic polymer additives are polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymers, and various polyoxyethylene ethers with hydrophobic groups such as fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, alkylphenols, aromatic phenols, and oil groups, such as the Peregal series, OP series, Tween series, polyol series, ricinoleic acid series, alkyl polysaccharides, etc.

6) Among the first three types of polymer additives, anions and zwitterions contain acidic groups and corresponding metal ions in their molecules; cations contain basic groups. Due to the presence of these polar groups, during the reaction between mancozeb and manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate, anionic polymer additives will react with the metal ions of manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate to form a water-insoluble structure and precipitate, while cationic polymer additives, whose basic groups can react with the acidic groups of mancozeb, may disturb the formation of mancozeb. Therefore, generally speaking, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic polymer additives cannot be used as water-soluble polymer additives of the present invention.

7) The water-soluble polymer additive with dispersing effect is contained in the present invention. Only non-ionic polymer additives can be used as additives. The hydrophilic group of the non-ionic polymer additive is the random coil formed by polyoxyethylene ether, also known as "micelle". The outside of the random coil is hydrophilic, and the inside of the micelle is hydrophobic. The generated mancozeb nanoparticles enter the inside, thereby obtaining dispersion and stability.

8) The mancozeb nano suspension is directly produced by the reaction of the precursor mancozeb (or sodium) with manganese salt and zinc salt during the dilution process before use. Since the active ingredient content is at the spraying concentration, the content is relatively low, about 1.0-0.5 g/liter of water (for example, the amount of mancozeb active ingredient is 100 g/mu, and the water used by the sprayer is 100-200 liters/mu, and mu is 1/15 hectare, the same below). By controlling the amount of polymer additives, the dispersion stability of the mancozeb nano suspension can be adjusted.

The amount of polymer additives is related to the amount of mancozeb generated by the system and the amount of water used for dilution. For example, if the amount of water used for dilution is 100 kg, 150 kg, and 200 kg, respectively, the concentration of active ingredients is 0.100%, 0.067%, and 0.05%, respectively. The concentration of polymer additives should be at least in the range of 0.1% to 0.2%.

According to the test, the particle size of the active ingredient in the mancozeb nanosuspension is about 10-60nm. This nanosuspension can be in a stable state within 8 hours without precipitation or settling, and can be directly used in the spraying operation of various pesticide spraying equipment.

9) The mancozeb nano suspension is directly formed in the process of diluting with water before spraying. It directly uses water-soluble mancozeb or sodium mancozeb, potassium mancozeb as a precursor, adds a polymer auxiliary agent, as component A, and uses a manganese salt, zinc salt aqueous solution, with or without a dispersant, as component B. The two are mixed according to a certain concentration and a certain mixing method to obtain the target nano suspension. This solution not only saves the synthesis and purification process of preparing mancozeb original medicine from mancozeb or sodium mancozeb in the pesticide original medicine factory, but also saves the multi-step physical processing process of processing mancozeb original medicine into various existing pesticide formulations such as wettable powders in the pesticide formulation factory. The solution proposed by the present invention can be directly applied to the plant protection link of agricultural production, the process is obviously energy-saving and environmentally friendly, the production cost can be significantly reduced, and a suspension dispersion with a mancozeb particle size of less than 100nm is obtained. Since the particle size is significantly smaller than all existing mancozeb formulations, the present invention can give full play to the efficacy, significantly reduce the amount of pesticides, and play a role in reducing the amount of pesticides and increasing their efficiency.

The flow chart of the present invention for preparing the mancozeb nano suspension by diluting with water is shown in FIG3 .

The key technologies of the present invention lie in the following aspects:

1. The production process of nanopesticides

A new mode and method for preparing nano suspensions from pesticides containing polyvalent metal ions that are insoluble in water and organic solvents are innovatively proposed. The precursor of the target product is mixed with the corresponding metal salt by utilizing the process that the pesticide needs to be diluted with water. The mixing and stirring speed of the reactants are controlled by utilizing the principle of rapid reaction of metal ions, thereby obtaining a nano suspension with a particle size of less than 100 nanometers for direct use. The method eliminates the chemical synthesis and purification process of preparing mancozeb technical from mancozeb or sodium mancozeb and potassium mancozeb in pesticide raw material factories, and also eliminates the multi-step physical processing process of processing mancozeb technical into existing pesticide formulations in pesticide formulation factories. This mode and method are the most important key technologies of the present invention. This key technology is also suitable for the process of preparing nano suspensions from similar pesticides.

2. Concentration of Mancozeb

Control the concentration of mancozeb generated by component A with mancozeb or mancozeb as the main component and component B with manganese salt and zinc salt as the main component in the diluted water. That is, if the dosage of the active ingredient mancozeb is 100g/mu, the concentration of mancozeb or mancozeb should be controlled in the range of 0.09-0.045g/kg, the concentration of manganese sulfate should be controlled in the range of 0.04-0.02g/kg, and the concentration of zinc sulfate should be controlled in the range of 0.009-0.0045g/kg, and the corresponding water consumption is 100kg-200kg. If the water consumption is too small, far less than 100kg, the generated particle size is large, and the transparency and appearance of the diluted liquid deteriorate. Due to the high concentration of particles, the probability of mutual collision to form larger particles increases, the stability decreases, and it is not conducive to the formation of particle sizes below 100nm. If the water consumption exceeds 200kg, although a transparent diluted liquid can still be obtained, the concentration of the dispersant contained in the component is significantly reduced, and the stability of the diluted liquid will also deteriorate. Therefore, controlling the concentration of the final mancozeb, that is, controlling the amount of water used for dilution, is one of the key technologies for obtaining mancozeb nanosuspension.

3. Types and dosages of compound fungicides

In order to obtain a better control effect on crop diseases, compound fungicides are often used in agricultural production. Depending on the crops and diseases, mancozeb and triazole fungicides are a good compound combination. Triazole fungicides are a major and widely used fungicide. In addition to compounding with other types of fungicides, they can also be compounded with each other. The present invention is mainly a binary compounding technology of mancozeb nano suspension and a single triazole fungicide. The mass ratio of the binary compounding amount of mancozeb and triazole fungicides ranges from 100:6 to 20, preferably, 100:8 to 16.

In order to further increase the control effect or control other diseases at the same time, three or more compounds can be made on this basis to achieve the effect of multi-target control. The third pesticide component can be a different triazole fungicide, or other types of fungicides, or even insecticides.

4. Type and dosage of dispersant

Selecting the appropriate type and dosage of dispersant is another key technology for obtaining mancozeb nano suspension. However, when mancozeb ammonium or sodium mancozeb is used with manganese salt and zinc salt to generate mancozeb particles in water, the dispersion effect of a large amount of water and stirring alone cannot keep the size of the newly generated mancozeb nanoparticles basically unchanged. This is because the particles dispersed in water are not stationary. The particles are constantly moving and colliding with each other. As a result of effective collision, the particles merge, crystallize and grow, and finally precipitate. An effective way to prevent the size of the generated particles from increasing is to select the appropriate type of dispersant and determine its appropriate dosage so that the nanoparticles of the active ingredient are evenly dispersed in the solution formed by the dispersant in water. This type of dispersant is first of all a water-soluble polymer that can be dissolved in water. The microscopic state of water-soluble polymers in water is in the form of a random coil. The size of the random coil is much larger than the size of the newly generated mancozeb particles, depending on the molecular weight, and the largest can be larger than 1 micron. If the mancozeb nanoparticles generated at this time are smaller than 100nm, these particles can enter the interior of the random coils. To a certain extent, the random coils can prevent and slow down the mutual collisions between these particles, thereby improving the stability of the mancozeb nanoparticles. This is the role played by adding a dispersant.

But there is a problem here, water-soluble polymer has different types, whether all water-soluble polymer can be used. The present invention has tested a variety of different types of water-soluble polymers, and the conclusion obtained is negative. Among numerous anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and nonionic surfactants, only nonionic polymer additives can play the desired effect at present, such as alkyl alcohol, ester polyoxyethylene ether, alkyl aryl polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene ether, Tween-80, alkyl polysaccharide, castor oil polyoxyethylene ether, etc., and only a few of them have the best effect. The reason why anionic surfactants cannot be used is that the reaction mechanism of forming mancozeb in the process of dilution with water is essentially a process of polyvalent metal ions replacing ammonium ions or sodium ions to form salts and generate complexes. When the dispersant adopts anionic surfactants, the polyvalent metal ions may react in the same way as the acidic sodium salt in the dispersant, so that the dispersant is precipitated out together with the mancozeb nanoparticles generated from the state of being dissolved in water, and the effect of dispersion cannot be achieved. The present invention does not exclude the special case where an individual cationic surfactant is optimally combined with an appropriate anionic or nonionic surfactant to dissolve in water without precipitation.

The important role of the water-soluble polymer auxiliary agent used in the present invention is self-evident. The present invention utilizes in the water dilution process, water-soluble mancozeb or mancozeb, and manganese salts such as manganese sulfate that provide manganese ions, and zinc salts such as zinc sulfate that provide zinc ions, to mix in a certain manner, and through the reaction of manganese ions, zinc ions and mancozeb or mancozeb in the mixing process, a mancozeb suspension of the order of 100 nanometers or less is generated. In the system, if there is no surfactant, especially no water-soluble polymer surfactant, the generated nano-crystal grains will constantly collide with each other, causing crystal growth and aggregation, until macroscopic precipitation occurs. When there is a water-soluble polymer surfactant of suitable type and consumption in the system, the generated nano-crystal grains will enter the random coil formed by the water-soluble polymer auxiliary agent, and the collision and crystal growth between the nano-crystal grains can be stopped and delayed, thereby the generated mancozeb nano-crystal grains are dispersed, suspended and stabilized.

The type and amount of the water-soluble polymer additive used in the present invention can be determined by experiments. The type of water-soluble polymer additive can be determined by conducting stability tests on different additives under fixed conditions and observing the effects. The additive type test includes a single dose of a water-soluble polymer additive or a compounded additive of two or more. The present invention will exemplify the types of different water-soluble polymer additives in the test examples. The determination of the amount of the water-soluble polymer additive will be based on meeting the following two conditions: First, the generated mancozeb nano suspension must be transparent in appearance and achieve apparent water solubility, so that the particle size can be guaranteed to be below 100nm; second, the stability time of this transparent nano suspension is between 1 and 10 hours, at least between 1 and 5 hours.

For the system generated by the mixed reaction of two components, the amount of adjuvant is distributed to component one and component two. Theoretically, if there is no capacity limit for the two components, the proportion of adjuvants in component one and component two can be arbitrarily distributed; if there is a packaging capacity limit for the two components, for example, for the use of drugs in 1/15 hectare of fields (generating 100 grams of mancozeb), component one and component two are specified to have a capacity of 500 grams (mL) each. Considering that the amount of water used to dissolve manganese salts and zinc salts in component two is large, and the solubility of this inorganic salt solution in adjuvants is poor, the amount of adjuvant added to component two will be greatly limited. In this way, the amount of adjuvants distributed in the two components can be determined by the following formula:

Amount of additives _{(component 1)} = total amount of additives - amount of additives _{(component 2)}

In the case of a fixed capacity, the amount of additive added to component two can be determined by the situation after the additive is added to component two. When the system changes from transparent to turbid, it is the upper limit of the amount of additive added to component two.

The amount of the auxiliary agent used in the present invention is relative to the amount of water used for dilution. If the amount of water used for dilution is large, the amount of the auxiliary agent used will be appropriately increased. The ratio of the amount of the auxiliary agent used to the amount of water used for dilution is at least within 1:1200.

5. Feeding method

The feeding method is also one of the important factors affecting the performance of mancozeb nanosuspension. After determining the content or concentration of the active ingredient in the dilution, it is equivalent to determining the amount of water used. How to allocate the dilution water? How much is used in component one and component two? How to operate during the water addition process? All of these will affect the size and stability of mancozeb particles in the resulting dilution. For example, if the water consumption is 100kg, it actually involves two issues:

First, how to distribute the amount of water used into the two components to form dilution A (component one dilution) and dilution B (component two dilution)?

Second, how is it added? Is diluent A added to diluent B, or is diluent B added to diluent A?

These issues all involve the concentration of reactants at the moment of mixing two components. For example, if mancozeb or sodium mancozeb is used as component A, whether it contains a dispersant or not, and if so, how much it contains, all of which are related to the instantaneous concentration when component B containing manganese salt and zinc salt is added to component A. In addition, it also involves whether there is stirring, that is, the dispersion of the instantaneous product. The general principle is that a high concentration of dispersant in the precursor (substrate component) is conducive to the dispersion and stability of nanoparticles; stirring and effective stirring are conducive to the dispersion and stability of nanoparticles.

Preparation method of mancozeb nano suspension

The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Under the condition that the stirring speed is not less than the effective stirring speed, the dilution of component one is added to the dilution of component two, or the dilution of component two is added to the dilution of component one to form a mancozeb nano suspension. Then, component three is added.

The component one dilution and the component two dilution are aqueous solutions formed by diluting the following components one and two with water respectively;

Component 1: water-soluble manethyn salt or water-soluble manethyn salt aqueous solution, water-soluble polymer additive; the water-soluble manethyn salt is

One of chlorpyrifos, sodium mancozeb, potassium mancozeb, or a mixture of at least two of them;

Component 2: A mixture of manganese salt and zinc salt in a certain proportion, or an aqueous solution thereof.

Component three: water-soluble polymer emulsion of triazole fungicide.

As a variant, component three can be first added to component one to become a part of component one, that is, component one also contains a water-soluble polymer emulsion of a triazole fungicide.

The adding method, adding speed and stirring speed are controlled so that 100 nanometer mancozeb nanoparticles are generated in the suspension, that is, 100 nanometer mancozeb nanosuspension.

Effective stirring speed

The so-called effective stirring speed refers to the time when one component is added to another component, under a certain adding method and adding speed, through stirring at not less than the effective stirring speed, the nano-pesticide particles generated in the mixed liquid can be dispersed in time, and no significant particle aggregation will occur, preventing the size of these particles from increasing to hundreds of nanometers or micrometers.

Mixing method

Manual stirring: This is more suitable for most application scenarios; in this case, the stirring speed must meet the physiological requirements of manual stirring and cannot be too fast.

Mechanical stirring: In the field, it is difficult to have a large container with a stirring device. If such conditions are available, the speed of large stirring equipment generally does not exceed 100 rpm. Stirring at a speed close to this speed is sufficient.

For manual stirring, the stirring speed can be adjusted to the operating speed that is consistent with the physiological functions of the human body. In order to obtain a stable target product, the material addition speed can be appropriately reduced, and the material addition speed can be determined by observing the transparent state of the product in the system.

Joining method and joining speed

In order to make the added materials more uniform and fine, and disperse them quickly after entering the system, one component can be added to another component in a continuous, intermittent or dropwise manner. For the dropwise addition method, you can use the artificial sprayer commonly available in rural areas to spray and add, which has the best effect. The speed of addition is still determined by observing the transparent state of the product in the system to determine the speed of material addition.

For pesticide preparations sprayed with water as a dispersion medium, it is usually necessary to dilute the pesticide preparations with water before spraying, or to mix the pesticide preparations used together, a process commonly known as "tank mixing". The present invention utilizes the "tank mixing" process to mix component A and component B at a certain concentration, a certain adding method and adding speed under the action of a specific adjuvant, a dispersant, so as to directly obtain a "tank mixed" transparent mancozeb nano suspension that can be sprayed on site.

Dilution water consumption

Current experimental data shows that around 50 kg is a reasonable starting range

Of course, this dilution water consumption is strongly related to our target stabilization period.

This is a multivariate problem, and the additives (composition, content) in the component may also be an influence.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a mancozeb suspension with a transparent stability period of 1 to 10 hours at a level below 100 nm. When the unit mass of the precursor (for example, 90 grams of mancozeb) and the metal salt (manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate) reacting therewith are fixed, the factors that can affect the nanometer size and stability of the particles also include: the amount of water used for dilution, the amount of auxiliary agent used and the preparation method.

The amount of water used for dilution can affect the size of the generated nano-mancozeb crystals and the length of the stable period. The reason is that the amount of water used as a dispersion medium will affect the concentration of the mancozeb solution and the manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate solutions at the moment of contact reaction, as well as the uniformity of dispersion, and therefore will also affect the size of the generated crystals, the effect of crystal dispersion, and the chances of crystal aggregation and growth. The amount of additives used affects the concentration of its aqueous solution in different water amounts, as well as the size and stability of its dispersion, suspension and stabilization effects on the generated nano-crystals. Too little water will produce a limit. For example, when the dilution water amount is 20 kg, the stable time of the generated transparent mancozeb nano suspension is about 1 hour, which cannot fully guarantee the spraying operation time. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the amount of water used for dilution.

The invention selects the dilution water amount between 30 and 300 kilograms, preferably between 50 and 200 kilograms, for generating 100 grams of the target product, i.e., a mancozeb suspension with a transparent stability period of 1 to 10 hours at a level below 100 nm.

[Implementation Method]

The method for preparing a transparent mancozeb suspension of less than 100 nm in size is divided into two steps:

Three-component model:

In the first step, component one and component two are diluted and dissolved respectively according to the dilution ratio of different water amounts to form a component one dilution liquid and a component two dilution liquid respectively.

The second step is to uniformly add (preferably dropwise) the diluent of component 1 into the diluent of component 2, or add them in the opposite order, while the stirring speed is not less than the effective stirring speed, to form a mixed diluent.

The third step is to add component three into the nanosuspension generated after the above mixing reaction.

Two-component model:

In the first step, component one and component two are diluted and dissolved respectively according to the dilution ratio of different water amounts to form a component one dilution liquid and a component two dilution liquid respectively.

The second step is to uniformly add (preferably dropwise) the diluted solution of component one into the diluted solution of component two at a stirring speed not less than the effective stirring speed; or add in the reverse order.
