An unexpected surprise, an encounter with the nano mill world
An unexpected surprise, an encounter with the nano mill world
Two days ago, the customer sent two new formula pesticides and wanted to use our equipment to do an experiment to see how effective the medicines are after grinding.
The customer is a large pesticide manufacturer integrating production and research and development. Every bit of progress in the research and development of new pesticide varieties may mean the improvement of agricultural production efficiency and even the improvement of the ecological environment.
This time, the newly developed pesticide materials they sent had more stringent requirements, with particle size requirements: D50 is 1 micron, D90 is 2 microns, and D97: 3 microns.
Today we use the N series laboratory nano sand mill. This 1L capacity equipment, although small in size, is well-known in the industry for its high efficiency and stable performance.
The experimenters are busy and orderly preparing the various materials needed for grinding.
For pesticide grinding experiments like this, we usually take samples every half an hour to test the fineness of the materials.
An unexpected surprise, an encounter with the nano world
"Okay, now half an hour has passed, come with me to take a look!" I walked towards the test area with anticipation, with both uneasiness about the results and desire for the unknown.
However, when the test data appeared in front of me, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh!!!!!! D50: 272 nanometers, D90: 419 nanometers, D97: 662 nanometers."
This string of numbers far exceeded the customer's expectations and overturned all my assumptions about this experiment.
The conversion between microns and nanometers became so intuitive and shocking at this moment-we actually ground the material to the nanometer level inadvertently!
Nanotechnology, a new hope for agriculture
Pesticides, as an indispensable part of modern agriculture, their development and application are directly related to the balance of food security and ecological environment.
However, traditional pesticides are often accompanied by residue problems, environmental pollution and potential threats to biodiversity during use.
Therefore, how to develop more efficient, environmentally friendly and low-residue pesticides has become the goal that agricultural scientists have been tirelessly pursuing.
The introduction of nanotechnology provides a new solution to this problem.
Nanopesticides, as the name suggests, refer to pesticide preparations with a particle size of nanometers (1-100 nanometers).
Compared with conventional pesticides, nanopesticides have a higher specific surface area, better dispersibility and permeability, and can more effectively adhere to the surface of crops or penetrate target organisms, thereby significantly improving the control effect while reducing the dosage.
In addition, nanopesticides can also achieve precise delivery of pesticides through controlled release technology, further reducing the negative impact on the environment.
