LIGNITE IN AGRICULTURE
Leonardite (lignite) in agriculture is outlined as an ideal fertilizer for agricultural crops. It is a product with a high content of humic acids, humus base, soil organic matter, which facilitates the plants nutrients absorption.
The main feature of the lignite, is its soil conditioning action; achieves land rehabilitation and stimulates for a better water retention and penetration. Humic acids positively influence the soil fertility, favoring microbial activity, helping to improve the structure of clay soils, improving their permeability and increasing aeration at the root level of the plants. In sandy soils, they help to increase the cation exchange of macronutrients and micronutrients, improving the water retention capacity thus avoiding loss of nutrients by leaching.
DRILLING MUD ADDITIVES
Lignite is a soluble product with a high content of humic acids. Its components work as deflocculants, helping to reduce the viscosity of the fluid and stabilize the mud rheological properties at high temperatures.
Some of the benefits are:
- Improves filtration control.
- Extends the temperatura range at which fluids remain stable.
- Works as emulsion stabilizer.
