Abstract:
      Lignin was extracted from black liquor through acid precipitation, and a KOH gradient dissolution was employed to simultaneously achieve lignin fractionation and potassiumization, resulting in the synthesis of small molecular lignin potassium fertilizer (LMWL-K) with a high content of hydrophilic groups, which was subsequently applied in the cultivation of potassium-demanding butterhead lettuce seedlings. The results demonstrated that the small molecular lignin (LMWL) exhibited high contents of phenolic hydroxyl (2.98 mmol/g) and carboxyl groups (2.30 mmol/g). Consequently, LMWL-K achieved a potassium content of 15.9%, significantly higher than that of the full-spectrum lignin potassium fertilizer (10.3%). Hydroponic experiments on butterhead lettuce seedlings demonstrated that the optimal treatment efficacy was observed at an LMWL-K dosage of 150 mg/L. Compared with the control group without addition of potassium fertilizer application, LMWL-K significantly enhanced biomass accumulation, increasing the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, soluble protein, and soluble sugar by 22.3%, 48.9%, 231%, and 40.5%, respectively. In addition to LMWL-K serving as a potassium source, the LMWL component in LMWL-K was found to stimulate root tip cell division, promote root development, and enhance nutrient uptake, thereby increasing seedling biomass. Its growth-promoting effects surpassed those of potassium humate and inorganic potassium fertilizers at equivalent potassium concentrations. Furthermore, LMWL-K was shown to regulate osmotic metabolism and activate the antioxidant enzyme system, thereby significantly enhancing the salt tolerance of the butterhead lettuce seedlings.
