To develop a slow-release fertilizer with high content of urea, lignin was heated with urea-montmorillonite (M/U) extruded composites to synthesize a novel composite-lignin/montmorillonite/urea (L/M/U). Mechanical test results of the composites showed that the L/M/U exhibited a greater flexure strength and a higher elastic modulus than the unmodified M/U extruded material. Based on the results of the urea release experiments, in the M/U extruded composites, the material with a high urea content exhibited a high urea release rate. By contrast, although the urea content of the 2:1:4 L/M/U formulation was higher than the 2:1:1 and 2:1:2 L/M/U formulations, the former formulation exhibited a lower urea release rate than the latter two formulations. The urea cumulative release (34.6%) of the L/M/U 2:1:4 after 105 h was also lower than that (93.7%) of the M/U 1:1 although the W-urea (57.1 wt %) in the former was higher than the W-urea (50.0 wt %) in the latter.
