In the study, the process preparation of phosphorus-humus fertilizers based on low-grade Central Kizilkum phosphorites activated using sulfuric acid in the ratio of 30-70% for decomposition of CaCO3 in the phosphorite followed by addition of activated sludge from municipal waster water was investigated.
For the granulation of nitrate-sulfate-carbonate melt, the prilling method is applied using a granulation tower. The composition and properties of new types of fertilizers were studied. It is shown that with the ratio NH4NO3: СаСО3: (NH4)2SO4 = 100: 24: 1 the product contains 28,03% - N, 0,50% - SO3, 10% - СаО and has a granule strength of 6.03 MPa, which is much higher than the strength of pure NH4NO3 granules (1.32 MPa). The absorption of pure AN granules is 4.82 g. With an increase in the proportion of chalk and ammonium sulfate to the NH4NO3: СаСО3: (NH4)2SO4 = 100: 24: 1 ratio, the absorbency of the LAN granules is 2.57g.
The article studies the process of obtaining carbonate-ammonium nitrate (CAN) based on the mixing of melt ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) with chalk (СаСО3) and ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4). For the granulation of nitrate-sulfate-carbonate melt the prilling method is applied using a granulation tower. Determined the composition and properties of new types of fertilizers. It is shown that with the ratio NH4NO3 : СаСО3 : (NH4)2SO4 = 100 : 24 : 1 the product contains 28,03% N, SO3 – 0,50%, 10% СаО and has a granule strength of 6,03 MPa, which is much higher than the strength of pure NH4NO3 granules (1,32 MPa). Porosity and absorption of pure AN granules is 22,0% and 4,82 g. With an increase in the proportion of chalk and ammonium sulfate to the NH4NO3 : СаСО3 : (NH4)2SO4 = 100 : 24 : 1 ratio, the porosity and absorbency of the LAN granules is 6,11% and 2,57g, respectively. It was revealed that the use of the (NH4)2SO4, СаСО3 additive in the NH4NO3 melt at a mass ratio of NH4NO3 : СаСО3 : (NH4)2SO4 = from 100 : 2 : 0,5 to 100 : 58 : 2 allows to increase the strength and temperature of the onset of decomposition of the nitrate granules by 2-6,7 and 1-1,3 times and reduce the porosity by 2,7-4,8 2 times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
