Lime Production In lime production, high-purity limestone or dolomite is crushed after being mined in quarries and, in some cases, subjected to washing. The material is then sorted and sent to the furnace. Limestone is generally obtained from open pits opened on the surface of the earth, located close to…
Magnesium sulfate production Magnesium sulfate production is a chemical compound with the formula MgSO4 and containing the elements magnesium, sulfur and oxygen. This compound tends to attract water from the atmosphere and is therefore usually found in hydrated form. This form is found as MgSO4·7H2O. Magnesium heptahydrate, also known as…
Magnesium nitrate production With the production of magnesium nitrate, a pure and crystalline fertilizer that is completely soluble in water and is very suitable for eliminating magnesium deficiency in plants is produced. Magnesium Nitrate production contains 15.4% MgO (9.5% Mg) and 10.8% nitrate nitrogen in Mg (NO3)2.6H2O). Magnesium nitrate is…
Organomineral fertilizer production Organomineral fertilizer production is a type of fertilizer obtained as a result of processing natural materials such as animal feces and plant waste. While Organomineral fertilizers of animal origin are generally obtained from animals such as cattle, chicken and pigs; Plant-based fertilizers are provided from plants or…
Liquid fertilizer production Liquid fertilizer production is usually accomplished by dissolving ammonium nitrate and urea in water, followed by the addition of various soluble phosphates and potassium salts. Potassium salts are mostly used as potassium chloride and potassium sulfate. The variety of these compositions is quite limited. For example, in…
Fertilizer production In the fertilizer production (DAP,NP,NPK) process, the basic reactions take place between ammonia and acids. In this process, liquid ammonia is used between +4 and +10 °C. In addition, phosphoric acid, which has a density of approximately 1.65 g/cm³ and contains 50-52% P2O5 and 4-5% H2SO4, is also…
Sulfuric acid production There are two processes used for the sulfuric acid production . There are two types of processes: sulfur and pyrite-based sulfuric acid production. First, we will try to explain the production of sulfur-based sulfuric acid. Sulfur in the earth’s crust is usually found in the form of sulfur. Sulfates…
Phosphoric acid production Phosphoric acid production Ca3 (PO4) 2 + 3H2SO4 + 6H2O → 2H3PO4 + 3 [CASO4 2H2O], according to the products formed as a result of the reaction, phosphate rock, sulfuric acid and water interaction with commercial quality phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and Jips as side products [CASO4 ·…
