Coated ice melting compositions

摘要

Ice melting compositions, methods for manufacturing ice melting compositions, and methods for melting ice are disclosed. The ice melting compositions can include a coarse deicing particle nucleus and a fine deicing particle coating substantially surrounding the coarse deicing particle nucleus. The fine particle coating can be attached or bonded to the coarse particle nucleus with a binder. The coarse particle nucleus and the fine particle coating can have a variety of particle sizes.

1. An ice melting composition comprising:
a coarse deicing particle nucleus, a fine deicing particle coating substantially surrounding the coarse deicing particle nucleus and bonded to the coarse deicing particle nucleus with a binder, wherein the binder is a sodium chloride brine with yellow prussiate of soda, wherein the composition comprises from about 84% to about 90% of the coarse deicing particle nucleus, from about 2% to about 4% of the binder, and from about 8% to about 12% of the fine deicing particle coating.
