METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A CALCIUM NITRATE MELT AND PRODUCTS THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a homogeneous and ammonium free calcium nitrate melt with high solidification temperature, suitable for conventional particulation methods, by mixing a potassium source with a calcium nitrate source and heating the formed mixture to 150-155 DEG C for forming a melt comprising 1.5-5.5 % by weight of K (as KNO3), 13-18 % by weight of water and 70-80 % by weight of Ca(NO3)2. The invention further relates to homogeneous and ammonium free calcium nitrate particles where the particles are a particulated product from a melt comprising 1.5-5.5 % by weight of K (as KNO3), 13-18 % by weight of water and 70-80 % by weight of Ca(NO3)2.
