摘要 |
The object of the invention comprises a process for the preparation of fertilizers by solubilizing phosphate rocks containing impurities, which make processing thereof difficult. The process is a simple and direct one. The product thus prepared is easily handled, can be directly used as a powdered fertilizer and dispenses with any post-treatment steps, such as purification, filtration, etc. The rock is solubilized with acid ammonium sulfate or a mixture thereof with sulfuric acid. This acid ammonium sulfate can be formed "in situ", by the reaction of ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid. Reaction may take place in a mixing reactor, on a belt conveyor or in a granulator. |
