摘要 |
The invention relates to a process for converting water-soluble, condensed phosphates of the following general formula (I) M2O(MPO3)n (I) in which M stands for sodium, potassium or ammonium and n stands for a number between 4 and about 100, to granulate, wherein the pulverulent, water-soluble, condensed phosphate is thoroughly agitated and granulated in the presence of water and of a phosphate salt other than the condensed phosphate. More specifically, the condensed phosphate of general formula (I) or a mixture of the phosphate with an anhydrous or partially hydrated alkali metal phosphate is thoroughly agitated and granulated in the presence of water and an ammonium polyphosphate of the following general formula (II) H(n-m)+2(NH4)mPnO3n+1 (II) in which n stands for an integral average value of 3 to 1000, m stands for a whole number of up to n+2, and the m/n-ratio is between about 1.0 and 1.67.
