A process for producing a citric acid soluble potassium silicate fertilizer comprises a step for kneading a mixture consisting essentially of potassium carbonate, fly ash, pulverized coal, other necessary starting materials and a caustic potash solution as a binder and then granulating the kneaded mixture, a step for drying the granulated product to a nearly absolutely dry state, and a step for calcining the dried granular product, whereby a chemical reaction takes place between the potassium and the silicon present in fly ash to convert them into a citric acid soluble potassium silicate. A process according to a second embodiment comprises a step for kneading a mixture consisting essentially of a potassium source, such as potash and/or potassium carbonate, fly ash, other components necessary for the production of citric acid soluble potassium silicate fertilizer and a binder, such as alcoholic waste liquor or the like, and then granulating the kneaded mixture, a step for drying the kneaded mixture to a nearly absolutely dry state, and a step for calcining the dried granular product, whereby a chemical reaction takes place between the potassium and the silicic acid present in fly ash to form a citric acid soluble potassium silicate. An apparatus for practicing the processes mentioned above comprises a plurality of continuous quantitative feeders, a continuous kneader, an extruder for forming granules, a fluid dryer, a fluid calcining furnace, and a cooling device for cooling calcined product.
