A PROCESS FOR PREPARING COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN AGRICULTU RE

摘要

Novel compositions for use in agriculture as soil improvers and fertilizers comprising as essential components ammonium sulfate and ferric oxide hydrate. By-products obtained in the production of titanium dioxide from ilmenite or ilmenite slag in the sulfate process and substantially consisting of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate are reacted with ammonia and that the reaction product obtained, consisting substantially of ammonium sulfate and ferrous hydrate, is subsequently oxidized until a composition is obtained which substantially consists of ammonium sulfate and ferric oxide hydrate.
