  • Patent number: 8702834
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a process for the manufacture of sulphur-containing fertilizer compositions, said process comprising the steps of: a) providing a slurry of at least one phosphate-based fertilizer material selected from the group consisting of ammonium phosphates, ammonium phosphate based nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) compounds, super phosphates and partially acidulated phosphate rocks; b} bringing said slurry into contact with at least one surfactant and elemental sulphur; and c) introducing the mixture obtained in step b) into a granulator unit in order to obtain granules of the fertilizer composition, wherein the elemental sulphur is present in an amount in the range of form 1 to 25 wt. %, based on the total weight of the fertilizer composition The present invention also provides a fertilizer composition.

  • Patent number: 8668759
    Abstract: Process for the manufacture of sulphur-containing fertilizer compositions, comprising the steps of: a} providing a slurry of at least one phosphate-based fertilizer material selected from the group consisting of ammonium phosphates, ammonium phosphate based nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) compounds, super phosphates and partially acidulated phosphate rocks; b) bringing said slurry into contact with at least one anionic surfactant and elemental sulphur; c) introducing the mixture obtained in step b} into a granulator unit in order to obtain granules of the fertilizer composition, wherein the at least one phosphate-based fertilizer material is present in an amount in the range of at least 50 wt. %, the elemental sulphur is present in an amount in the range of from 1 to 25 wt. % and the anionic surfactant is present in an amount in the range of from 0.001 to 3 wt. % based on the overall weight of the fertilizer composition. The present invention also provides a fertilizer composition.

  • Patent number: 7833341
    Abstract: The invention provides modified sulphur comprising sulphur and a polysulphide-containing organosilane in an amount of in the range of from 0.3 to 25 wt % based on the weight of sulphur, in which modified sulphur the combined amount of sulphur and polysulphide-containing organosilane make up in the range of from 90 to 100 wt % of the obtained modified sulphur and wherein the polysulphide-containing organosilane is of the general molecular formula (1): (X3Si)mH(2n+1?m)Cn-Sa-Cn?H(2n?+1?m?)(SiX?3)m?; wherein a is an integer in the range of from 2 to 8, X and X? each are, independently, a hydrolysable group, n and n? each are, independently, an integer in the range of from 1 to 4, and m and m? each are, independently, an integer in the range of from 1 to (2n+1). The invention further provides a process for preparing such modified sulphur, a sulphur cement product comprising the modified sulphur and a process for preparing such.
