Abstract: A process for the production of urea granules from a melt or solution of urea by spraying the urea melt or solution, which also contains as granulation additive formaldehyde, methylolureum, urea-formaldehyde precondensates, or hexamethylenetetramine, in the form of very fine droplets into a fluidized bed of urea particles, in which process the granulation additive is added to the melt or solution prior to the granulation at such a stage so that the mixture of the granulation additive and the urea melt or solution has a contact time of at least 20 sec., but not more than 20 min.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of producing fertilizer granules containing urea and ammonium sulphate by granulating a mixture containing urea, ammonium sulphate and water, which is characterized in that the ammonium sulphate is completely dissolved in an aqueous urea solution with a urea concentration of 70-85% by weight, the resulting solution is thickened to a dry content of 92-97% by weight, with a granulation additive for the urea being added in any stage of the treatment, following which the thickened solution is granulated in a fluidized bed of urea and ammonium sulphate containing nuclei.
