  • Agricultural blend, agricultural binder system, and process of forming an agricultural blend
    Patent number: 9416060
    Abstract: An agricultural blend, an agricultural binder system, and a process of forming an agricultural blend are described. The agricultural blend includes a binder system having soy polymer and one or both of metal slag by-product and synthetic gypsum. The agricultural binder system includes soy polymer. The agricultural binder system is a powder. The process of forming an agricultural blend includes blending a binder system having soy polymer with one or both of metal slag by-product and synthetic gypsum to form the agricultural blend.

  • Method of treating soil and a method of sequestering heavy metals in soil
    Patent number: 9315428
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method of treating soil and a method of sequestering heavy metals in soil. The method of treating soil includes applying a blend to the soil to form treated soil, the blend including a slag by-product having a soluble compound. The soluble compound includes silicon. The method of sequestering heavy metals includes applying a blend to soil to form treated soil, the blend including a slag by-product having a soluble compound, and forming a substantially inert particle in the treated soil, the substantially inert particle including the blend and the heavy metals.

  • Agricultural binder system, agricultural blend, and process of forming an agricultural blend
    Patent number: 9133069
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an agricultural blend and a process of forming an agricultural blend. The agricultural blend includes a slag by-product from a process having a slag other than stainless steel slag or includes 11 atomic % silicon from a soluble compound and total silicon of less than about 30 atomic % silicon or greater than about 39 atomic % silicon. The process includes producing a slag by-product and blending the slag by-product with a liquid binder system to form the agricultural blend, the slag not being stainless steel slag.
