Abstract: A system and method that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a multichannel audio stream; forming a front channel audio stream of the multichannel audio stream, including combining a first subset of audio channels of the multichannel audio stream to form the front channel audio stream; forming a surround channel audio stream of the multichannel audio stream including combining a second subset of audio channels of the multichannel audio stream to form the surround channel audio stream; providing the front channel audio stream to a primary set of speakers positioned in front of a listener and providing the surround channel audio stream to a supplemental speaker positioned behind the listener; and synchronizing the front channel audio stream and the surround channel audio stream. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A fertiliser comprising both sulphur and a solution of urea and ammonium nitrate in water is disclosed. Processes for making such a fertiliser are also disclosed.

Abstract: A process for preparing an elemental sulphur-containing composition for use as a fertilizer and/or soil improver comprises wet milling elemental sulphur in a liquid to produce a micronized sulphur slurry for application to soil, and further comprises adding a preventive scavenging additive for fixating sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide gases that are released downstream of the mill.

Abstract: A process for preparing a micronutrient-enriched phosphate-based fertilizer is disclosed. An aqueous fertilizer mixture comprising phosphoric acid and/or phosphate rock is prepared and optionally granulated in granulator unit. The pH of the fertilizer mixture is measured and controlled such that the pH is maintained within a predefined range.

Abstract: A process for preparing a urea-sulphur fertiliser is disclosed. Urea and sulphur are supplied to a dispersion mill wherein a rotor turns within a slotted stator, thereby providing a dispersion of molten urea and molten sulphur; and the dispersion of molten urea and molten sulphur is supplied to a forming unit to provide the urea-sulphur fertiliser.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a urea-sulphur fertiliser composition, the process comprising providing feeds comprising elemental sulphur, urea, and optionally a surfactant, such as a multifunctional ionic surfactant; merging the feeds in order to obtain a combined feed; passing the combined feed through a mixing stage in order to obtain a mixed feed; and passing the mixed feed through a processing stage in order to obtain the urea-sulphur fertiliser composition. Compositions obtained by the process are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a urea fertilizer having a lignin compound and elemental sulphur dispersed throughout the fertilizer and having improved hardness.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of a lignin compound to prepare a urea fertiliser having reduced biuret content.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the preparation an emulsion of elemental sulphur particles, said process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first stream comprising a liquid fertilizer and/or a liquid fertilizer precursor; (b) providing a second stream comprising liquid elemental sulphur; and (c) mixing the first stream and the second stream in a mixing device in the presence of a multifunctional ionic surfactant to form an emulsion comprising elemental sulphur particles which are coated with a layer of the multifunctional ionic surfactant and dispersed in the fertilizer and/or the fertilizer precursor, whereby a temperature is applied which maintains the elemental sulphur substantially in the liquid form in the mixing device. The invention further provides an elemental sulphur-containing fertilizer obtainable by a process according to the invention.
