  • Publication number: 20220324764
    Abstract: Disclosed is a spherical fertiliser granulate, which contains magnesium, sulphate and urea, each with respect to the total weight of the granulate, in the following quantities: Urea, calculated as elemental nitrogen, in a quantity of 20.0 to 38.0 wt %, magnesium, calculated as elemental magnesium, in a quantity of 1.5 to 9.5 wt % and sulphate, calculated as elemental sulphur, in a quantity of 2.7 to 12.0 wt %, wherein at least a portion of the magnesium, the urea and the sulphate is present in the form of at least one of the crystalline phases of the formulae MgSO4*6 NH2—C(?O)—NH2*0.5 H2O (I) and MgSO4*4 NH2—C(?O)—NH2*H2O (II), wherein 1 to 20 wt %, in particular 3 to 18 wt % and especially 5 to 15 wt % of the magnesium contained in the fertilizer granulate, calculated in each case as elemental magnesium, is present in the form of water-insoluble magnesium salts.

  • Patent number: 9994491
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions containing at least 80% by weight, especially at least 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, of at least one magnesium sulfate-urea compound selected from the compound of the formula (I) and mixtures of the compound of the formula (I) with the compound of the formula (II): [MgSO4.mCO(NH2)2.nH2O] (I), [MgSO4.xCO(NH2)2.yH2O] (II), in which m and x are each in the range from 0.9 to 1.1, n is in the range from 1.9 to 2.1 and y is in the range from 2.9 to 3.1, where the compositions, based on the total weight of the composition, contain less than 10% by weight of free MgSO4 in the form of the anhydrate or in the form of hydrates of magnesium sulfate and less than 10% by weight of unbound urea. The invention also relates to the production of the compositions and to the use thereof as fertilizers or fertilizer additive.
