  • Patent number: 9663410
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a composition containing at least 80 wt. %, with reference to the total weight of the composition, of a magnesium-sulfate-urea compound of Formula (I): [MgSO4.m CO(NH2)2.n H2O]??(I), in which m is in the range from 0.9 to 1.1 and n is in the range from 2.1 to 3.1, where the composition, with reference to the total weight of the composition, contains less than 10 wt. % free MgSO4 in the form of the anhydrate or in the form of urea-free hydrates of the magnesium sulfate, such as magnesium sulfate or magnesium-sulfate hexahydrate and/or less than 10 wt. % uncombined urea. In particular, m in Formula (I) indicates the value 1. In particular, n in Formula (I) indicates the value 3. The invention also concerns the manufacture of the compositions and their utilization as fertilizers or fertilizer additives.

  • Patent number: 6379414
    Abstract: A process is for the production of potash fertilizer granulates which have a stable shelf life also at high relative air humidities. This granulate contains an additive in the form of magnesium oxide and/or calcium oxide in a fine powder form, which is added by metering in prior to the compacting step. The result is a high final bursting strength even if the granulate is stored in a wet climate.
