Abstract: The invention can be applied in the chemical industry when producing complex mineral fertilizers using ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride. A method for producing granulated nitrogen-potash fertilizer is carried out by mixing a concentrated solution of ammonium nitrate with potassium chloride and ammonia, granulating the resulting mixture and drying the product. In the process of granulation, the resulting particulate product has, applied to same, an aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate having 24-30 percent concentration by mass, in an amount which allows for the magnesium sulfate contents in the finished product based on MgO to be no less than 0.5 percent by mass. The strength of the fertilizer granules is thus increased and the caking thereof during prolonged storage is decreased. In addition, by maintaining the MgO in the finished product at 0.5-1.0 percent by mass, a minimum consumption of magnesium sulfate is achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to the chemical industry and can be used while producing granulated nitrogen-potash fertilizers. An ammonia nitrate melt in the amount of 33-69 weight %, potassium chloride in the amount of 22-65 weight %, and a specific mineral admixture—phosphogypsum in the amount of 2-9 weight % are fed into a mixture as well as ammonia, which is necessary for keeping pH value of the mixture within the range of 6.5-7.5. The obtained slurry is sprayed onto a recycle product in a drum granulator and granulated under a recycle ratio being equal to 1:(2-2.5), the final product is dried. A stirring is carried out under the optimal operational mode within the temperature range of 100-130° C. during 20-30 minutes. Due to such conditions, a productivity rate of the process is increased and granules of the fertilizer have higher strength and reduced leachability from the soil.

Abstract: The invention relates to the chemical industry and can be used while producing granulated nitrogen-potash fertilizers. An ammonium nitrate melt in the amount of 33÷69 weight %, potassium chloride in the amount of 22÷65 weight %, and a specific mineral admixture—phosphogypsum in the amount of 2÷9 weight % are fed into a mixer as well as ammonia, which is necessary for keeping pH value of the mixture within the range of 6.5÷7.5. The obtained slurry is sprayed onto a recycle product in a drum granulator and granulated under a recycle ratio being equal to 1:(2÷2.5), the final product is dried. A stirring is carried out under the optimal operational mode within the temperature range of 100÷130° C. during 20÷30 minutes. Due to such conditions a productivity rate of the process is increased and granules of the fertilizer have higher strength and reduced leachability from the soil.
