Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019110470A1] The present invention relates to a process for producing a fertilizer granulate comprising at least one ammonium salt and also limestone and/or dolomite and/or magnesite as filler, wherein at least a proportion of the limestone or dolomite or magnesite has been at least partially calcinated prior to use in the fertilizer granulate. The invention proposes a specific adjustment of the reactivity of the filler by means of the degree of calcination and/or the calcite proportion thereof. If for example dolomite is used as filler the calcination results in elimination of carbon dioxide from the mineral. This calcination is a two-stage procedure where the dolomite is initially converted into periclase (MgO) and calcite (CaC03) and the calcite is converted into calcium oxide by decomposition and elimination of carbon dioxide only at a higher temperature. Figure 3 shows the contents of dolomite, calcite, periclase and calcium oxide (and also its hydration product calcium hydroxide) as a function of different calcination conditions.
