Abstract

After mechanochemical treatment of multicomponent mixtures complex fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and sulphur (NPKS) with higher water capacity were obtained. As raw materials some solid wastes and ammonia and potassium sulfates were used. Due to the different ratio used, new solid phases in the mixtures are formed. New solid phases are confirmed by the stages and rate of mass changes and also by the thermal effects at different temperature ranges. New phases are also confirmed by using X-ray diffraction method. On the base of data obtained mechanism of chemical transformations is proposed. It was found that the kinetics of mechanical activated mixtures decomposition is significantly influenced by the time of treatment and proceeds in few stages. The results have shown that the soluble nutrients forms ratio and sorption capacity could be controlled by the initial components ratios and treatment conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
