Pelletized limestone is commonly used as a soil additive for agricultural purposes. Composed of calcium carbonate, this mineral neutralizes a soilโs acidity, raises the pH level, and improves the absorption of soil nutrients. While limestone is available in powdered form for agricultural applications, this formulation …
Limestone and gypsum are regularly pelletized for use as soil amendments and other products. Unbeknownst to many, however, limestone and gypsum respond so readily to agglomeration, that they are often employed as an additive in the pelletizing (agitation agglomeration) process when working with hard-to-agglomerate materials. …
