Compaction granulation is an immensely effective, cost-efficient agglomeration option for potash and other salts, and it is an ideal method used to turn potash fines into a usable fertilizer product. Compaction granulation operates under the principle that under extreme pressure, some materials will adhere to themselves …
This week’s photo highlights potash granules produced via compaction (left) and granules produced via pelletizing (right). Potash compaction granulation and pelletization are two agglomeration methods, each offering a set of advantages and disadvantages. Compaction granulation does not use a binder or drying during processing, a …
There are many factors to consider when it comes to potash processing, particularly in choosing the method of granulation: pelletizing (wet granulation) or compaction. While both potash processing solutions yield successful product results, there are several dynamics that help determine the best-suited method for individual …
Potash is commonly used in fertilizers and soil amendments around the world for the potassium content it offers. A necessary nutrient required for many operations in plant growth, potassium is mined as potash all over the world, most notably in Canada, the United States, and …
