Abstract
Abstract To produce hard, abrasion-resistant, substantially spherical granules consisting essentially of potassium chloride and phosphate, particulate potassium chloride is agglomerated with an aqueous solution containing as the essential binding agent, a complex mixture of ortho-phosphates and condensed phosphates produced by reacting potassium chloride in orthophosphoric acid at above 180* C. To improve the granulation yield having the desired particle sizes, ammonia is added to the mixture to be granulated either before or during granulation.
