Abstract
The effects of some additives on the process of pressing mixed fertilizer based on Urea and Ammonium Sulphate (UAS) at a ratio of 4:1 and their impact on the kinetics of solubility were investigated. UAS pellets were produced using a laboratory pressing machine at an optimum pressure. Most of the inorganic salts with hydrated water gave better crushing strength and lower rates of dissolution as compared with UAS pellets without additives. The organic compound tall pech - a by-product of pulp production - acts as a better binding agent for UAS pellets in respect of both strength and solubility. It is assumed that except for hydrated inorganic salts the tall pech possesses the property of being a slow-release binder in the mixed UAS fertilizer.
