- Potassium nitrate is a
chemical compound with the chemical formula KNO3. A naturally occurring
mineral source of nitrogen, KNO3 constitutes a critical oxidizing
component of black powder gunpowder.
- Potassium nitrate is
the oxidizing component of black powder. Before the large-scale
industrial fixation of nitrogen through the Haber process, major sources
of potassium nitrate were the deposits crystallizing from cave walls and
the draining of decomposing organic material. Dung-heaps were a
particularly common source: ammonia from the decomposition of urea and
other nitrogenous materials would undergo bacterial oxidation to produce
nitrate. It was and is also used as a component in some
fertilizers.
- A control system was
developed to convert the hazardous NOx scrubber liquor to a useful,
beneficial and marketable fertilizer. The chemical process captures
nitrogen tetroxide in water, in which hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the
resulting nitrous acid into nitric acid. The nitric acid is neutralized
with potassium hydroxide to form the product potassium nitrate. No
commercial controller exists that can provide hydrogen peroxide in the
concentration range of 0.5 to 5.0 percent.
- ECEC is one of the
earliest engineering companies engaged in potassium fertilizer
technology development and project construction in China.
- Potassium sulphate,
potassium nitrate and potassium phosphates together meet some 7-8% of
world fertilizer K2O demand. They are considered to be premium potash
fertilizers in relation to the main potash fertilizer product, potassium
chloride, and inevitably have attracted considerable investment
interest. During the past year supply has exceeded demand, and the
prices of all three products have deteriorated, eroding some but not all
of the premiums and squeezing the less efficient Producers. If these
lower prices become permanent, then the premium products will begin to
acquire some of the characteristics of commodity fertilizers for which a
different marketing approach is needed.
- The growth of demand
for speciality fertilizer has not only been stronger than the growth in
the mainstream sector, but it also appears to have avoided the cycles
that are associated with commodity fertilizer. This, too, makes
speciality products a potentially attractive area for investments, but
by definition specialities form part of a smaller volume business, and
its characteristics change as it becomes bigger. competitive advantage
among potash suppliers worldwide in the light of the numerous industry
mergers and marketing realignments of recent years.
- Roughly 10 tons/ day
plant need an investment of Rs.75 lakhs in plant & machinery and
working capital of about Rs.125 Lakhs
