Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to methods for the co-production of urea-based solid nitrogen fertilizer and urea-based solid nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer wherein urea recovered from a gas stream obtained from regular urea production is recycled and used to produce nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer containing a nitrification/urease inhibiting sulfur compound selected from thiosulphate salts, (bi)sulfite salts, polysulfide salts, (bi)sulfide salts, metabisulfite salts, dithionite salts, elemental sulfur and combinations thereof, preferably selected from the group consisting of thiosulphate salts, (bi)sulfite salts, polysulfide salts and combinations thereof. The present invention further relates to certain fertilizer compositions obtainable by the methods of the invention wherein ammonium sulphate and/or ammonium nitrate is further produced from the gas stream and combined to make a nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer. |
