According to some embodiments, there is provided herein a granule comprising polyhalite and phosphate rock, in a ratio of between 30:70 to 70:30, respectively.

A fertilizer is provided to promote plant growth that provides needed nutrients to a crop at planting that has a depressed freezing temperature relative to conventional liquid fertilizers. The fertilizer has a first fertilizer product including a bio-available nitrogen source, a bio-available phosphorus source, and a bio-available potassium source that is blended with a second fertilizer product including an amount of ammonium acetate. The first and second fertilizer products being present in synergistically effective amounts, such that the coordinated amounts of the first and second fertilizer products give crop yields greater than a mere additive effect obtainable through the use of the respective first and second fertilizer products alone in the same amounts. The synergistically effective amounts of the first and second fertilizer products are directed to particular crops, and depend upon the crop in question, soil conditions, ambient weather, and other factors.

The specification describes a system and process for treating a sludge or slurry to produce biochar. The sludge or in slurry may be digestate produced by an anaerobic digester that receives waste activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. In a process, digestate is dosed with metal ions, dewatered, and pyrolized. A corresponding system includes a reactor, a dewatering unit and a pyrolysis unit. In an example, the digestate is air stripped in the reactor and a metal salt is added to it. The metal ions form precipitates in the digestate that remain in the biochar. In some cases, a precipitate such as struvite is formed that also increases the phosphorous content of the biochar. The biochar may be used as a soil amendment, wherein the metal and phosphorous are beneficial to the soil.

The disclosure provides an electromagnetic ionic liquid, which consists of ammonia water, diluent, EWT electronic water and macromolecular complex. The four components are mixed evenly at normal temperature and pressure in a certain proportion to prepare the electromagnetic ionic liquid. The electromagnetic ionic liquid can be used for extracting struvite from seawater, salt water or brine, which improves quality of the struvite, facilitates its industrial production and improves yield of struvite products. In addition, with the electromagnetic ionic liquid, elements required for crop growth and dozens of types of trace elements can be captured in the precipitate, which has great social and economic value for mass production, popularization and application of the struvite.
