A material (such as potassium hydroxide or ammonia) capable of reacting with ambient carbon dioxide to produce fertilizer is placed in the path of ambient air movement. Desirably the material is associated with a fabric which in turn is associated with a vane of a vertical axis wind turbine, the turbine performing useful work as well as supporting the material which produces a fertilizer. A misting system controlled by a controller may automatically apply a water mist to the material if the humidity is below a predetermined level. The fabric with produced nitrogen and/or potassium fertilizer may be placed directly into contact with soil, or shredded first, or burned to produce energy and an ash (and the ash applied to the soil). The wind turbine may have a convenient, versatile mounting system with three adjustable legs supporting a central component, and the spokes of the wind turbine may be slotted for easy assembly with vanes.

The invention relates to a solid, particulate, urea-based blend composition comprising a urea-based compound in particulate form, a component comprising an ammonium source in particulate form, a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, an alkaline or alkaline-forming inorganic or organic compound that is able to interact with the component comprising an ammonium source in particulate form, selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal carbamates, metal hydroxides, metal acetates and any mixtures thereof, or from the group of organic bases consisting of ammonia, amines, amides, adenines, amidines, guanidines, anilines, carbamates, thiazoles, triazoles, pyridines; imidazoles, benzimidazoles, histidines, phosphazenes, and any mixture thereof, wherein the urea-based blend composition further comprises a cation source, different from the alkaline or alkaline-forming inorganic or organic compound, comprising a cation selected from the group consisting of Fe.sup.2+, Fe.sup.3+, Mn.sup.2+, Zn.sup.2+, Cu.sup.+, Cu.sup.2+, Ni.sup.2+, Ag.sup.+, Pt.sup.2+, Ru.sup.2+, Co.sup.3+ and Cr.sup.3+.

This present disclosure relates to a solid, particulate, urea ammonium sulphate-based composition, further comprising one or more alkaline or alkaline-forming inorganic or organic compounds that are able to interact with ammonium sulphate, a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, and a cation source comprising a cation selected from the group consisting of Fe.sup.2+, Fe.sup.3+, Mn.sup.2+, Zn.sup.2+, Cu.sup.+, Cu.sup.2+, Ni.sup.2+, Ag.sup.+, Pt.sup.2+, Ru.sup.2+, Co.sup.3+ and Cr.sup.3+. The invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of a solid, particulate urea ammonium sulphate-based composition comprising urea, ammonium sulphate, a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, in particular N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (nBTPT), one or more alkaline or alkaline-forming inorganic or organic compounds and a cation source. The product is in particular suitable for use as a fertilizer.

Apparatus and methods for desulfurization and decarbonization of a process gas containing sulfur oxides and CO.sub.2. Ammonia may be used as a desulfurizing and decarbonizing agent. The gas may enter a desulfurization apparatus for desulfurization, and to produce an ammonium sulfate fertilizer. The desulfurized gas may enter a decarbonization apparatus to remove carbon dioxide in the gas, and to produce an ammonium bicarbonate fertilizer. The decarbonized gas may contain free ammonia. The decarbonized gas may be washed with a desulfurization circulating fluid and then with water. The washing fluid may be returned to the desulfurization apparatus for use as an absorbing agent for desulfurization. Acidic desulfurization circulating fluid may be used to wash ammonia, thereby achieving a high ammonia washing efficiency, and a low ammonia slip during the decarbonization process.
