High Value Organic-Enhanced Inorganic Fertilizers
The invention is directed to manufacture of fertilizer having commercial levels of nitrogen supplemented with organic substances. The process treats organic matter with acid causing hydrolysis of organic polymers after which the mix is injected with nitrogen. The resultant sterilized and liquefied organic matter is disbursed over recycled material for the production of granules. Because the process allows for the controlled addition of acids and ammonia, desired levels of components can be achieved. The process is scalable, odor controlled and safe thereby allowing for the location of biosolid processing facilities in most any location. Further, the fertilizer of the invention provides a dual nitrogen-release profile when applied to crops. After application to soil, fertilizer of the invention releases an immediate bolus of nitrogen, similar to traditional ammonium sulfate, followed by continued slow release of nitrogen typically over a season.
SYNTHETIC AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT
The disclosure relates generally to a synthetic agricultural product and methods and systems for producing a synthetic agricultural product or composition. The method of producing a synthetic agricultural product may comprise providing an effective amount of fertilizer and/or other agricultural product sufficient to effectuate a response in a plant, an effective amount of a mineral substance having a high cation exchange capacity, and an effective amount of water sufficient to effectuate a desired result in a plant. The fertilizer and/or other agricultural product and mineral substance may be added into the effective amount of water, thereby creating the synthetic agricultural product. Known ions, such as fertilizer ions, and native ions in the native mineral substance may be exchanged to produce a synthetic agricultural product.
