An aqueous composition comprises at least one oxidizable sulfur-based compound. A concentrated extract of the aqueous composition includes a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-detectable amount of contaminating refinery hydrocarbons but the aqueous composition is free of refinery odor when stored for at least 24 hours at room temperature and 60% relative humidity. The aqueous compositions are prepared from a gas stream obtained from a petroleum refinery process, a coke oven, or the like, containing at least about 4 mol %, more specifically about 15 mol %, of hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2S) and/or sulfur dioxide (SO.sub.2) and/or ammonia (NH.sub.3), and at least about 0.1 mol % of contaminating refinery hydrocarbons. The aqueous compositions are suitable for use in fertilizers, mining and industrial applications.

According to some embodiments of the present invention there is provided herein a compacted granule of Polyhalite, Potassium salt and an inorganic binder comprising a strength of 2.7 KgF/Granule when measured after production.

The present invention discloses a mineral soil conditioner produced by coal ash and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes: (1) mixing coal ash with a heteroacid to form a mixture, stirring and filtering the mixture under the action of ultrasound to obtain a refined coal ash and a filtrate; (2) mixing the refined coal ash obtained in the step (1) with a calcium-based compound and a potassium-based compound well, performing drying with the residual heat of tail gas of a kiln after granulation; (3) performing calcination and activation continuously after granulation and drying in the step (2), then cooling, and processing by ball milling and molding to obtain a novel mineral soil conditioner. The present invention achieves the efficient utilization of a fuel coal by-product, namely, coal ash in agriculture and reduces the heavy metal content in coal ash and environmental contamination caused thereby.

In some embodiments, an agricultural formulation includes living microorganisms and an elevated concentration of a chelating agent. Formulations include one or more populations of live microorganisms, a chelate composition including at least one chelating agent and at least one micronutrient, and optionally one or more macronutrients and/or a biostimulant. Formulations can have a shelf life of at least 2 years.

Highly water-soluble humic acid products such as powders and compacted solids or granules are provided, which can be used directly as crop growth enhancers, or can be coated on or mixed with solid fertilizers. Preferred fertilizer products include humic acid-supplemented MAP, DAP, and urea, particularly where the humic acid fraction is distributed throughout the structure of the solid fertilizers.
