A method for forming a pelletised evaporite mineral product, the method comprising: pulverising an evaporite mineral feedstock to form a dry powder; mixing the dry powder with a binder in the presence of a liquid to form an intermediate blend; and processing the intermediate blend using a pelletiser to form pellets principally composed of the evaporite mineral.

A coated seed product, the product comprising: at least one plant seed; and a coating adhered to the exterior of the plant seed, the coating comprising one or more evaporite minerals, preferably polyhalite.

A mixing apparatus is provided that evenly mixes a powder raw material and a liquid raw material. The powder raw material is supplied to and spread out on a rotating disk to form a thin layer of dispersed particle swarms close to the periphery of the rotating disk. A rotary atomizer that synchronously rotates on the same axis is provided above the rotating disk. The liquid raw material is supplied to an inside surface of the rotary atomizer. Then, the liquid raw material is conducted to an atomizing head where the liquid raw material is atomized, and droplet swarms are horizontally radiated. The dispersed particle swarms and the droplet swarms are merged and condensed within a tapered wedge-shaped space, with the result that these swarms change into a fine and homogeneous mixture. The mixture is then radiated from the periphery.

A fertiliser product in the form of pellets comprising: at least 80% by mass of an evaporite mineral powder having a mean grain size in the range from 50 to 400 pm; and a binder; the pellets having a compression strength greater than 2 kgf. A coated seed product comprising at least one plant seed and a coating adhered to the exterior of the plant seed, comprising an evaporite material.

The present invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition that includes rivaroxaban and one or more excipient in a solid dosage form and methods for making the same. Methods for making compositions of the present invention includes powderizing rivaroxaban by centrifugal wet granulation to form compositions suitable for solid oral dosage form. Pharmaceutical dosage forms produced by methods of the present invention are more homogenous, smoother, and have better rheological properties, better compressibility, and much easier to make. They are much lower in cost and also easier to produce at industrial scales.

Adsorbent agglomerate having an inner region and a superposition of layers of adsorbent particles, the layers of adsorbent particles succeeding each other starting from the inner region, enveloping the inner region, each of the adsorbent particles having a volume termed particle volume, at least two layers of adsorbent particles constituting mutually hierarchical layers, the at least two layers being the layers of adsorbent particles furthest from the inner region, in which adsorbent agglomerate the adsorbent particles constituting each of the hierarchical layers preceding a following hierarchical layer succeeding it have an average particle volume less than the average particle volume of the adsorbent particles constituting the following hierarchical layer, a standard deviation of the particle volume values of the adsorbent particles of each of the hierarchical layers being less than 20%, preferably less than 5% relative to the average particle volume of the adsorbent particles constituting the hierarchical layer.
