Disclosed is a method for the integrated production of two different urea products. One is an aqueous urea solution suitable for use in NOx abatement (generally indicated as Diesel Exhaust FluidDEF). The other is a solution used as a fertilizer, viz. Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN). The production of DEF and UAN are integrated as follows: ammonia recovered from the production of urea is used as a feed to the production of ammonium nitrate. At least part of an aqueous urea stream from urea prodution, is mixed with ammonium nitrate so as to obtain UAN.

The invention refers to a free-flowing ammonium nitrate (AN) product which comprises a mixture of AN particles and beads or granules of activated alumina, a process for preparing the same and the use of said beads or granules as free-flowing additive for AN particles.

The present invention relates to a solid, particulate, non-explosive composition comprising ammonium nitrate-based particles, in particular a fertilizer composition, of which, on the one hand, the potential misuse as a precursor for an explosive composition is limited without, on the other hand, hampering its legitimate use by farmers for food production. The solid, particulate, non-explosive composition further comprises a gelling agent which is able to form a substantially water-insoluble and non-filterable hydrogel after the solid fertilizer composition is contacted with water. The gelling agent is selected from the group of gum-based gelling agents, in particular xanthan gum-based agents and guar gum-based agents, most preferably is a xanthan gum-based agent.

A recycling loop nitric acid generator uses a high-pressure nitrogen and oxygen loop with high-temperature plasma to produce concentrated nitric acid suitable for making transportable ammonium nitrate organic fertilizer from scavenged ammonia from manure.

A device and a method produces fertilizer from the exhaust gases of a production system, for example a system for producing cement. The exhaust gases are completely converted such that the exhaust gases are not released into the environment. For this purpose, the exhaust gases are introduced directly into the device from the production system. Exhaust gases such as NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.2 are first oxidized in the device and then reprocessed into NH.sub.4NO.sub.3 or (NH.sub.4).sub.2SO.sub.4. CO.sub.2 is reprocessed into NH.sub.4HCO.sub.3 in the device while nitrogen is converted into ammonia, and the ammonium, among others, is used to produce NH.sub.4HCO.sub.3 from CO.sub.2.

The disclosure pertains to an ammonium nitrate reactor with a first type static mixer in the mixing zone upstream of the tube bundle and/or a second type static mixer downstream of the tube bundle.

Disclosed is a system for the production of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), which is particularly suitable for processing relatively small ammonium nitrate waste streams into UAN. The system comprises a concentration for ammonium nitrate, a treatment section which allows recovering and recirculating nitrogen compounds entrained in vapor from the concentration section, and a pH control section allowing to adjust the pH of the processed ammonium nitrate waste stream to the extent necessary.
