    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for inhibiting, at least in part, nitrification activity of ammonium-containing fertilizers (a1) and/or of ammonium-producing fertilizers (a2), which process comprises the steps of:



    a) Applying to soil and/or to foliage a nitrification inhibitory amount of one or more compounds (b) that are selected from the group consisting of (b1) polysulfides and/or (b2) thiosulfates and/or (b3) hydrosulfides;
    b) Wherein the one or more compounds (b) are applied simultaneously with, before or after the fertilizers (a) are applied to the soil and/or to the foliage such that the compounds (b) are in direct contact with the ammonium-containing fertilizers (a1) and/or the ammonium-producing fertilizers (a2);
    c) Wherein the one or more nitrification inhibiting compounds (b) are applied in an amount:

    i. such that the ratio (w/w) of “total protectable nitrogen” over “sulfur from compounds (b)” is at most about 8:1, preferably at most about 7.5:1, more preferably at most about 7:1, and/or
    ii. corresponding to a soil level of S (sulfur) that is between about 50 and about 300 ppm, preferably between about 75 and about 300 ppm, more preferably between about 100 and about 250 ppm;
    and


    d) Wherein compounds (b) are different from compounds (a).

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing highly digestible, partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material, preferably from feathers, hair, wool, hooves or nails, comprising the steps of (1) hydrolyzing keratinaceous material in the presence of water, in a hydrolyzer with heat and at a pressure between about 2 bar and about 100 bar to obtain a partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material; (2) pre-drying the partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material of step (1) to obtain a semi-dried partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material having a solids content of about 50 wt % or higher, preferably between 60-85 wt %; and (3) concurrently drying and grinding the semi-dried partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material of step (2) in an air turbulence mill, at about atmospheric pressure to obtain dried partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material; wherein preferably steps (2) and (3) are carried out such that the drop in pepsin and/or ileal digestibility caused by steps (2) and (3) is less than 10%, and/or the pepsin and ileal digestibility of the dried partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material is higher than respectively 75% and 80%; wherein the resultant dried partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material comprises at least partly insoluble material, and wherein the average particle size of the dried partly hydrolyzed keratinaceous material (d50) leaving the air turbulence mill is between 20 μm and 0.7 mm and the d90 is below 1 mm as measured with laser diffraction using a dry powder Beckman Coulter particle size analyzer.

    摘要: A process for the production of potassium sulphate by conversion of potassium chloride and sulphuric acid using a muffle furnace, said furnace comprising a reaction chamber and a combustion chamber, wherein in the reaction chamber potassium chloride (KCI) and potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4) are reacted to form potassium sulphate while supplying heat to the reaction chamber from the combustion chamber, wherein the combustion chamber has at least a pair of regenerative burners and wherein the process comprises the steps of alternatingly causing one of the regenerative burners to perform a combustion operation in the combustion chamber to heat the reaction chamber and another of the regenerative burners to perform a heat-regenerating operation in a regenerator, wherein the pressure in the combustion chamber is kept at a pressure of between 0.2 and 3 mbarg.
