What are the raw materials used in a BB fertilizer production line?
BB fertilizer, or blended fertilizer, is a new type of fertilizer made by mixing various single-element or compound fertilizers in a specific ratio using a specific process. The choice of raw materials directly determines the nutrient content and application effect of the fertilizer, playing a core role in the operation of a BB fertilizer production line.
Nitrogen raw materials are an important component of BB fertilizer, commonly including urea, ammonium chloride, and ammonium sulfate. Urea has a high nitrogen content, reaching approximately 46%, is easily soluble in water, and has a relatively stable fertilizer release, making it suitable for various crops. Ammonium chloride contains about 25%-26% nitrogen and is relatively inexpensive, but because it contains chloride ions, it is more suitable for chloride-tolerant crops such as rice. Ammonium sulfate contains 20%-21% nitrogen and, in addition to providing nitrogen, also supplements sulfur, making it suitable for sulfur-sensitive crops such as rapeseed and peanuts.
Phosphorus raw materials often use superphosphate, triple superphosphate, and diammonium phosphate. Superphosphate contains 12%-20% available phosphorus, along with other medium-level elements such as calcium and sulfur, which can improve soil structure. Triple superphosphate has an even higher available phosphorus content, reaching 40%-50%, making it a high-concentration phosphate fertilizer with significant fertilizer effect and low dosage. Diammonium phosphate not only contains phosphorus but also about 18% nitrogen, making it a binary composite raw material that can simultaneously meet the crop's nitrogen and phosphorus requirements, and is widely used in BB fertilizer production.
Potassium raw materials mainly include potassium chloride and potassium sulfate. Potassium chloride contains about 50%-60% potassium, is economical, and is a common source of potassium in BB fertilizer production; however, the chlorine tolerance of crops must still be considered. Potassium sulfate contains 45%-52% potassium, does not contain chloride ions, has a wider range of applications, and is especially suitable for chlorine-sensitive crops such as tobacco and grapes, and can also supplement crops with sulfur.
In addition, BB fertilizer production lines add auxiliary raw materials, such as micronutrient fertilizers (iron, zinc, boron, etc.), slow-release agents, and conditioners, to enhance the overall performance of the fertilizer, achieve precision fertilization, and help improve the quality and efficiency of agricultural production, based on the needs of different crops and soils.
In summary, the raw materials for BB fertilizer production lines cover the three core nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—as well as various auxiliary raw materials. These raw materials have different characteristics and complementary advantages. The scientific combination and selection of these raw materials is not only key to ensuring the quality of BB fertilizer but also an important support for promoting the development of agriculture towards precision and efficiency.
