DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER PELLETS TECHNOLOGY USING LICORICE MEAL AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TECHNOLOGY

The results of a study on the production of granulated organic fertilizer based on oxidized licorice meal with hydrogen peroxide and 5% bentonite suspension have been presented in this article. Evidence shows that incorporating bentonite suspension during the granulation process of oxidized meal enhances the physical characteristics of the granules, resulting in increased strength. The commercial properties of fertilizers have been determined: hygroscopicity, moisture capacity, caking, granule strength. A basic technological scheme, an optimal technological mode and a material balance are proposed for the production of granulated organic fertilizer using oxidized licorice meal, hydrogen peroxide and a bentonite suspension.
