Simulation of the microalgae-enriched nitrogen fertilizer granulation mechanism using the DEM method
Incorporating 60% recycle into urea–microalgae mixtures increased the yield of commercial-sized granules (2.0–4.0 mm) to about 68%, with DEM-based molecular modelling confirming its role in optimizing fertilizer production.
