#Ammonium Sulfate Industry

[mariacallous]

On March 2, she was gone. The Belize-flagged, British-owned bulk carrier Rubymar sank in the narrow water lane between the coasts of Yemen and Eritrea. The Rubymar was the first vessel that has been completely lost since the Houthis began their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea—and its demise, with 21,000 metric tons of ammonium phosphate sulfate fertilizer, spells ecological disaster. A similar substance—ammonium nitrate—caused the devastating explosion at the Port of Beirut in 2020. It had been stored there after being abandoned on a vessel and authorities intervened to prevent an environmental disaster.

Because the Houthis have no regard for the environment, there are likely to be more such disasters. Indeed, groups set on destruction could also decide to attack the carbon storage facilities now beginning to be built underneath the seabed.

For two weeks after being struck by a Houthi missile in the Red Sea, the Rubymar clung to life despite listing badly. The damage caused by the missile, though, was too severe. At 2:15 a.m. local time, the Rubymar disappeared into the depths of the Red Sea. The crew had already been rescued by another merchant vessel that had come to the Rubymar’s aid, but there was no way anyone could remove its toxic cargo.

The ship’s owner had tried to get it towed to the Port of Aden—where Yemen’s internationally recognized government is based—and to Djibouti and Saudi Arabia, but citing the environmental risk posed by the ammonium phosphate sulfate, all three nations refused to receive it.

Now enormous quantities of a hazardous substance are about to spread into the Red Sea. IGAD, a trade bloc comprising countries in the Nile Valley and the Horn of Africa, points out that the Rubymar’s fertilizer cargo and leaking fuel “could devastate marine life and destroy coral reefs, sea life and jeopardize hundreds of thousands of jobs in the fishing industry as well as cut littoral states off from supplies of food and fuel.”

Not even shipping’s option of last resort, salvage companies, seems available. “The salvage companies that normally recover vessels are reluctant to go in,” said Cormac Mc Garry, a maritime expert with intelligence firm Control Risks. That’s because salvage ships and crews, too, risk being targeted by Houthi missiles. “If a salvage company knows it’s likely to be targeted, it will hesitate to take on the task. It has a duty of care for its crew,” said Svein Ringbakken, the managing director of the Norway-based maritime insurance company DNK.

It was only a matter of time before a Houthi missile brought down one of the many tankers and bulk carriers that still traverse the Red Sea every day. (In the first two months of this year, traffic through the Red Sea was down by 50 percent compared to the same period last year.) “The Houthis have no regard for life and even less for the environment,” Ringbakken said. “They shoot missiles at ships even though they know that there are humans and hazardous cargo on them.”

For years, the Houthis allowed an oil supertanker ironically named Safer that was moored off the coast of Yemen to rust away even though she was holding more than 1 million barrels of crude oil. By the beginning of last year, the Safer was close to disintegration: an event that would have cost hundreds of thousands of Yemenis their livelihoods because it would have killed enormous quantities of fish. Indeed, had the Safer’s oil leaked, it would even have forced the Houthi-controlled ports of Hudaydah and Saleef to close, thus preventing ordinary Yemenis from receiving food and other necessities.

It would, of course, also have caused permanent damage to all manner of marine life, including coral reefs and mangroves, in the Red Sea. Then the United Nations pulled off an almost impossible feat: It got Yemen’s warring factions, international agencies, and companies to work together to transfer the oil off the Safer. Disaster was averted. “It was a massive undertaking,” Ringbakken noted. “But for years and years and years, the Houthis were adding impediments against this undertaking, even though the Safer was sitting just off the Yemeni coast.”

Indeed, maritime terrorism itself is not new. “Besides guerrillas and terrorists, attacks have been carried out by modern day pirates, ordinary criminals, fanatic environmentalists, mutinous crews, hostile workers, and foreign agents. The spectrum of actions is equally broad: ships hijacked, destroyed by mines and bombs, attacks with bazookas, sunk under mysterious circumstances; cargos removed; crews taken hostage; extortion plots against ocean liners and offshore platforms; raids on port facilities; attempts to board oil rigs; sabotage at shipyards and terminal facilities; even a plot to steal a nuclear submarine,” researchers at RAND summarized—in 1983.

Now, though, the Houthis have upped the nihilism, and unlike the guerrillas, terrorists, and pirates of the 1980s, they have the weaponry to cause an ocean-going vessel to sink. The joint U.S.-U.K. military operation against the Houthis has failed to deter the Iranian-backed militia’s attacks; indeed, not even air strikes by U.S. and U.K. forces have convinced the Houthis that it’s time to stop. On the contrary, they’re escalating their attacks. They do so because they’re completely unconcerned about loss of life within their ranks or harm to their own waters.

It’s giving them a global platform. That, in turn, is likely to encourage other militias to also attack ships carrying toxic substances—even if it ruins their own waters. The local population is hardly in a position to hold a militia accountable. Indeed, militias interested in maritime terrorism could decide that the world’s growing sea-based infrastructure is an attractive target. And there’s a new form of sea-based infrastructure they could decide to make a preferred target, not just because it’s set for explosive growth but because attacking it would guarantee a global platform: CO2 storage.

With the world having failed to reduce its carbon-dioxide emissions enough to halt climate change, CO2 storage has become an urgent priority. Through this technique, carbon dioxide can be captured and buried underground, typically underneath the ocean. Norway has, for example, begun auctioning out licenses for CO2 storage exploration on its continental shelf. So has Britain. The United States has 15 carbon-storage sites, and another 121 are being developed. Even Big Oil has discovered carbon storage. ExxonMobil is buying offshore blocks to use for carbon storage instead of oil drilling.

Carbon storage sites are, of course, designed to withstand both natural perils and man-made attacks, but that won’t prevent destructive groups—especially ones backed by a powerful state—from trying. And because groups like the Houthis are so unconcerned about all forms of life, it won’t matter to them that releasing concentrated CO2 would cause extreme harm to the planet—including themselves. Even a tiny carbon-storage leakage of 0.1 percent per year can lead to additional CO2 emissions of 25 giga-tonnes, researchers have established.

Until recently, sea-based infrastructure was only lightly guarded, because it was in everyone’s interest that it worked. The sabotage of Nord Stream and various other pipelines and undersea cables over the past two years have demonstrated that such peacefulness can no longer be taken for granted. The new CO2 sites will need not just AI-enhanced monitoring but regular patrolling to communicate to potential attackers that it’s not even worth attempting an attack.

And for now, attacking merchant vessels remains a promising and economical strategy for the Houthis and their ilk. It doesn’t seem to matter that ammonium phosphate sulfate will soon be poisoning Yemeni waters and thus depriving locals of their livelihoods. Indeed, other bulk carriers and tankers may soon join the Rubymar on the bottom of the sea, poisoning the future for even more Yemenis.

For the Houthis, what matters is not the outcome: It’s the attention. That’s what makes them such a vexing problem for the U.S. Navy and other navies, shipowners, maritime insurers, and especially for seafarers. But there is another group that should be just as worried about the rampant insecurity on the high seas: ocean conservationists.

There is, in fact, a woman with an unsurpassed green platform who could make the growing scourge of maritime terrorism her new cause. (Nearly) everyone would thank you, Greta.

I feel like she'd be fine with it, it's not like you're doing slash and burn agriculture. You're harvesting and using a plant which you planted for that purpose, and which would die by the end of the year anyways since it's an annual crop. As a fiber crop cannabis (I.e, industrial hemp) is generally considered one of the most environmentally friendly options, since it absorbs a great deal of carbon dioxide while requiring a lot less in the way of water and pesticides compared to the alternatives.

She is probably super picky about the strains and growing conditions though. Like, we're talking "ugh, how could anyone smoke this, you can tell they just used straight ammonium sulfate rather than a properly formulated NPK fertilizer. Their poor plants are just begging for potassium. But not phosphorus, which suggests they're probably growing it in the phosphate-rich soils to the west of gotham. I'll be right back."

Cheers for this magical record!

China amsul exported 2.09 million tons in Aug, 2024.

Total export quantity from Jan to Aug reached 10.03 million tons, 1.5 million tons more than same period last year. China ammonium sulfate export made new records again!

15 years ago, ammonium sulphate as Environmental by-product from steel factories, caprolactam factories,chemical factories and so on, total exported quantity was very small. Large scale companies barely do this business. They focused on urea, phosphate fertilizer, compound fertilizer, and some other large quantity fertilizers.

With production capacity increase of ammonium sulfate in China, the export quantity increased year by year, covered more than 70% production capacity in global market. China amsul play very important role in international nitrogen market. 

However, the market got change along with CIQ from China government, which China are not able to export large quantity of Urea, phosphate and NPK. some companies have to do ammonium sulphate business. 

In 2021, China amsul export quantity reached 10 million tons, made big surprise for fertilizer traders and distributors. Many big companies turn around to do ammonium sulphate business. specially some national big companies spent a lot of money to build new production line of Granular ammonium sulphate.

Since I started to do ammonium sulfate business in 2011, I have honor to witness gradual increase of China ammonium sulfate export and every important moment.

Before: mainly ammonium sulphate business was amsul steel grade powder and amsul standard crystal, package in 50kg or 25kg, granular ammonium sulphate was not very popular, due to dust and caking issue. Delivery way mainly by containers, or some small vessel, such as 10KMT ~3KMT and combine with other fertilizers.

Now: mainly amsul business was Granular ammonium sulphate and standard amsul , granular amsul much poplular than crystal amsul, because average quality increased a lot. Package in Bulk or 1250KG Jumbo bag. Bulk shipments are very common, max vessel more than 80KMT. BBV as second popular way. Only very small quantity be shipped by containers.

No matter how the market change and ammonium sulfate industry develop. As a member of the ammonium sulfate industry, we have never given up the pursuit of quality, cherish relationship with customers always and develop together.

Organic fertilizer, as an important auxiliary material in agricultural production, the amount of raw materials is directly related to the effect and cost of fertilizer. When developing the amount of organic fertilizer raw materials, a variety of factors need to be considered, including the type of raw materials, soil conditions, crop needs, etc. This article will explain how to determine the amount of raw materials in organic fertilizer.

1. Types and characteristics of raw materials There are a variety of raw materials for organic fertilizer, including livestock manure, crop straw, food processing waste and so on. Each ingredient is different in its nutritional composition and physical properties. For example, livestock manure usually contains higher nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, while crop straw is rich in cellulose and lignin, which can improve soil structure. When determining the amount of raw materials, it is necessary to first analyze the characteristics of raw materials to ensure that the nutritional content of organic fertilizers meets the needs of crops.

2. Consideration of soil conditions Soil fertility status is another important factor in determining the amount of organic fertilizer raw materials. Through soil testing, you can understand the content and proportion of nutrients in the soil, so as to determine the amount of nutrients that need to be supplemented. For example, if the nitrogen content of the soil is low, it may be necessary to increase the amount of nitrogen-containing raw materials such as urea or ammonium sulfate. The pH value of the soil also affects the availability of nutrients in the organic fertilizer raw material, so the pH of the soil needs to be considered when setting the dosage.

3. Demand analysis of crops Different crops have different nutrient needs, so when determining the amount of organic fertilizer raw materials, it is also necessary to consider the type and growth stage of the crop. For example, leafy vegetables have higher nitrogen requirements, while fruit trees require more phosphorus and potassium during fruit development. By understanding the nutrient requirements of crops, the proportion of raw materials in organic fertilizers can be reasonably allocated to achieve the best fertilization effect.

In the process of industrial Production of Organic Fertilizer, it is necessary to control the amount and proportion of raw materials through the Organic Fertilizer Production Line. Production lines usually include raw material handling, mixing, granulation, drying and packaging. In these links, the use of Fertilizer Granules Compaction Machine and Flat-Die Pellet Machine can ensure that the raw materials are evenly mixed and form suitable particles for easy application.

Conclusion Determining the amount of raw materials used in organic fertilizers is a process that takes into account the characteristics of raw materials, soil conditions, crop needs and production processes. Through scientific management and control, both economic and efficient organic fertilizer products can be produced to support agricultural production. I hope this article can help you better understand the relevant knowledge of the amount of organic fertilizer raw materials, and make reasonable decisions in practical applications.

Ammonium Sulphate Prices | Pricing | Trend | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

 Ammonium Sulphate Prices is a widely used fertilizer in the agricultural industry, prized for its ability to provide essential nutrients such as nitrogen and sulfur to crops. This inorganic salt has been a key component in global agriculture for many decades, helping farmers enhance crop yield and soil quality. The pricing of ammonium sulfate is influenced by a myriad of factors, making it a subject of interest for stakeholders across the supply chain, from producers and traders to farmers and agricultural consultants.

The price of ammonium sulfate is closely tied to the global demand and supply dynamics. Demand for ammonium sulfate is primarily driven by the agricultural sector, where it is used as a fertilizer to provide nitrogen and sulfur, which are vital nutrients for plant growth. Sulfur, in particular, has gained importance in recent years due to its role in the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, and enzymes in plants. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for food increases, leading to higher demand for fertilizers, including ammonium sulfate. Consequently, periods of high agricultural activity often correlate with higher prices for ammonium sulfate, as the need for efficient and effective fertilizers becomes paramount.

Supply, on the other hand, is influenced by several factors, including the availability of raw materials, production capacity, and geopolitical considerations. Ammonium sulfate is often produced as a byproduct in the manufacturing of caprolactam, a precursor to nylon production. Therefore, the production levels of caprolactam can have a direct impact on the availability and price of ammonium sulfate. When caprolactam production is high, there is generally an ample supply of ammonium sulfate, which can help stabilize prices. However, if production levels drop due to plant shutdowns, maintenance, or other disruptions, the supply of ammonium sulfate can become constrained, leading to price increases.

Another factor affecting ammonium sulfate prices is the cost of raw materials and energy. The production of ammonium sulfate requires sulfuric acid and ammonia, both of which are derived from natural gas or petroleum. Fluctuations in the prices of these commodities can directly impact the production cost of ammonium sulfate. For example, a spike in natural gas prices can lead to higher production costs for ammonia, which in turn can increase the price of ammonium sulfate. Additionally, energy costs play a significant role, as the production process is energy-intensive. Any changes in energy prices, whether due to market conditions or regulatory changes, can affect the overall cost structure of producing ammonium sulfate, leading to price volatility.

Geopolitical factors also have a significant impact on the pricing of ammonium sulfate. The global fertilizer market is highly interconnected, with many countries relying on imports to meet their domestic demand. Trade policies, tariffs, and sanctions can all influence the flow of ammonium sulfate across borders, affecting prices. For instance, if a major exporting country imposes export restrictions or if there is a trade dispute between key producers and consumers, the supply of ammonium sulfate on the global market can be disrupted, leading to price increases. Conversely, the lifting of trade barriers or the signing of new trade agreements can increase the availability of ammonium sulfate, potentially leading to lower prices.

Environmental regulations also play a crucial role in determining ammonium sulfate prices. As countries around the world implement stricter environmental standards, particularly regarding emissions and waste management, the cost of compliance for fertilizer producers can increase. These costs are often passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. For example, if a country enforces new regulations requiring producers to reduce emissions during the manufacturing process, companies may need to invest in new technology or modify their production processes, leading to increased costs. Additionally, regulations related to the safe handling and disposal of byproducts can also impact production costs, further influencing the price of ammonium sulfate.

Market speculation and investor sentiment can also contribute to price fluctuations in ammonium sulfate. Like many other commodities, ammonium sulfate is subject to trading on global markets, where prices can be influenced by speculative activities. If investors believe that the demand for fertilizers will increase due to factors such as adverse weather conditions or crop failures, they may drive up prices through increased buying activity. Conversely, if there is a perception that demand will decrease due to favorable growing conditions or oversupply, prices may fall as a result of reduced buying interest.

Currency exchange rates are another factor that can affect the price of ammonium sulfate, particularly for countries that rely heavily on imports. If a country's currency weakens against the US dollar, the cost of importing ammonium sulfate can increase, leading to higher prices for domestic consumers. This is particularly relevant for developing countries where currency volatility is more common. On the other hand, a stronger currency can make imports cheaper, potentially leading to lower prices.

Finally, seasonal factors also play a role in the pricing of ammonium sulfate. The demand for fertilizers tends to be higher during the planting seasons, leading to price increases during these periods. Conversely, during the off-season, when agricultural activity slows down, demand for ammonium sulfate may decrease, leading to lower prices. This seasonality is an important consideration for farmers and agricultural suppliers when planning their purchases and inventory levels.

In conclusion, the price of ammonium sulfate is influenced by a complex interplay of factors including demand and supply dynamics, raw material costs, energy prices, geopolitical considerations, environmental regulations, market speculation, currency exchange rates, and seasonal variations. Understanding these factors is crucial for stakeholders in the agricultural industry, as they navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the ever-changing fertilizer market. As the global demand for food continues to rise, the importance of ammonium sulfate as a key agricultural input is likely to grow, making its pricing an increasingly critical area of focus for the industry.

The mystery of NPK fertilizer manufacturing process in modern agriculture

The NPK fertilizer manufacturing process is a complex and delicate process, which needs to go through multiple processes to finally produce high-quality fertilizer products. First of all, the choice of raw materials is a crucial step. NPK fertilizer raw materials mainly include nitrogen fertilizer raw materials (such as urea, ammonium chloride, etc.), phosphate fertilizer raw materials (such as mono-ammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, etc.) and potassium fertilizer raw materials (such as potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, etc.). The quality and purity of these raw materials directly affect the quality and effect of the final fertilizer product. Therefore, when selecting raw materials, it is necessary to screen in strict accordance with national standards and industry norms to ensure the quality and safety of raw materials.

Next, the crushing and mixing of raw materials is a key step in the NPK fertilizer manufacturing process. In this stage, the raw material needs to be crushed into fine particles for better mixing and reaction. In order to ensure the uniformity and stability of mixing, advanced mixing equipment and processes are usually used, such as two-shaft mixers and disk granulators.

The mixed raw material then needs to be granulated. Granulation is the process of processing powdered raw materials into pellets, which can improve the fluidity, stability and ease of application of fertilizers. At present, the commonly used granulation methods are extrusion granulation, disk granulation, drum granulation and so on.

The granulated fertilizer particles need to be dried and cooled. In this stage, the fertilizer particles need to be heated to a certain temperature to remove the water in them, and then cooled to bring them to the right temperature for storage and transportation. The drying and cooling process requires strict control of temperature and time to ensure the quality and stability of the fertilizer particles.

Finally, the dried and cooled fertilizer pellets need to be screened and packaged. Screening is to screen out fertilizer particles that do not meet specifications to ensure the quality and consistency of the final product. Packaging is the packing of qualified fertilizer particles into bags or containers for storage, transportation and sales.

In short, the NPK fertilizer manufacturing process is a complex and delicate process that requires multiple steps to ultimately produce a high-quality fertilizer product. In this process, every link needs to be strictly controlled for quality and safety to ensure the quality and effect of the final product. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of agriculture, the NPK fertilizer manufacturing process will continue to innovate and improve, providing a more solid guarantee for the development of modern agriculture.

What are the Types of Concrete Admixtures?

Admixtures are components of concrete mix designs that modify the characteristics of the concrete. Chemical admixtures come in a range of forms and can modify the permeability, viscosity, water requirements, set time, and other characteristics of the concrete. 

Admixtures of concrete that include ATBS monomer are used to improve the performance of cement-based products. 

Types of Admixtures Used in Concrete 

Water Reducing Admixtures 

The phrase "water-reducing additive" implies that water reducers make concrete, cement, and grout workable without adding water. The three types of plasticizers are superplasticizers, mid-range plasticizers, and plasticizers. Common plasticizers use 10% less water, mid-range plasticizers 15% less, and superplasticizers 30% less. Plasticizers like sodium, calcium, and ammonium lignosulphonates are common. These superplasticizers include polycarboxylates, multicarboxylatethers, and acrylic polymers. 

Retarding Admixtures 

Retarders slow cement hydration and set time. Certain concrete admixtures may be used with frequent temperature changes, and concrete must be transported long distances. Many retarding admixtures include gypsum and calcium sulfate. Other retarders include cellulose derivatives, starch, sugar, acid salts, etc. 

Accelerating Admixtures 

Accelerating admixtures accelerate concrete setting and early hardening, thus their name. They speed up concrete hydration, increasing early-stage strength. Concrete accelerators include calcium chloride, silica fume, finely split silica gel, etc. Calcium chloride is a cheap and popular accelerator.  

Air-entraining concrete admixture 

Air-entraining admixtures are aimed at improving the durability of concrete during freezing, dewatering, and thawing. These admixtures add millions of air bubbles to concrete, enhancing its properties. Accelerating additives include calcium formate, triethanolamine, calcium chloride, silica fume, and finely split silica gel. Accelerating additive calcium chloride is inexpensive and popular. 

Damp-proof or waterproof Admixtures 

Damp or waterproofing admixtures make concrete impervious to water and prevent dampness. Liquid, powder, paste, and other damp-proofing admixtures are available. These admixtures include aluminum, zinc, chloride, calcium chloride, soda sulfate, and other chemically active pore fillers. 

Gas forming Admixtures 

Gas production frequently uses activated carbon, hydrogen peroxide, and aluminum powder. Tiny hydrogen gas bubbles occur in concrete when gas-forming chemical admixtures react with cement-derived hydroxide. Hydrogen peroxide, aluminum powder, and activated carbon are common gas-producing chemicals. Gas-producing admixtures make lightweight concrete. 

Air detraining Admixtures 

These admixtures are used to remove excess air from concrete voids. Tributyl phosphate, water-insoluble alcohols, silicones, and others are popular air-entrained admixtures. 

Corrosion Inhibiting Admixtures 

In reinforced concrete buildings, steel corrosion worsens with chlorides, salty water, industrial odors, etc. Corrosion-preventing additives inhibit the process. Reinforced cement concrete uses corrosion-preventing admixtures such as sodium nitrate, sodium benzoate, and sodium nitrite. 

Bonding Admixtures 

Bonding admixtures are needed to bind old and fresh concrete. When fresh concrete is poured over hardened concrete, the weak linkages with the old surface increase the likelihood of failure. This admixture, offered by a top concrete admixture manufacturer, is used for pavement overlays, roof screeds, repairs, etc. Bonding admixtures are water emulsions made from synthetic rubber, natural rubber, polyvinyl chloride, and acetate. 

Fungicidal, Germicidal, Insecticidal Admixtures 

The mix should be fungicidal, germicidal, and insecticidal to prevent bacteria, germs, and fungus from growing on hardened concrete structures. Polyhalogenated phenols, dieldrin emulsions, copper compounds, etc., may improve concrete's properties. 

Colouring Admixtures 

The concrete's color comes from coloring chemical admixtures. Colorants shouldn't affect concrete strength. Adding coloring admixtures to cement in a ball mill creates colored cement for concrete. This table shows several coloring admixtures and their colors. 

Conclusion 

Apart from cement, sand, and aggregate, other construction materials may also be used in concrete. They improve concrete's resistance to freezing, sulfate attack, controlled setting, hardening, strength, and workability, etc.
