Fertilizer is a material that is added to the soil to supply one or more elements required for plant growth and productiveness. Plants need to be fertilized because most soil does not provide the essential nutrients required for optimum growth.
The three numbers on fertilizer represents the value of the three macro-nutrients used by plants. These macro-nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) or NPK for short. All plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to grow. Without enough of any one of these nutrients, a plant will fail. An NPK fertilizer provides those three nutrients in ratios particular to the plant being grown.

Business Plan- NPK Fertilizer & Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN). Growing Industry to Start a Business.
Ammonium nitrate (AN) is one among the foremost common commercially available nitrogen fertilizers, the content of nitrogen during which amounts up to 35% by mass. The most agrochemical advantage of a compared to other simple nitrogen fertilizers is to present nitrogen both in ammonia and nitrate forms. Herewith, the high content of this component enables to combine it with other varieties of fertilizers and acquire complex fertilizer with the high content of basic nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The most disadvantages of such sorts of fertilizers are their high hygroscopicity, caking and therefore the increased requirements for fire and explosion safety.

Plan an ETP with detail process discussion following the instructionsMd Fahimuzzaman
Effluent is the stream of excess chemical liquor from an industry after using in original operation. For example, the excess dye liquor extracted from the textile industry after dyeing is an effluent of that dyeing industry. Effluent Treatment Plant or ETP is a waste water treatment method which is particularly designed to purify industrial waste water for its reuse and it’s aim is to release safe water to environment from the harmful effect caused by the effluent. Textile industry uses numerous hazardous chemicals during processing such as heavy metals, salts, surfactants, sulphite, and formaldehyde, which can cause major pollution in the effluents’ receiving waters. Since textile waste water contains a diversity of impurities and therefore specific treatment technology called ETP is required. The ETP Plant works at various levels and involves various physical, chemical, biological and membrane processes to treat waste water from different industrial sectors like chemicals, drugs, pharmaceutical, refineries, dairy, ready mix plants & textile etc.
The efficient disposal of effluent from meat plants and meat-processing works is important because of the possible pollution of water – courses. Hence an effluent treatment plant (ETP) is necessary in all modern abattoirs/meat plants. The objective of effluent treatment is to produce a product that can be safely discharged into a waterway or sewer in compliance with the recommended limits for discharge.
With rising crude prices and depleting quality of crude, however, the level of wastewater pollutants in petroleum wastewater is at new high. Such conditions are forcing refineries to use a more advanced water treatment, water recovery methods, and robust processes that work well under a variety of conditions and can handle the changing refinery effluent flow rates. Finally a process that is economical in overall life time cost is needed to make all of this feasible. Aquatech has experience working with these refinery effluent pollutants in the refinery market and offers the advanced petroleum wastewater treatment and recovery technology necessary for the refinery’s needs.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

2. INTRODUCTION
Fertilizer is defined as any substance which is organic
or inorganic, natural or artificial supplies one or more of the
chemical elements required for plant growth . The fertilizer
industries are playing a crucial role in the production of food
grain to meet the requirements of increasing population.
Today there are 32 major fertilizer complexes in
India with production capacity of 53,80,000 and 1,45,09,000 tones
of nitrogenous and phosphate fertilizers respectively .Pollution due
to these fertilizer industry is found in air ,water and soil.
3. CLASSIFICATION OF FERTILISER PLANTS
Fertiliser plants in India can be classified into
following five categories.
Ammonia and urea plants
Ammonia, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate plants
Ammonia, urea , phosphoric acid and complex fertilizer plants
Ammonia, urea , ammonium sulphate and sulphuric acid plants
Ammonia, urea, phosphoric acid, nitric acid , sulphuric acid and
complex fertilizer plants
4. POLLUTANTS IN LIQUID AND
GASEOUS DISCHARGES
A typical analysis of the total liquid waste from a fertiliser
complex giving out an average liquid effluent flow of 20,000
tonnes/day gives the following results
The chief gaseous pollutants are sulphur dioxide , oxides of
nitrogen ,fluorine and particulate matter of different sizes and
natures.
TOTAL NITROGEN 400-1000mg/l
UREA NITROGEN 400-800mg/l
PHOSPHATES 70-500mg/l
FLUORIDE 10-20mg/l
ARSENIC 1-2.5mg/l

6. Effluents from each units in a fertilizer complex needs to be
treated before it get discharged into atmosphere. Treatment
processes associated with each unit separates the pollutants or by –
products and uses it for other purposes.
7. The main constituents from an ammonia plant are
Carbon particles
Oil droplets
Hydrogen sulphide
Nitrogen –wash tail gases
8. Removal of carbon
Synthesis gas(a mixture of CO and H2 produced industrially especially
from coal and used to produce various synthetic chemicals) produced
by the cracking of naphtha , fuel oil and other hydrocarbons in
several fertilizer units contain soot particles along with the
gaseous products.
Soot particles should be removed before the purification and
separation of gases. This is done by scrubbing the gases with
water in venturi scrubbers.
The soot particles thus get removed from the gaseous mixture
into the water to form a slurry.
9. The fine carbon particles in water do not settle easily during
primary treatment and can reduce bacterial activity in the secondary
treatment. When let into water bodies ,they adversely affect aquatic
life by blocking sunlight and oxygen.
Failure of primary treatment (for the separation of carbon particles
from the slurry)is due to the fine particle size.
The most commonly used method for the separation of carbon
particles is by mixing the slurry with mineral oil. The carbon
particles moves to the oil phase which is separated by gravity.
Distillation of oil helps to recover carbon . The carbon obtained
by this method always contains a small amount of mineral oil and
can be used as a fuel.
10. Oil removal
Another liquid stream coming from a typical
ammonia plant contains oil from the compressor bay. An oil
separator followed by adsorption by coke helps reduce the oil
content to a value lower than 10 mg/l.
11. Hydrogen sulphide removal
The feedstock for the production of synthesis gas contains
naphtha, fuel oil, hydrocarbons e.t.c. Most of all the feed stokes
contain some quantity of sulphur. During cracking sulphur gets
converted to H2S (hydrogen sulphide),which is recovered and
burnt.
SO2 (Sulphur dioxide) obtained from the combustion of H2S can
be converted to H2SO4 ( sulphuric acid) or to sulphur by Claus
process (Claus process is the most significant gas desulphurizing
process, recovering elemental sulphur from gaseous hydrogen
sulphide)
12. Nitrogen- wash tail gas
Carbon monoxide, which is a major component of synthetic gas
can be removed by using nitrogen.
The exit nitrogen wash gas contains approximately 45% by
volume of CO, 5% H2, 5% CH4, and the rest (45% ) N2.
The exit stream can be used for the catalytic reduction of oxides
of nitrogen in the exit stream associated with a nitric acid plant
,this is because of its high calorific value.
13. For every tone of ammonium sulphate produced from natural
gypsum or phospho gypsum, about 0.75 tone of chalk is
produced as a by -product.
The chalk thus produced contain impurities like ammonium
sulphate, ammonium hydroxide and unreacted gypsum.
After removing undesirable impurities followed by proper
conditioning and treatment, chalk can be utilized in the
production of cement.
14. Solid waste
The important solid product of phosphoric acid plants is
gypsum and its quantity varies from 4-6 tonnes/ tonne of P2O5
produced as phosphoric acid.
The gypsum thus produced contains fluorine (1-1.5 %) and
P2O5 (1- 2%). Their presence makes its use undesirable in cement
manufacture.
The method of phosphoric acid manufacture has now been
changed to the dihydrate –hemihydrate process, making it
possible to get pure grades of gypsum containing low quantities
of fluorine and P2O5.
15. Liquid Effluent
The liquid effluent contains acidic and fluoride bearing
chemicals which can be removed by neutralization and
precipitation processes using lime solution.
Gaseous discharge
The chief gaseous pollutant from phosphoric acid plant is
fluorine. It has harmful effects on the health of living beings
as it leads to bone decay and smarting of skin.
Fluorine from the effluent gas can be removed by scrubbing
the gas containing fluorine with silicic acid in a high pressure
venturi scrubber.
16. The recovered hydrofluoro-silicic acid is a starting
material for a manufacture of cryolite and other fluorine
bearing compounds.
The recovery of fluorine from gases from phosphoric
acid plant is an important example of pollution abatement
combined with recovery and production of important
chemicals.
17.
18. Liquid Effluent
The liquid effluent from the complex fertilizer plant consists of
ammoniacal nitrogen, fluoride, and phosphates.
The effluent is first reacted with lime at a pH of 7-8 and then
at a pH of about 11 in the second stage of treatment.
At the end of each of the stages a clariflocculator is used. The
chemically –dosed effluent enters the centre of the clariflocculator
and moves radially outwards in the circular unit. Gentle agitation
by means of a paddle agitator helps the particle to grow in size
and moves downwards. The deposited sludge is racked towards the
inner wall and discharged into sludge lagoons and dried. The
water flows upwards into a peripheral launder and is collected in
a vessel where a final adjustment of pH is done before discharge
or reuse.
19. Gaseous Emissions
The gaseous emissions from a complex fertilizer unit contains dust
produced from the granulation or prilling units.
As per industry specifications, the particulate matter emitted
through stacks should not exceed 0.5mg/l of product for single super
phosphate plants and 4kg/tonne of product in the case of triple
super phosphate plants.
A wide variety of collection equipment with varying collection
efficiencies are available for the removal of particles from granulation
and prilling units.
20. VENTURI SCRUBBER
venturi scrubber is one of the most
important wet scrubbers used to
remove particulate matter.
A venturi scrubber consists of a
convergent portion where the
velocity of the gas increases up to
the throat where the liquid enters.
Throat, the narrowest portion in the
length of the venturi scrubber,
accelerates the gas velocity.
The kinetic energy of the gas breaks
the liquid entering at the throat into
a very fine spray.
The particles carried by the gas are
separated onto the liquid droplet
surface by diffusion and
interception.
venturi scrubber can reduce the dust
level in fertilizer plants to 0.06mg/l
