N.P.K. FERTILIZER
[EIRI/EDPR/1575] J.C.370
INTRODUCTION
Straight fertilizers such as Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Ammonium Nitrate (AN), Ammonium Sulphate (AS), Urea, Single Superphosphate (SSP), Triple Superphosphate (TSP), Potash (Potassium Chloride) (MOP) and combined types such as Mono-Ammonium Phosphate (MAP), Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) are well-defined products made using well-defined processes.
Compound or complex fertilisers such as NPK, are more difficult to define as there is an infinite number of N/P/K-ratios and the processes applied in their production are numerous.
The product name “NPK” is normally followed by three numbers to indicate the percent,of N, P2O5 and K2O which the product contains, e.g. 24–6–12 indicates that this particular grade contains 24% N (nitrogen compounds), 6% P2O5 (phosphorus compounds) and 12% K2O (potassium compounds). In addition, the fertilizer may contain magnesium, boron, sulphur, micro-nutrients, etc. The typical content of nutrients (N + P2O5 + K2O) will normally be in the range of 40-60%.
Grades with no P2O5 or no K2O are also included in the “NPK” product range but they are normally named NP and NK fertilizers. These types of fertilizers can normally be produced in NPK plants and emission levels will typically be within the limits valid for NPK grades.
The most widespread NPK fertilizers in Europe contain nitrate and/or ammonium salts.
