They say they're not patenting the mixture - does anyone have more details on the chemistry? It sounds like they've found a way to prevent the nitrate-sulfate

It sounds like they've found a way to prevent the nitrate-sulfate substitution from occurring directly in the fertilizer, which is very interesting if true.
- icegreentea 13y agoWell, the compounds themselves are typically in solid phase. I would assume that the mix is just composed of an adequately well mixed combination of iron sulfate and ammonium nitrate crystals. If you make them have pretty much the same size, and sufficiently small, then you make mechanical separation unlikely/impossible.
- yew 13y agoThat's certainly a possibility. I'm just wondering if Sandia has provided more details themselves.
