Sulfuric acid is a fundamental component of the chemical industry, underpinning the production of most modern mineral fertilizers. Understanding the processes of its interaction with natural raw materials, such as apatites and phosphorites, is critical for agronomy specialists, as it is on these chemical principles that the production of simple superphosphate and compound nitrogen-phosphorus compositions is based. Knowledge of the properties of the resulting products and their synthesis technologies allows agronomists to approach the choice of mineral top dressing consciously, taking into account the composition and features of each specific fertilizer, including ammonium sulfate.
This selection combines materials that reveal both the industrial significance of sulfuric acid and the methods of analytical chemistry in plant growing and livestock. Readers will find a detailed analysis of the physicochemical foundations of fertilizer production, as well as modern methods of laboratory control. In addition, the articles cover key aspects of the identification of proteins, carbohydrates, and reserve polysaccharides, which provides a comprehensive view of biochemical processes in plants and methods of qualitative analysis of agricultural products. The information presented will be useful for deepening professional knowledge in the field of agricultural chemistry and quality control of production processes.
