Acidification of soil is serious global problem which is caused by: the precipitation from the atmosphere of acidifying gases (SO 2, NH 3, HNO 3, etc. ) n the application of acidifying fertilizes (urea, ammonium salts, etc. ) n n nutrient uptake by crops n the mineralization of organic matter n leaching processes in soil in climatic regions where the evaporation is lower than annual rainfall, etc. IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017
Acidification of soil in Estonia n n In Estonia the evaporation is about 250 -300 mm lower than the annual average rainfall, and as a result of that, calcium and magnesium compounds are washed out from the upper layers of the soil under the influence of soil filtrating water – leaching of carbonates occurs, and soil becomes acidic and less fertile. In Estonia there is 350 000 ha of agricultural land that needs permanent annual liming. IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017

The aim of this work was to study the possibilities of granulation of OS ashes for obtaining granulated products suitable for their use in liming of acidic soils. Experiments were focused on three important parameters which are mostly considered in the case of fertilizers: - particle size, - compressive strength, - leachability of components.

Morphology CFBC/ESPA, 1 field PF/CA • CFBC ashes are characterized by irregular shape and porous and uneven surface. The glassy phase is not formed. • PF ashes are characterized by regular spherical shape with smooth surface. The glassy phase significantly affects the formation of particle shape and surface properties. IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017
Methods n n n Laboratory plate granulators (d = 0. 55 m and 1. 4 m) and EIRICH mixer-type granulator were used for granulation, and Bonnot 2. 25’’ extruder was used for pelletizing of oil shale ashes. Clay and clinker dust (10%) were used as solid binding additives. Liquid binders: ash transportation water (TW), water glass (WG), black liquor (BL), lignosulphonate (LS), polyacrylamide (PAA), carbonylmethylcellulose (CMC), etc. Different storing and drying regimes for treatment of green granules were used: - dried at 105°C or at 60°C, - stored hermetically closed ( HC), - stored/dried in open air (OA) at room temperature (RT), - stored in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide (CO 2). n IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017
Methods n For determination of leachability of ash components the granulated products, and, for comparison, origin ashes were tested using laboratory lysimetries. Granulated as well as non-granulated ashes were mixed in the upper part (1/3 level) of Gleyic Podzoluvisol soil (p. H=4. 7) with stoutness of 0. 25 m. The mass of samples was calculated on the level of 7. 5 t Ca. CO 3 ha-1 considering the content of calcium in studied samples. The content of moisture in soil was held on the level of 40 -50% considering the saturation ability of soil with moisture. IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017

The content of free Ca. O in the ashes causes in contact with water, especially at HC storing of granules, the reaction of free Ca. O and water with the formation of calcium hydroxide: Ca. O + H 2 O = Ca(OH)2 When the granules are dried at RT or green granules are stored in OA the calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide contained in air with the formation of calcium carbonate increasing the final strength of granules via forming mineral binding bridges between the particles in granule: Ca(OH)2 + CO 2 = Ca.

Interim conclusions n n n It has been shown that the most voluminous kinds of OS ashes (CFBC/MIX, ESPA I, PF/CA and De. SOx) can be granulated and a success of the process depends on the number of ash characteristics and process parameters. The results obtained showed that the compressive strength of granules is strongly dependent on reactions occurring during granule formation and their following drying. Using different solid binding additives and liquid binders as well as different drying regimes makes it possible to obtain granules resistant to compressive strength of 5 -20 N per granule. At that 85% of the produced granules had a diameter of 1 -5 mm and 70 -75% of these a diameter of 1 -3 mm. IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017

Lysimetric tests n The filtrates were collected on the 2 nd, 8 th and 22 nd week after starting the test. The content of Ca 2+, Mg 2+, K+ and SO 42 - was establised in filtrates. Before and after the test the soil was analyzed on the content of available calcium, magnesium, potassium and sulphate ions, and p. HKCl value were also determined.

Conclusions n n n The main technologigal parameters for granulation of the most voluminous kinds of OS ashes (CFBC/MIX, ESPA I, PF/CA and De. SOx) using plate and Eirich-type granulators have been worked out. They are ready for future control and development at large scale demonstration equipment. The mechanism of formation of OS ash granules and main parameters influencing on it has been elaborated. Granulation allowes to enrich the granulated products with different nutrients required for normal growth of plants. IX Oil Shale Conference, 16 November 2017
Conclusions n The results of lysimetric test indicated that using of granulated OS ashes have several advantages comparing with fine ashes: - granulation of ashes gives a real chance to regulate and control the speed of leaching of ash components into soil, - the soil neutralizing ability of granulated products is prolonged (extended) allowing to lime acidic soils more seldom being at that more effective comparing with fine ashes, - the transportation, handling and uniformity of spreading using granulated ashes is improved, - the loss of ions with probable contamination of subsoil water and water-bodies is also diminished.
