METHOD FOR PRODUCING GRANULATED ADDITIVES OF PEAT Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: processing peat. SUBSTANCE: method involves preparing raw material for heat treatment (its initial humidity being 67-72%) and separating materials after heat treatment takes place. Said separation is carried out by artificial dehydration, thus scrup and saccharified residue are produced. Said residue is ground and mixed as mentioned above active component. Ratio of mentioned above components, mass % are: saccharified peat residue having 3-7% sugar content 60-90, food peat sugar 6-27, mixed feed of coniferous-vitamin meal 4-13. Sugar content in said mixture is determined according to given formula C = (C₁·M₁+C₂·M₂+ ... +C_n·M_n)/ Σ M > 3,5% , where C₁ C₂ ... C_n is sugar content in saccharified residue, food peat sugar and in additives, %; M₁, M₂ ... M_n is weight of said components, kg. Thus prepared mixture is granulated, granules being dehydrated with the help of blowing heat carrier to humidity 10-15%. EFFECT: improves efficiency of the method. 7 cl, 2 tbl
