Potash, pronounced pot-ash, is the term commonly used to describe potassium-containing salts used as fertilizer. Most potash is derived from potassium chloride (KCl), which is also known as Muriate of Potash (MOP). As a source of soluble potassium, potash is vital to the agricultural industry as a primary plant nutrient.Web

There are two primary methods by which potash can be processed: tumble-growth agglomeration on a disc pelletizer, or through compaction granulation in a compactor, the choice between which is dictated by desired end product characteristics, process requirements, and cost.Web
