Fertilizer Inorganic Composition Testing
Inorganic compounds in fertilizers play a crucial role in plant nutrition and growth. The composition of these compounds directly influences soil quality, crop yield, and overall agricultural productivity. Understanding the exact concentrations of key elements such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), and chlorine (Cl) is essential for optimizing fertilizer formulations.
Our laboratory specializes in comprehensive testing of the inorganic composition of fertilizers. This service ensures that producers, quality managers, compliance officers, and R&D engineers can make informed decisions based on accurate and reliable data. The testing process involves several stages:
- Sample Preparation: Samples are collected from various batches to ensure a representative sample.
- Chemical Digestion: Samples undergo digestion using strong acids like nitric acid and perchloric acid in an oven at high temperatures.
- Spectroscopic Analysis: The digested samples are analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace elements, and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) for macroelements like N, P, K, Ca, Mg.
- Quantitative Determination: Results are quantified according to internationally recognized standards such as ISO 17025 and ASTM D3948-96. These standards ensure that our testing methods are accurate and reproducible.
The results of this testing are critical for ensuring compliance with local and international regulations, optimizing fertilizer formulations for maximum crop yield, and minimizing environmental impact. By understanding the exact composition of inorganic compounds, farmers can apply fertilizers more precisely, reducing waste and enhancing sustainability.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment to provide precise and reliable results. Our team of experienced analysts ensures that every test is conducted with utmost care and attention to detail. The accuracy of our testing is further enhanced by regular calibration of instruments and adherence to strict quality control protocols.
