PRILLINGS....(Solid Rocket Propellant)
The History of Prilling
Prilling has it foundations in the spray cooling of Ammonium Nitrate with its first commercial application described in a German patent in 1918. The first uses were actually not for the fertilizer version but rather product forms useful in formulation of explosives. For that purpose 2-fluid- and pressure-nozzles were applied as atomizers, taking the Particle Size Distribution (PSD hereafter) to as coarse as "95% between 400 and 2000 microns" equal to an average particle size (d50 hereafter) of 1200 microns or 1.2 mm.
The term "prills" did not originate until 1946 with mass production of the first true fertilizer-type products, where particles in the range of 1-4 mm were needed for direct dosing onto fields. For other purposes the prilling of molten nitrate was done with slowly rotating discs or "Buckets" (with holes), - or by means of relatively simple "showerheads" at the top of tall "prilling towers" which needed to be between 30-70 meters high. This assured cooling and prill-formation. The cooling, which led to solidification, was accomplished by a counter-current air stream (coacervation) with prills falling into a perpendicular 'drop column' inside the prilling towers. This was a very expensive and dangerous process. Special metal powders, sodium hydroxide, stearic acid, fats and certain wax powders were also used for various applications and produced in this way. One advantage was that the wax was able to carry a 50/50 payload of proteolytic enzymes for detergent use - and thus, this method of micro-encapsulation was appropriately termed, "prilling". The PSD, however, was only as "fine" as only the 200-500 micron (0.2-0.5 mm) range. Thus, RMANNCO, Inc. has continued to develop new high-temperature wax formulations and process for use across multiple industrial applications and for numerous product areas.
As shown in the prior art, prilling is closely associated with cooling, chilling and congealing. Today, we term this area of science 'Phase-Change Materials', or, "PCM's". In the past, "Big", prilled drops were solidified by pure solidification of the melts in ambient atmospheres. Drying of big particles was a much slower and more complicated process, and even small prills required long processing times and more costly, bulky and cumbersome equipment - or would have to be made using agglomeration techniques. With prior prilling processes "Congealing" was the normally selected process for the making of prills. According to Websters Dictionary congealing is "the transition from a soft or fluid state to a rigid or solid as by cooling or freezing". Again, today these phenomenae are termed, "PCM's".
Definitions and applicable Prill-Atomization methods
For fertilizers and in-organic products prilling can be limited to the creation of products consisting of spherical particles with d50 in the 1000 -
4000 micron (1 - 4 mm) range by congealing of coarse droplets from melts only. For food and pharma products prilling can be confined to "smaller" sizes with d50 in the 200 - 1500 micron (0.2 - 1.5 mm) range, - the sizes up to maybe even 1mm average being obtainable by drying also - at least in combinations with fluid bed drying and special drying aids. The creation of a spray of droplets is traditionally called "atomization", but in connection with prilIing, this term is a misnomer.
