Abstract: Potassic fertilizer was synthesized from cotton boll ash retrieved after solar gasification at 1100 °C. The ash was leached through batch-wise multistage countercurrent leaching, while the parameters were optimized using Response Surface Methodology. A face-centered central… read more here.
