Remaining solids in an MKP preparation are an observation. Determine whether the test reached its defined preparation conditions before classifying the material as insoluble residue or a failed shipment.
Request the actual method with the limit
The Haifa MKP page describes water-solubility as a product property. That description is not a replacement for the offered grade’s defined residue test. Request concentration, water quality, temperature, time, mixing and separation procedure where applicable.
Use a clean-water blank and record the actual sample and lot. Follow the agreed method and site controls rather than increasing temperature or mixing indefinitely until the appearance improves. If preparation differs from the specification method, report that difference.
| Finding | Next question |
|---|---|
| Solids remain before the defined preparation ends | Has the method’s endpoint been reached? |
| Residue remains after the agreed method | Does it exceed the applicable residue criterion? |
| Blank or equipment also contributes material | Can the result be assigned to the fertilizer sample? |
Do not infer the chemical identity of residue from sight
If cause matters, use an appropriate analysis. A photograph or filter mass does not identify every constituent. Equally, a visually clear solution does not establish the complete nutrient analysis or compatibility of a later fertilizer mixture.
Send ENVO the current residue method, recorded conditions, required analysis and intended route. Preserve the initial results when investigating a discrepancy. This article concerns the grade’s preparation and residue evidence; a complete stock’s compatibility with other nutrients is a separate evaluation.
