==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''industrial production of fertilisers''' is the set of processes used in [[industry]] to [[product|produce]] [[fertiliser]]s for use in [[agriculture]].

===About the Industrial Production of Fertilisers===
The '''industrial production of fertiliers''' requires several steps before the end [[product]]s can be sold.
#Mining raw [[material]]s from the ground or extracting them from the air.
#Transporting raw [[material]]s.
#[[Separating Mixtures|Separating]] [[material]]s to provide [[pure]] [[reactant]]s.
#[[Chemical Reaction|reacting]] [[compound]]s together to produce more useful ones.

: '''Industrial production of fertilisers''' differs from the small scale production of [[chemical]]s in the laboratory.
