ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process is provided for pelletizing a mixture of elemental sulphur and bentonite clay to produce a water degradable prill. The pro- cess includes adding dry clay dust to molten sulphur at an elevated tem- perature to provide a molten sulphur-clay mixture. Droplets of the mix- ture are then formed. A nitrogen-containing liquid fertilizer coolant solution which will not cause undue degradation of the droplets of the mixture at a temperature lower than the freezing temperature of the sul- phur-bentonite mixture is then provided. The droplets are fed into that coolant, and are passed through the coolant for a time sufficient to anneal the droplets into pellets. The annealed pellets are then removed from the coolant. Thus, a process is provided in which the sulphur-bentonite mix- ture is pelletized in the water, rather than being degraded. The product includes a water-degradable elemental sulphur product, which is essentially dust-free and has good degradation characteristics when exposed to moisture in the soil.
