The invention relates to a process of coating inorganic particles with organic compositions, and agglomerating, compacting and heating of the coated particles into granules. Coating and compacting the agglomeration may be conducted continuously, and may be used to form granules having sizes ranging from about 1 to about 200 mesh.
