What does PRILL mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A small, roughly spherical pellet or granule of a substance, formed when droplets of a melted or dissolved material solidify.
Manufacturers make a prill by letting molten or concentrated liquid fall in droplets that cool and harden into small, free-flowing grains, a process used widely for fertilisers such as urea and ammonium nitrate as well as for some metals and chemicals. Handling material as prills rather than as powder or large lumps makes it easier to store, pour and spread evenly, since each prill is roughly the same size and shape. In assaying, a prill has a narrower, older sense, the small button of pure metal, often gold or silver, left behind after ore has been melted down and its impurities removed. The verb to prill describes the whole process of turning a liquid into these small pellets, whichever industry is doing the work.
How PRILL is used
A technical term from chemical manufacturing, agriculture and metallurgy; rare outside those industrial contexts.
- The plant cooled the molten fertiliser into small, even prills.
- Each prill of urea dissolved quickly once it reached damp soil.

- Workers packed the finished prills into sacks for shipping.
- The factory could prill several tonnes of ammonium nitrate an hour.
