Production Method
Monocalcium Phosphate is produced through the controlled reaction of phosphoric acid and calcium carbonate (limestone) or calcium hydroxide. The production process generally follows these steps:
-
Raw Material Preparation – High-purity phosphoric acid and calcium carbonate are selected.
-
Reaction – The reaction occurs under controlled conditions:<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block">
CaCO₃ + 2 H₃PO₄ → Ca(H₂PO₄)₂ + CO₂ \text{CaCO₃} + 2\text{H₃PO₄} → \text{Ca(H₂PO₄)₂} + \text{CO₂} -
Filtration & Purification – Impurities are removed through filtration.
-
Drying & Crystallization
-
For MCP Monohydrate, controlled drying ensures water retention.
-
For MCP Anhydrous, high-temperature drying removes water molecules.
-
Milling & Packaging – The final product is ground into fine powder or granules and packaged for various applications.
