Brief Overview
Monocalcium phosphate, or acid calcium phosphate, is an inorganic substance often present as a monohydrate. This compound, colorless and available as granules or powder, serves as a leavening agent within the food industry.
Manufacturing Process
When calcium carbonate reacts with wet processed defluorinated phosphoric acid, it generates monocalcium phosphate. The production of high-purity monocalcium phosphate involves treating calcium phosphate with concentrated phosphoric acid.
Animal Feed Industry
Monocalcium Phosphate finds utility in fertilizers and serves as a food supplement for livestock and poultry. Its purpose lies in replenishing phosphorus and calcium in the diets of deficient cattle, aiding in their metabolism, and supporting the immune and reproductive systems of livestock and poultry.
