Diammonium Phosphate

Brief Overview 

Diammonium phosphate is a water-soluble ammonium salt that is one of the most widely used phosphorus fertilizers because of its relatively high nutrient content.

Manufacturing Process

Diammonium phosphate is manufactured by reacting phosphoric acid with ammonia in a controlled reaction, where the hot slurry is then cooled, granulated, and sieved. It contains two ammonia molecules, and one of them will revert to ammonia in the alkaline condition, making it an excellent fit for low PH soil.

Food Industry

Diammonium phosphate is used as a leavening food agent, dough regulator, yeast food, brewing fermentation additives, and buffer.

Agricultural Industry

Diammonium phosphate is used as fertilizers for crops such as fruits, rice, vegetables, etc., and as feed additives.

Other Applications

Diammonium phosphate is used as an analytical reagent and buffer. It is also used for printing plates, medicine, fire prevention, and electronic tubes.
