Production Process

MDCP monodicalcium phosphate is a compound used as a feed supplement for farm animals. The production process of MDCP includes several steps such as acidification, filtration, drying, and granulation.

Acidification: This is the first step in the production of MDCP, where phosphate rock and sulfuric acid are mixed in a reactor. Phosphate rock reacts with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate.

Filtration: The mixture from the acidification process is then passed through a filtration process to separate the insoluble calcium sulfate from the phosphoric acid solution.

Drying: Dry the filtrate from the filtration process to obtain dry powder, containing about 22% phosphorus and 18% calcium.

Granulation: The final step in MDCP monodicalcium phosphate production is the granulation of the dry powder to produce smaller particles suitable for animal feed. The process involves adding a binder and then using granulation equipment to produce the desired particle size.

MDCP monodicalcium phosphate is a valuable source of phosphorus and calcium for farm animals and its production is strictly controlled to ensure its quality and efficacy.
