Our Mono Ammonium Phosphates are derived from reaction of high-quality phosphoric acid with ammonia that helps produce hot MAP slurry. Besides, for grade control, a small amount of sulphuric acid is added that turns the slurry into solid granules in the granulator. These are sized for uniform blending and reduces handling requirements.
Preparation:
Phosphate ore is mined in an open pit
Processed into a fine powdered rock
The rock is reacted with water and sulphuric acid to produce a slurry of phosphoric acid and gypsum solids
The gypsum is filtered from the slurry
The phosphoric acid is increasingly concentrated for various grades and uses
phosphoric acid is reacted with ammonia to produce a hot MAP slurry
A small amount of sulphuric acid is added for grade control
The slurry is turned into solid granules in the granulator
The granular product is dried and screened
Product that is too large or too small is recycled to the granulator
