Frequently asked questions
Both are important ammonium phosphate fertilizers; the main difference lies in:
- Various chemical formulasMAP is NH₄H₂PO₄ (monoammonium phosphate), DAP is (NH₄)₂HPO₄ (diammonium phosphate)
- Various nitrogen contentsMAP contains N≥12%, DAP contains N≥21%, nitrogen content in DAP is higher
- Various phosphorus contentsP₂O₅ content in MAP ≥61%, in DAP ≥53%; phosphorus content is higher in MAP.
- Various pH valuesAqueous MAP solution is more acidic (pH about 4.0-5.0), DAP is slightly alkaline.
Products of the two technologies have their own characteristics:
- Main ContentThermal MAP ≥99%, wet MAP ≥98%, thermal method has higher purity.
- Phosphorus ContentThermal P₂O₅≥61%, Wet P₂O₅≥60.5%.
- Water-insoluble substancesThermal method ≤0.1%, wet method ≤0.3%, thermal method is purer.
- Recommended ChoiceFor general agricultural use, the wet process is recommended as it is cost-effective; for applications requiring high purity, the thermal process is suitable.
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate has significant advantages as a flame retardant:
- High-efficiency fire protectionWhen heated, it decomposes releasing ammonia and phosphoric acid, forming a protective layer that isolates oxygen.
- Broad ApplicabilityCan be used for flame retardant treatment of wood, paper, textiles, and other materials.
- Special applicationUsed as a damping agent for match heads and candle wicks to prevent re-ignition.
- Powdered fire extinguishing agentis an important component of powder fire extinguishers
The main difference lies in impurity content standards and application areas:
- Impurity content limitFood grade imposes stricter requirements on impurities such as arsenic, lead, heavy metals.
- Moisture RequirementsFood-grade moisture ≤0.2%, stricter than industrial-grade (≤0.5%).
- Execution StandardFood grade conforms to GB 25569-2010, industrial grade conforms to HG/T4133-2010.
- Area of applicationFood grade is used in food processing, fermentation industry, etc.; industrial grade is used in agriculture, as a flame retardant, in feed, etc.
