FAQs
Both are important ammonium phosphate fertilizers, with the main difference being:
- Different Chemical FormulasMAP is NH₄H₂PO₄ (Monoammonium Phosphate), DAP is (NH₄)₂HPO₄ (Diammonium Phosphate)
- Varying Nitrogen ContentMAP contains N≥12%, DAP contains N≥21%, DAP has higher nitrogen content.
- Different Phosphorus ContentMAP has P₂O₅≥61%, DAP has P₂O₅≥53%, MAP has higher phosphorus content.
- Different pH ValuesMAP aqueous solution is more acidic (pH approx. 4.0-5.0), DAP is weakly alkaline.
Products from the two processes each have their own characteristics:
- Main ContentThermal MAP≥99%, Wet-process MAP≥98%, higher purity for thermal method
- Phosphorus ContentThermal P₂O₅≥61%, Wet-process P₂O₅≥60.5%
- Water Insoluble MatterThermal method≤0.1%, Wet-process≤0.3%, thermal method is purer
- Recommended ChoiceFor general agricultural use, the wet process is recommended for its cost-effectiveness; for applications requiring high purity, the thermal process is preferred.
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate offers significant advantages as a flame retardant:
- Efficient Flame RetardantDecomposes upon heating to produce ammonia and phosphoric acid, forming a protective layer that isolates oxygen
- Wide ApplicabilityCan be used for fireproofing treatment of various materials such as wood, paper, and fabrics
- Special ApplicationsCan be used as a matchstick and candle wick extinguishing agent to prevent re-ignition
- Dry Powder Fire Extinguishing Agentis an important component of dry powder fire extinguishing agents
The main difference lies in impurity content standards and application fields:
- Impurity LimitsFood-grade has stricter requirements for impurities such as arsenic, lead, and heavy metals
- Moisture RequirementFood-grade moisture≤0.2%, stricter than industrial-grade (≤0.5%)
- Implementation StandardFood grade complies with GB 25569-2010, industrial grade complies with HG/T4133-2010.
- Application FieldsFood grade for food processing, fermentation industry, etc.; industrial grade for agriculture, fire retardants, feed, etc.
