Historical Development
In ancient times, poultry and livestock were mainly fed with rice bran and wild vegetables, and poultry and livestock grew slowly. Later, it was known that phosphorus can strengthen bones, so craftsmen developed materials containing phosphorus. Monocalcium Phosphate MCP is one of them. The initial preparation method was a traditional method, and the quality obtained was poor. After technological innovation, it can now be refined and widely used in feed.
Product Overview
Monocalcium Phosphate MCP is a white crystalline powder or granular, slightly sour, easily soluble in water, containing phosphorus and calcium, and easy to absorb moisture. It can be used as a feed additive to help the growth of bones of poultry and livestock. It is also used in the fields of food and medicine.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Monocalcium Phosphate MCP has a high density and dissolves quickly in water. The aqueous solution is acidic. It decomposes when heated to 150 degrees, releasing water vapor and phosphoric acid, which is slightly corrosive to metals.
Technical Specifications & Labeling
The formula of Monocalcium Phosphate MCP contains phosphorus content (not less than 22%), calcium content (not less than 15%), moisture (not more than 5%), etc. The label must be written with the full name Monocalcium Phosphate MCP, with various indicators, manufacturers, usage instructions and moisture-proof warnings.
Preparation Method
To prepare Monocalcium Phosphate MCP, phosphoric acid and calcium carbonate are usually used as raw materials. They are put into the reaction tank in proportion and stirred to make full reaction. After filtering, evaporation, crystallization and drying, Monocalcium Phosphate MCP is obtained. The pH value needs to be controlled during the process to prevent the formation of impurities.
Chemical Reactions & Modifications
Monocalcium Phosphate MCP reacts with alkaline substances to form calcium phosphate precipitate and corresponding salts. It decomposes into calcium pyrophosphate and water when heated. If it is co-soluble with sulfate, it can form calcium sulfate precipitate.
Synonyms & Product Names
Monocalcium Phosphate MCP is also known as "monocalcium phosphate", but in professional documents and transactions, the full name Monocalcium Phosphate MCP must be used to indicate accuracy.
Safety & Operational Standards
When handling Monocalcium Phosphate MCP, you need to wear rubber gloves to avoid it from getting into your eyes. If it accidentally gets on your skin, rinse it with clean water; when adding it to feed, you need to mix it in proportion and not overdose to avoid discomfort to poultry and livestock.
Application Area
Monocalcium Phosphate MCP is mostly used in livestock and poultry feed to supplement phosphorus and calcium and promote their growth and development; in the food industry, it can be used as a bulking agent and nutritional enhancer; in medicine, it can be used to prepare calcium supplements.
Research & Development
Scholars are exploring new uses for Monocalcium Phosphate MCP, such as its use in biofertilizers, while improving production processes, increasing purity, and reducing energy consumption and pollution.
Toxicity Research
Monocalcium Phosphate MCP has low toxicity, but excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so it needs to be properly stored and used according to regulations to prevent children, poultry and livestock from accidentally ingesting it.
Future Prospects
As the breeding and food industries continue to prosper in the future, the demand for Monocalcium Phosphate MCP will increase, and its preparation method will become more environmentally friendly and efficient, and may be expanded to more fields and play a greater role.

How is Monocalcium Phosphate MCPonocalcium Phosphate MCP made?
This product is made with phosphoric acid and calcium carbonate as raw materials. Put phosphoric acid in a stone reaction tank, take calcium carbonate powder with a wooden spoon, slowly add it according to the proportion, and stir it with a bamboo paddle while adding. At first, the solution will bubble and release carbon dioxide. When the foam gradually decreases and the pH value is about 2.5, stop stirring. Continue stirring for one hour to make the reaction thoroughly, move it into a copper plate to evaporate until a crust forms on the surface, scrape it into a ceramic mold to cool, and break it into blocks. Dry it in the sun to get Monocalcium Phosphate MCP. The method is similar to making sauce. If there are too many ingredients, there will be too much alkali, and if there are too few, there will be too much acid. Only those with the middle are pure products, and the powder is white and free of impurities.
What is the appearance of Monocalcium Phosphate MCP?
It mostly appears as white powder, or fine crystals, light and light, and astringent and slippery when twisted. It is dull at first, but there are fine bright spots when you look closely. It is soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is acidic with a pH value of about 2.8, which is compatible with metal oxides. It is moderately hygroscopic. It will not clump if placed in a dry place for more than a month, but will deliquesce if stored in a wet place for a long time. It will neutralize and release heat when it meets a strong alkali, so it cannot be stored with lime. It is easy to decompose at high temperatures, so it needs to be stored away from fire sources. Its powder dissolves quickly after being soaked in water without precipitation. Its aqueous solution can corrode ironware, so it needs to be stored in ceramic containers.
Where can Monocalcium Phosphate MCP be applied?
In agriculture, it is the best phosphate fertilizer. When applied to acidic soil, it can promote the development of crop roots and plump grains; when applied to vegetables, it can make leaves thicker and double the yield. In the feed industry, it is an essential additive to supplement the phosphorus and calcium of livestock and poultry and promote bone development. It is especially suitable for young livestock and poultry. In the food industry, it can be added to baked goods as a leavening agent to make the taste crispy; adding it to dough can accelerate fermentation. Its use is like spring rain, which moistens everything and helps it grow, so it is valued by agriculture, animal husbandry, and food.
What are the taboos when Monocalcium Phosphate MCP is mixed with other fertilizers?
This product can be mixed with potassium fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer to enhance the effect and complement each other, but it cannot be stored with wood ash, otherwise it will reduce the phosphorus effect. When mixed with urea, it must be prepared and used immediately, otherwise it will absorb moisture and clump if left for a long time. When mixed with gypsum in alkaline soil, it can enhance the effect of phosphorus fertilizer, but the ratio must be controlled at four to one, otherwise it will damage the soil fertility. If mixed with farmyard manure, it must be applied in layers to avoid direct contact to prevent nutrient loss. Although its nature is strong, it can show miraculous effects if mixed properly, so it is necessary to carefully examine its nature before use.
What are the requirements for the storage and transportation of Monocalcium Phosphate MCP?
It should be packaged in thick plastic bags, 50 kilograms per bag, the bag mouth is tied tightly, and covered with a woven bag. Store in a dry warehouse with wooden boards on the floor and oil paper on the boards to keep the materials one foot above the ground. The stack height should not exceed six layers to prevent the bottom layer from being pressed and agglomerated. Lime jars should be placed in the warehouse to absorb moisture. Ventilate three times a week during the rainy season. Transport on sunny days, cover the carriage with tarpaulins, and stop to avoid rain. If it gets damp and agglomerated, it can be ground into fine powder by a stone mill. The fertilizer effect will not be reduced, but it is necessary to prevent impurities from mixing in. It is easy to corrode iron, so plastic tools should be used when transporting.
