Process Description
Monoammonium phosphate has the chemical formula NH4H2PO4 and CAS number 7722-76-1. It typically occurs as white or colorless transparent crystals and is also available as a granular industrial product. It is odorless and has a slightly acidic taste. It is readily soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Its aqueous solution is weakly acidic, and the substance is stable at room temperature. It melts at approximately 197°C with concurrent decomposition; further heating releases ammonia and water and forms condensed phosphates such as pyrophosphates and metaphosphates. Monoammonium phosphate is widely used as a concentrated fertilizer, particularly for phosphorus-demanding crops and phosphorus-deficient soils. It is also used in flame retardants, pharmaceutical intermediates, fermentation agents, food additives, lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and other chemical power sources.

Technology comment
The ammonia neutralization method is used to produce monoammonium phosphate, which currently accounts for more than 85% of the battery-grade monoammonium phosphate market. That is, the dilute phosphoric acid produced by the wet method is directly used as raw material, and ammoniation is carried out in a neutralization tank or a rapid ammoniation evaporator. The neutralized slurry is then evaporated and concentrated to obtain the finished monoammonium phosphate. The main chemical reaction involved is: H3PO4 + NH3 → NH4H2PO4.
