Monopotassium phosphate, MKP, (also potassium dihydrogenphosphate, KDP, or monobasic potassium phosphate), KH2PO4, is a soluble
salt of potassium and the dihydrogen phosphate ion which is used as a fertilizer, a food additive and a fungicide. It is a source of phosphorus and potassium. It is also a buffering agent.
Monopotassium phosphate is produced by the reaction of hot phophoric acid and potassium hydroide or extraction of posphoric acid and
potassium hydrxide is the major method of industrial production. The former has high purity and the process is simple. The latter utilizes wet
extraction of phoshoric acid with low cost.
1.Industrial grade Monopotassium Phosphate use as a buffer, culture agent; It is also used as a bacterial culture agent to
synthesize theflavoring agent, the raw material of potassium phosphate, the culture agent, the fortifier, the leavening agent and the
fermentation agent.
2.In Pharmaceutical Field, monopotassium phosphate is normally used in the production of penicillin.
3.In Industry Field, phospate - based industrial materials on water treatment, detergent, flame retardant.
4.In Food Industry, MKP could be used in baking products, monosodium glutamate.
5.In agriculture, it is used as high efficient phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate
products are widely used in all kinds of cash crops, grain, melon and fruit. Vegetables and almost all kinds of crops.
