What are the prospects for potassium dihydrogen phosphate MKP?
Thread Content
The company I work for produces MKP using industrial-grade hot phosphoric acid. I know that in many places, it is produced using wet phosphoric acid, and our energy consumption is high. I would like to ask what the prospects are for MKP, based on the current situation
For wastewater saturated with potassium sulfate at room temperature, apart from evaporating the potassium sulfate, are there any other ways to utilize it in order to add value to it? Since it is wastewater, it may contain many other impurities, so the purity level achieved might not meet the required standards. Evaporating potassium sulfate requires a significant amount of energy, so this approach is not desirable. Are there any other better ways to use this wastewater as fertilizer (preferably by adding inorganic substances that are needed for certain reactions and that can be removed through washing)?~~
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is used as a high-efficiency phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer, suitable for various soils and crops. It is also used as a bacterial culture medium, to synthesize clean flavorings, as a raw material for potassium metaphosphate, and as a culture medium, enhancer, leavening agent, and fermentation aid for brewing yeast. In medicine, it is used to uricify and as a nutrient. Food-grade products are used in the food industry to manufacture baked goods, monosodium glutamate, and baking powder.
