Dicalcium Phosphate is an inorganic chemical compound that is used across various industries. It is considered a good source of calcium and phosphorus. Thus, it mainly finds its application as a dietary supplement in breakfast cereals to enhance the nutritional content of the food. It is also used in dog treats and other such animal feeds to promote animal health. Because of its phosphorus content it also finds its application in production fertilizers. It is also used as a binder and filler in medicines in the form of tablets and capsules. It is also used in the preparation of various dental products, such as toothpaste, to assist healthy gums and teeth.

The market for Dicalcium Phosphate is primarily directed by its application that encloses different industrial fields, such as food & nutrition, health & wellness, animal feed, and agrochemical industries. It is high in calcium and phosphorus content, due to which it has various applications in the health & nutrition industry. Its usage in production animal feeds and fertilizers also drives its demand in the agrochemical and animal feed industries. Its usage in the production of tablets and capsules as a binder that can help strengthen tooth enamel further promotes its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, the availability of raw materials (calcium hydroxide, etc.), their cost, their applications in the nutrition industry, supplier relationships, sustainability practices, and distribution are several factors that significantly influence industrial Dicalcium Phosphate procurement globally.

Raw Material for Dicalcium Phosphate Production

According to the Dicalcium Phosphate production plant project report, the major raw materials for Dicalcium Phosphate production include Calcium Hydroxide-Phosphoric Acid.

Production Process of Dicalcium Phosphate

The extensive Dicalcium Phosphate production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production from Potassium Chloride: This method of production involves the use of calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid as the raw material for the synthesis of dicalcium phosphate as the product. In this method, two acidities of phosphoric acid with calcium hydroxide undergo a neutralization reaction under controlled conditions of temperature and pH, which results lead to the formation of dicalcium phosphate as the final product.

Dicalcium Phosphate is an inorganic chemical compound with molecular formula CaHPO4(anhydrous) or CaHPO4·2H2O (dihydrate). The dihydrate form of DCP possesses excellent flow properties and has a low hygroscopicity. In the absence of water in its solid crystalline form, the compound can hold higher porosity, which leads to better compressibility. An increase in the porosity levels also leads to faster disintegration. It is more thermodynamically stable at a neutral or slightly alkaline pH. It exists in the form of an odorless white crystalline powder with a molar of 136.06 g/mol (anhydrous form) and 172.09 g/mol (dihydrate). The density of the compound ranges between 2.92-2.31 g/cm3, and its melting point is 1670°C.
