Abstract: For the preparation of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate stabilized with dimagnesium phosphate trihydrate and sodium pyrophosphate, an aqueous suspension of calcium carbonate is introduced into a reactor and recirculated by pumping through a high-speed mixer at 3,500 to 8,000 rpm which is in flow connection with the lower and upper portion of the reactor. Into the mixer an amount of phosphoric acid is introduced which is at least sufficient for the quantitative formation of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate and then an oxygen-containing magnesium compound is introduced into the reactor. Finally, lime milk is metered into the reactor up to a maximum pH of 6.9, before the sodium pyrophosphate is added to the reactor. The resulting suspension which has a stabilized dicalcium phosphate dihydrate content of 20 to 33% by weight is spray-dried.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for making calciummonohydrogen phosphate dihydrate with a high degree of whiteness from pure phosphoric acid and naturally occurring calcium carbonates. More particularly, a fine-particulate calcium carbonate is suspended in water and the suspension is mixed at temperatures between 0.degree. and 60.degree. C. with phosphoric acid so as to establish a Ca/P-ratio of 0.20 up to 0.57. The phosphoric acid is added in quantities per unit time preventing the resulting mixture from foaming over. Next, solid matter constituents are separated from the mixture, after CO.sub.2 has ceased to evolve, with the resultant formation of a clear colorless acid solution. This solution and an aqueous suspension or solution of pure alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal carbonates and/or hydroxides, are jointly introduced into a reaction zone at a reaction temperature of 20.degree. to 45.degree. C. so as to establish a pH-value initially of 2.0 to 5.
