  • Method for preparing monocalcium phosphate compositions with reduced caking tendencies
    Patent number: 3954939
    Abstract: A method for preparing a hydrated monocalcium phosphate, with reduced caking tendencies and quick carbon dioxide release, from a monocalcium phosphate composition having a loss on ignition between about 14 and less than 17% by admixing water with the monocalcium phosphate and permitting the water and monocalcium phosphate to remain in contact for a sufficient length of time to form a hydrated monocalcium phosphate composition having a loss on ignition between 17 and 21.5%. The product is dried to a free moisture content of less than about 1% if the free moisture content is above this level.
