Phosphate Fertilizer DAP Diammonium Phosphate H9n2o4p CAS 7783-28-0

Diammonium Phosphate Fertilizer, Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) and Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizers, derived from naturally occurring phosphate ore, are the most widely used products for delivery of the essential plant nutrient phosphorous (P) to the soil. DAP and MAP also contain nitrogen (N), another essential plant nutrient. Millions of tons of these phosphate fertilizer products are used worldwide to grow the quantity of food needed to support an increasing global population.

Effective and efficient manufacturing, storage, delivery and application of these products is strategically vital to our global food supply security, but this presents a number of challenges-particularly economic and EH&S related ones. P is a finite resource on our planet and so proper stewardship of available phosphate rock deposits requires exceptional operational efficiencies in the typically large-scale manufacturing processes used to produce phosphate fertilizers. Efforts to minimize degradation during downstream handling of these products is also important for safety, environmental and economic reasons.
