A 30% solution of caustic potash or potassium carbonate is sent to a neutralizer and neutralized with 50% phosphoric acid solution under stirring at a temperature of 80-100 °c and a pH of 4-5, the neutralized product is obtained by filtration, concentration, cooling crystallization, centrifugal separation and drying, and the crystallization mother liquor is returned to the concentration section for reuse.
The process flow of producing potassium dihydrogen phosphate by neutralization method's chemical reaction formula is:
H3PO4 +KOH = KH2PO4 + H2O
2H3PO4 +K2CO3=2KH2PO4 + H2O + CO2↑

At present, the national production capacity of neutralized potassium dihydrogen phosphate accounts for more than 90% of the total production capacity.

-extraction method:

The organic extraction method is a method for preparing potassium dihydrogen phosphate by selectively using an organic solvent for extraction and separation according to the characteristic that the organic solvent has different solubilities for different compounds.
It is in the presence of a suitable organic solvent (S), through the reaction of potassium chloride and phosphoric acid, the generated hydrochloric acid is almost extracted into the organic solvent, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is crystallized from the aqueous phase, washed and dried to obtain the product potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and the mother liquor is recycled after separation.
Hydrochloric acid is back-extracted from the organic phase by the stripping agent, and the extracting agent is recycled in the process.

Thanks to low EC value (0,7 mS/cm) risks for burns in leaves are too low and therefore it may even be used in high concentrations.
Monopotassium phosphate may be mixed with any soluble fertilizer; yet should not be used together with fertilizers containing calcium (Ca).



STRUCTURE of MONOPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE:
Monopotassium phosphate can exist in several polymorphs.
At room temperature Monopotassium phosphate forms paraelectric crystals with tetragonal symmetry.
Upon cooling to −150 °C (−238 °F) it transforms to a ferroelectric phase of orthorhombic symmetry, and the transition temperature shifts up to −50 °C (−58 °F) when hydrogen is replaced by deuterium.
Heating to 190 °C (374 °F) changes Monopotassium phosphate's structure to monoclinic.
When heated further, Monopotassium phosphate decomposes, by loss of water, to potassium metaphosphate, KPO3, at 400 °C (752 °F).

There is a huge possibility of the existence of Monopotassium Phosphate in several polymorphs.
Paraelectric crystals with tetragonal symmetry are formed by the compound at room temperature.
If cooling is done up to -150 degree C (-238 degree F) Monopotassium phosphate converts to a ferroelectric phase of orthorhombic symmetry.
If hydrogen is replaced by deuterium then the transition temperature shifts up to -50 degree C (-58 degree F).
The structure of the Monopotassium Phosphate is changed to monoclinic if the substance is heated up to 190 degree Celcius (374 degree F).
If the heat is increased further then Monopotassium Phosphate decomposes because of the loss of water and turns into potassium metaphosphate (KPO3) at 400 degree Celcius (752 degree F).

PHARMACODYNAMICS of MONOPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE:
Potassium is the major cation of intracellular fluid and is essential for maintenance of acid-base balance, isotonicity, and electrodynamic characteristics of the cell.
Potassium is an important activator in many enzymatic reactions and is essential to a number of physiologic processes including transmission of nerve impulses; contraction of cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles; gastric secretion; renal function; tissue synthesis; and carbohydrate metabolism.
Phosphate is a major intracellular anion that participates in providing energy for metabolism of substrates and contributes to important metabolic and enzymatic reactions in almost all organs and tissues.
