Factory Supply Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate, also known as Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP) with CAS number 7778 - 77 - 0, is a high - quality chemical compound. It is a white crystalline powder that is odorless and soluble in water. The molecular formula of MKP is KH₂PO₄, and its molecular weight is approximately 136.09 g/mol. It has a density of about 2.338 g/cm³. The melting point of MKP is around 252.6°C. In terms of purity, our factory - supplied MKP usually has a purity of over 99%, which ensures its high - quality performance in various applications.
1. **Agriculture**: MKP is widely used as a high - efficiency phosphorus - potassium compound fertilizer. It can provide essential nutrients for plants, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages. It helps to improve the quality and yield of crops, enhance the plant's disease resistance and stress tolerance. For example, in fruit trees, it can increase the sugar content and improve the color and flavor of fruits.
2. **Food Industry**: It is used as a food additive. It can act as a pH regulator, emulsifier, and stabilizer. In the beverage industry, it can be used to adjust the acidity of drinks, ensuring a better taste and longer shelf - life. In the dairy industry, it can help to prevent the coagulation of milk products and maintain their stability.
3. **Pharmaceutical Industry**: MKP is used in the production of some drugs. It can be used as a buffer agent to maintain the stability of drug solutions and control the pH value during the drug manufacturing process.
**Agricultural Use**:
For foliar spraying, dissolve MKP in water at a concentration of 0.2% - 0.3%. Mix well and spray evenly on the foliage of plants. It is recommended to spray in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the strong sunlight. For soil application, mix MKP with other fertilizers according to the soil fertility and crop requirements. Usually, the application rate is about 10 - 20 kg per hectare.
**Food Industry Use**:
When used as a food additive, follow the relevant food safety standards and regulations. The amount of addition should be determined according to the specific food product. Generally, it is added during the production process and mixed thoroughly to ensure uniform distribution.
**Pharmaceutical Industry Use**:
In the pharmaceutical production, accurately weigh the required amount of MKP according to the formulation. Dissolve it in appropriate solvents and use it as a buffer solution under strict quality control conditions.
**Agricultural Case**:
In a tomato farm in California, farmers applied MKP foliar spray during the flowering and fruiting stages. The results showed that the tomato plants treated with MKP had stronger stems and more vigorous growth. The yield of tomatoes increased by about 20% compared to the control group. The tomatoes also had a better appearance and taste, with higher sugar content and less cracking.
**Food Industry Case**:
A large - scale beverage company used MKP as a pH regulator in its carbonated drinks. By adding an appropriate amount of MKP, the company was able to maintain the pH value of the drinks within a stable range, which improved the taste and extended the shelf - life of the products. The sales of the drinks increased significantly after the improvement.
**Pharmaceutical Industry Case**:
A pharmaceutical company used MKP as a buffer agent in the production of a certain injectable drug. By using MKP, the company was able to control the pH value of the drug solution accurately, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the drug. This helped to reduce the occurrence of side - effects and improved the quality of the drug.
