There are many types of dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and my country is a major producer and exporter.

Calcium hydrogen phosphate (DCP), also known as dicalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate, has a chemical formula of CaHPO4 and is an inorganic compound. Calcium hydrogen phosphate appears as a white crystalline powder with no special odor. It is soluble in acetic acid, dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute nitric acid, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in ethanol. Calcium hydrogen phosphate has a special crystal structure and is thermally stable, non-flammable, and low-toxic. It is widely used in feed, medicine, food, surfactants, thickeners and other fields.

There are many methods for preparing calcium hydrogen phosphate, including ion exchange method, neutralization method, extraction method and crystallization method. The ion exchange method refers to the use of ionic resins to adsorb raw materials to prepare calcium hydrogen phosphate. This method can prepare high-quality calcium hydrogen phosphate, but it has problems such as high production cost, high energy consumption, and easy environmental pollution; crystallization method Refers to the method of preparing calcium hydrogen phosphate by controlling temperature. This method has the advantages of low production cost, green and environmental protection, but the quality of the finished product is poor.

According to the “2023-2028 China Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 》 shows that my country is a major producer and exporter of calcium hydrogen phosphate, and its products are sold overseas while meeting the needs of the local market. However, in recent years, due to factors such as the deepening of the country’s supply-side structural reform and the continued spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, China’s small and medium-sized enterprises with backward production capacity have gradually been eliminated by the market. In addition, large enterprises have suspended operations and production, resulting in a decrease in calcium hydrogen phosphate production capacity and export scale. decline. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, my country’s calcium hydrogen phosphate exports will reach US$220 million in 2022, down 18.5% year-on-year.

There are many types of calcium hydrogen phosphate. According to different uses, it can be divided into pharmaceutical grade calcium hydrogen phosphate, feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate, food grade calcium hydrogen phosphate, etc. Medical grade calcium hydrogen phosphate can be used to treat osteoporosis, rickets, bone aplasia and other diseases; feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate is a highly efficient feed mineral additive that can improve the survival rate and breeding rate of livestock and poultry, accelerate their growth and development, and is hydrogen phosphate Mainstream products in the calcium market; food-grade calcium hydrogen phosphate can be used to produce infant milk powder, biscuits, bread, cans and other foods.

my country’s calcium hydrogen phosphate industry is highly concentrated, with leading companies occupying a dominant position in the market. The main manufacturers of calcium hydrogen phosphate in my country include Chengxing Phosphorus Chemical, Chuanfa Longmang, Yuntianhua, Dongbao Biology, Chuanheng Co., Ltd., Xinhaoyuan, Chuanjinnuo, etc. The above companies account for nearly 70% of the Chinese market.

Industry analysts said that calcium hydrogen phosphate has excellent performance and is widely used in many fields. Benefiting from the increasingly strong downstream demand, my country’s hydrogen phosphate The development speed of the calcium industry continues to accelerate. Feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate is the representative product of calcium hydrogen phosphate. Its industry prosperity has increased, bringing a broad market space for calcium hydrogen phosphate. It is expected that companies with high-quality calcium hydrogen phosphate production capabilities will occupy a larger space in my country’s market in the future.
