Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and mixtures thereof with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate)

HS v2017 Code: 310540

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and mixtures thereof with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate)

HS code 310540 covers a specific type of fertilizer known as ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and its mixtures with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate). These fertilizers are essential for maintaining soil fertility and supporting agricultural productivity, playing a crucial role in the global food supply chain.

Production process

The production of HS 310540 fertilizers typically involves the reaction of phosphoric acid with ammonia. This process results in the formation of monoammonium phosphate, which can then be mixed with diammonium phosphate to create the desired blend. The final product is often granulated or prilled to improve handling and application characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 310540 fertilizers include phosphoric acid, ammonia, and various other raw materials such as sulfuric acid, limestone, and water. Additionally, specialized equipment like reactors, granulators, and dryers are necessary for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 310540 is the ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and its mixtures with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate). These fertilizers are widely used in agriculture, as they provide a balanced source of nitrogen and phosphorus, essential nutrients for plant growth. The outputs of HS 310540 may be consumed by other agricultural industries, such as 310520 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; phosphatic, 310530 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, and 310560 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; containing the two fertilizing elements: nitrogen and phosphorus.

Revisions to 310540
