Description
Di-calcium Phosphate also known as Dibasic Calcium Phosphate is a calcium phosphate which is di-hydrate and it is converted into Anhydrous from thermally. Di-calcium phosphate is formed when a solution of phosphoric acid is reacted with Calcium Chloride until the desired PH is obtained. This phosphate is insoluble in water.
