Abstract
Abstract Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate compositions having improved monofluorophosphate compatibility are prepared by reacting a lime slurry with phosphoric acid to form a monocalcium phosphate solution, and then further reacting the monocalcium phosphate solution with additional lime slurry to a pH in the range of from above about 2.2 to below about 5.5.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A process for preparing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate having improved monofluorophosphate compatibility which consists essentially of the steps of: (a) reacting a slaked lime slurry with phosphoric acid to form a monocalcium phosphate solution; (b) further reacting said monocalcium phosphate solution with additional slaked lime slurry to form a dicalcium phosphate dihydrate slurry having a final pH ranging from above about 2.2 to below about 5.5; (c) separating the dicalcium phosphate dihydrate from said slurry.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A process for preparing dicalcium phosphate dihydrate having improved monofluorophosphate compatibility which consists essentially of the steps of: (a) reacting a slaked lime slurry with phosphoric acid to form a monocalcium phosphate solution; (b) further reacting said monocalcium phosphate solution with additional slaked lime slurry to form a dicalcium phosphate dihydrate slurry having a final pH ranging from above about 2.2 to below about 5.5; (c) separating the dicalcium phosphate dihydrate from said slurry.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein an acid other than pyrophosphoric acid is added during or after step (b).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said acid is an acid selected from the group consisting of orthophosphoric acid, polymeta phosphoric acid, tri and tetrameta phosphoric acids, sulfuric acid, triphosphoric and tetraphosphoric acids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said pH ranges from above about 3.0 to about 3.5.
