SSP= Single Super Phosphate is a type of Fertilizer used for agriculture. Molecular formula:Ca(H20P4)2.H2O 4,
Phosphates are very common fertilizers.
Yes, phosphates are used as fertilizers.
limestone
Yes, it is a nonrenewable resource.
spl is mixture ofcalcium hydroge phosphate and gypsum
Triple super phosphate is generally more effective, as it has higher phosphorous (P) levels. However if you need to raise the level of sulphur (S) in your soil you may be better off with normal super, as it has higher S levels. Also, keep in mind that triple super is usually more expensive.
Super phosphate is calcium dihydrogen phosphate. It can be prepared by reacting sulfuric acid with calcium phosphate :Calcium phosphate + Sulfuric acid ----> Calcium sulfate + Calcium dihydrogen phosphate3 Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 H2SO4 ----> 6 CaSO4 + 3 Ca(H2PO4)2
Triple Superphosphate is manufactured by reacting finely ground phosphate rock with Phosphoric Acid. It can also be manufactured using bi-product sludge from the Phosphoric Acid Industry.
Rock phosphate is made to react with concentrated sulphuric acid which produces a mixture of calcium sulphate and calcium-di-hydrogen phosphate. This is super phosphate.Equation Ca3(PO4)2+2H2SO4 => 2CaSO4+Ca(H2PO4)2
super phosphate is a dangerous adulterant
Phosphorus is indispensable for plants.
