Short Description:

MKP is a chemical with the chemical formula KH2PO4. Deliquescence. It melts into a transparent liquid when heated to 400°C, and solidifies into an opaque glassy potassium metaphosphate after cooling. Stable in the air, soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol. Industrially used as a buffer and culture agent; also used as a bacterial culture agent to synthesize a flavoring agent for sake, a raw material for making potassium metaphosphate, a culture agent, a strengthening agent, a leavening agent, and a fermentation aid for brewing yeast. In agriculture, it is used as a high-efficiency phosphate-potassium compound fertilizer.
