8. DAP Process:
@ Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is produced from continuous flow of phosphoric acid (PA) and
ammonia (A) solutions. PA+A ) DAP
E IfA and PA flow rates increase, rate of energy release will accelerate.
@ Too much PA fed to reactor: degraded product but no major reaction hazards.
Sl Too much A fed to the reactor: unreacted A may enter the DAP storage tank. Residual (toxic) A
will be released into the work area.
