(EN) A method for the production of a mono-calcium phosphate product includes the step of rapidly dispersing unslaked lime in an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid in a mixing zone to form a generally homogeneous reaction mixture and allowing reaction between the unslaked lime and the acid in the reaction mixture to proceed until the reaction mixture reaches a predetermined temperature. The reaction mixture is then rapidly transferred to a reaction zone when it has reaced the predetermined temperature. The reaction is then allowed to proceed essentially to completion in the reaction zone to form the mono-calcium phosphate product and the product is isolated.
