Monoammonium phosphate {AU}| market for monoammonium phosphate | AusLCI, U

Unit process Australia v00.00.001

This data have been copied from the ecoinvent version 2.2 database and adapted to Australsian database by substituting input flows from Australasian database for ecoinvent processes where they are available. It has recombined the Monoammonium phosphate as N, and the monoammonium phospate as P2O5 into one inventory per kg of Monoammonium phosphate. Because of the ecoinvent detail included in this data in is subject to the same copyright and distribution restrictions as the ecoivent database published in SimaPro. See system description for more detail on the substitution. Included processes: The unit process inventory takes into account the production of monoammonium phosphate from ammonia and phosphoric acid. Transports of raw materials and intermediate products to the fertiliser plant as well as the transport of the fertiliser product from the factory to the regional department store were included. Production and waste treatment of catalysts, coating and packaging of the final fertiliser products were not included. Infrastructure was included by means of a proxy module. Remark: Refers to 1 kg monoammonium phosphate with a N-content of 11.0% and a P2O5-content of 52.0%. The multioutput-process 'monoammonium phosphate, at regional storehouse' delivers the co-products 'monoammonium phosphate, as N, at regional storehouse' and 'monoammonium phosphate, as P2O5, at regional storehouse has been recombined into this one process. CAS number: 007722-76-1; Formula: NH4H2PO4; Geography: According to the reference of this inventory, the European average is derived from mean values of several fertiliser plants within Europe. The production of raw materials and/or intermediates outside Europe was taken into account by considering the production technology in the respective country and the relative import shares. Technology: Production inventory was derived from detailed literature studies and specifications from the manufacturer, relevant for the European production. Transport specifications of the fertiliser product to the regional department store, which were not included in the reference used for this inventory, were complemented by data given in Patyk & Reinhardt (1997). Time period: Year when the principal reference used for this inventory was published.

Sampling procedure

Sampling procedure: Values given in the reference originate from manufacturers and/or other data sources which in turn refer to the real situation and hence are largely secured. However, the emissions of N and P into the water may be somewhat uncertain. When no information on the speciation of N- and P-emissions was given in the reference, the most likely speciation based on expert's opinion is presented.
