Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium phosphate with the formula CaHPO4 and its dihydrate. The "di" prefix in the common name arises because the formation of the HPO42– anion involves the removal of two protons from phosphoric acid, H3PO4. It is also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrogen phosphate. Dicalcium phosphate is used as a food additive, it is found in some toothpastes as a polishing agent and is a biomaterial.
Dibasic calcium phosphate is produced by the neutralization of calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid, which precipitates the dihydrate as a solid. At 60 °C the anhydrous form is precipitated:
To prevent degradation that would form hydroxyapatite, sodium pyrophosphate or trimagnesium phosphate octahydrate are added when for example, dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate is to be used as a polishing agent in toothpaste.
In a continuous process CaCl2 can be treated with (NH4)2HPO4 to form the dihydrate:
A slurry of the dihydrate is then heated to around 65–70 °C to form anhydrous CaHPO4 as a crystalline precipitate, typically as flat diamondoid crystals, which are suitable for further processing.
Dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate is formed in "brushite" calcium phosphate cements (CPC's), which have medical applications. An example of the overall setting reaction in the formation of "β-TCP/MCPM" (β-tricalcium phosphate/monocalcium phosphate) calcium phosphate cements is:
Three forms of dicalcium phosphate are known:
dihydrate, CaHPO4•2H2O ('DPCD'), the mineral brushite
monohydrate, CaHPO4•H2O ('DCPM')
anhydrous CaHPO4, ('DCPA'), the mineral monetite. Below pH 4.8 the dihydrate and anhydrous forms of dicalcium phosphate are the most stable (insoluble) of the calcium phosphates.
The structure of the anhydrous and dihydrated forms have been determined by X-ray crystallography and the structure of the monohydrate was determined by electron crystallography. The dihydrate (shown in table above) as well as the monohydrate adopt layered structures.

Les phosphates de calcium sont des solides blanchâtres à l'état pur, ils composent la partie minérale de l'os et des dents. On trouve également du phosphate de calcium dans le plasma sanguin et le cytoplasme. Leurs formules sont : phosphate tricalcique : Ca3(PO4)2 ; l'apatite : Ca5(Mg,Fe2+)(PO4)3(OH), plus abondant dans les os et dents ; la whitlockite : Ca9(Mg,Fe2+)(PO4)6(PO3OH). L'enzyme catalysant sa fixation sur l'os est la phosphatase alcaline.
Les numéros E sont des codes numériques pour additifs alimentaires qui ont été évalués pour une utilisation au sein de l'Union européenne qui les a mis en place en 1979. Pour faciliter l'information des consommateurs, l'Union européenne a élaboré depuis 1963 une réglementation sur les additifs alimentaires qui a fait l'objet de plus de 50 directives.

perform DFT calculations within the COSMO framework to study the adsorption properties of the CaHPOx (x = 1,...,4) phosphate family, and of the related HPOx acids, on a paradigmatic anatase (001) surface. Of particular interest is CaHPO4, a precursor of hy ...
The biomineralization of intracellular magnetite in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) is an area of active investigation. Previous work has provided evidence that magnetite biomineralization begins with the formation of an amorphous phosphate-rich ferric hydrox ...
