Calcium acid phosphate[edit]

I have some baking powder that says it contains calcium acid phosphate, but there's no Wikipedia article about this compound. Badagnani 04:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently Calcium acid phosphate (CAS# 7757-93-9), CaH04P, is not the same as Acid calcium phosphate (CAS# [cited in this Wikipedia article]), Ca(H2PO4, i.e., CaH4P2O8. I am curious, therefore, as to why both of those names appear under alternate names in this article. Simply check it against the chemistry website where this article gets the CAS number.

Continued Typographical Error[edit]

On many food packages, I see this compound misspelled as "Monoclacium Phosphate," with the L and A transposed in the first word. It seems to be such a widespread error that I am having trouble finding packages WITHOUT the error. Anyone have a clue how this could have transpired, and continued propogating? -Ubiquitous42 (talk) 13:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gad, I get 624 ghits for "Monoclacium Phosphate" so you are right, it's quite a well propagated error. Andrewa (talk) 15:29, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Double superphosphate[edit]

I would like us to have an entry (probably a redirect to a section) for double superphosphate, currently a redlink with no incoming links but the phrase appears in two articles, at Phosphate mining in the United States#Uranium and Fertilizer#Single nutrient ("straight") fertilizers.

See https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Encyclopedia_Americana_(1920)/Fertilizers but I'm not sure that qualifies as a suitable source. Andrewa (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We now have triple superphosphate, which is more prevalent than the double superphosphate.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:54, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! Perhaps Double superphosphate should redirect to a section of that article, if it has superseded it? Andrewa (talk) 04:22, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
