Ammonium orthophosphate products are prepared by reacting ammonia and phosphoric acid together at high speed under vigorous mixing conditions by spraying the reactants through a two-phase, dual coaxial mixer/sprayer and separately controlling the supply and axial outflow rate of the phosphoric acid at 1 to 10 m/sec. and the outflow rate of ammonia at 200 to 1000 m/sec. (N.T.P.). Thorough mixing and a homogeneous product is obtained by directing the outflow spray into a coaxial cylindrical reaction chamber of a specified size with respect to the diameter of the outermost duct of the sprayer/mixer. The product may be granulated on a moving bed of granules and adjusted in respect of the NH3 to H3PO4 content by changing the concentration of the phosphoric acid and/or supplying additional ammonia to the granulation bed.

An apparatus for preparing an ammonium orthophosphate product from ammonia and phosphoric acid comprising, a two-phase spraying means including two coaxial ducts, one positioned inside the other for supplying respectively phosphoric acid and ammonia and mixing the same together, each of said ducts being tapered and narrower at the outflow ends which are substantially coterminous with each other, a cylindrical reaction chamber larger than and coaxial with said two-phase spraying means having at least one discharge outlet at one end thereof, and said two-phase spraying means being positioned at least partially in said chamber, said reaction chamber having a diameter from about 2 to about 4 times the outer diameter of the outflow opening of the outer coaxial duct and said reaction chamber having a length of from about 10 to about 25 times of said diameter, and a plurality of baffle plates arranged successively downstream of said spraying means in said chamber, each two consecutive baffle plates being twisted in opposite directions and the first of said baffle plates positioned a distance of at least 8 times the diameter of said cylindrical reaction chamber from said coterminous end.
