sulfate is a considerable waste produce of this process. Ca3 (PO4)2 + 2H2SO4 → Ca (H2PO4)2 + 2CaSO4Superphosphate used world wide by as a fertilizer the farming industry and gardeners. It increases plant production by as much as 106% as long as the plants are getting the required amount of water for normal plant growth. Super phosphate does little if nothing if there is no rain or agitation so farms living in low rain fall areas tend to use other non water depended fertilizer. It was really bought to the
