Phosphates, also known as monovalent phosphates, are salts and esters of phosphoric acid. They are very important for life and existence on Earth because of their chemical activity. In nature, phosphates are found mainly in minerals, but are also found in plants and animal bodies. As a component of DNA, RNA and ATP, they are a key element of life and also play an important role in the energy metabolism of cells.

In industry, phosphates are used in many sectors. For example, they are part of fertilisers used to improve plant nutrition. They are also found in various washing powders, detergents and disinfectants, where they ensure the removal of dirt and bacteria. In the food industry, phosphates are used as stabilisers, emulsifiers or acidity regulators. They are present in some cheeses, cured meats, sauces, semi-finished products and other foods. Phosphate substances are also part of medicines, where they have a variety of functions - for example, in the treatment of osteoporosis or kidney disease. Last but not least, phosphates are used in environmental technologies to remove impurities from wastewater.
