The invention relates to a preparation method for food grade disodium hydrogen phosphate, which comprises the following steps of: (1) dissolving sodium hydroxide in deionized water with stirring, and filtering for later use; (2) adding deionized water, phosphoric acid and a decolorizer into a reactor in turn, slowly adding the solution in the step (1), stopping adding the materials when the pH value of the system is between 3.5 and 4, keeping the system temperature, and continuing stirring for 40 to 60 minutes; and (3) standing the reaction liquid overnight, adding the reaction liquid into a concentrating kettle, heating the reaction liquid with uniform stirring until boiling, maintaining the boiling of the system, stopping heating until the volume of the reaction liquid is half of the original volume, naturally cooling with stirring until all crystals in the solution are precipitated, filtering and separating the crystals from crystallization mother liquor, naturally drying the obtained colorless crystals in the shade, and packing for sale. In the method, the best reaction proportion of various reactants of phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide is determined by comparing and researching the synthesizing processes of the food grade disodium hydrogen phosphate, so that the reaction yield is improved, and the method is more suitable for industrial production.
