Nitric Acid
Application | ||
|---|---|---|
By far the principal use of nitric acid (80%) is in the manufacture of fertilizers. Of this 96% is used to make ammonium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate. A relatively small amount of ammonium nitrate is used to make explosives. Some nitric acid is used to make intermediates in the polymer industry, notably in the manufacture of hexanedioic acid (adipic acid) to make polyamides and TDI (toluene diisocyanate or methylbenzene diisocyanate) and dinitrobenzene two of a range of reagents used to make polyurethanes. Nitrobenzene is used to make aniline which is a key reagent for making dyes. Nitric acid (HNO3) is an extremely important chemical used in the manufacture of fertilizers and explosives |
Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Nitric Acid (HNO3) is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow inorganic acid. It is a strong monobasic acid and a powerful oxidizing agent. Nitric acid is a highly corrosive mineral acid. The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to decomposition into oxides of nitrogen and water. Most commercial available nitric acid has a concentration of 68% in water. |
