Nitric Acid

Product Introduction  

Nitric acid (HNO₃) is a highly corrosive and strong oxidizing acid available in concentrations ranging from 68% to 85%. It is widely used in industrial and laboratory settings for chemical synthesis, analysis, and material processing.  

Product Features  

- High Purity: Low levels of sulfates, chlorides, and heavy metals (e.g., <10 ppm iron, <0.2 ppm lead).  

- Oxidizing Properties: Reacts violently with organic materials, metals, and reducing agents.  

- Corrosive: Causes severe skin burns, eye damage, and respiratory tract irritation.  

- Physical Properties:  

  - Appearance: Clear to yellowish liquid (color intensifies with higher NOx content).  

  - Specific Gravity: 1.41 g/mL (68%), 1.46–1.47 g/mL (>70–85%).  

  - Freezing Point: -35.9°C (68%).  

 Applications  

- Chemical Production: Manufacture of plastics, dyes, pesticides, and explosives.  

- Metal Processing: Etching and purification of metals (e.g., gold, silver).  

- Laboratory Use: Analytical reagent and pH adjustment.  

- Other Uses: Fertilizer production, rocket propellants, and cleaning agents.  

Storage  

- Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sunlight and heat.  

- Container: Use corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., glass, stainless steel, PTFE). Avoid metals like copper or aluminum.  

- Incompatibilities: Keep separate from organic compounds, alcohols, ammonia, and reducing agents.
