Industrial Applications and BenefitsLiquid Nitric Acid is essential in numerous sectors, especially for synthesizing fertilizers, explosives, and pharmaceuticals. Its strong oxidizing properties make it invaluable for metal processing and etching tasks. Industries rely on its high reactivity and effectiveness for achieving precise chemical reactions, leading to improved processes and higher yields.
Safe Handling and Storage GuidelinesDue to its high corrosiveness and tendency to degrade in heat and light, Nitric Acid must be handled with extreme caution. Storage should be in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas using compatible materials like HDPE containers. Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and keeping it away from organics and combustibles ensures worker safety and product stability.
Available Grades and Packaging SolutionsNitric Acid is supplied in various purities, including technical, commercial, and reagent grades (60-71%, up to 99% for fuming grade). Packaging options include HDPE drums, carboys, and bulk tankers, allowing flexibility for dealers, distributors, and manufacturers throughout India. This ensures easy integration into lab, industrial, and manufacturing workflows.
FAQ's of Liquid Nitric Acid:
Q: How should Liquid Nitric Acid be safely handled and stored?
A: Liquid Nitric Acid must be handled with protective gloves, goggles, and clothing due to its highly corrosive and toxic nature. Store it in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas using only HDPE or other compatible containers, and keep it away from heat, light, organic materials, and combustibles to prevent dangerous reactions and maintain stability.
Q: What are the main industrial uses and benefits of Nitric Acid?
A: Nitric Acid is widely used in producing fertilizers, explosives, pharmaceuticals, and in metal processing and etching. Its strong oxidizing ability provides efficient chemical transformations, contributing to higher productivity, purity in end products, and reliable process outcomes.
Q: When does Nitric Acid decompose, and what are the storage implications?
A: Nitric Acid decomposes when exposed to light or elevated temperatures, releasing toxic vapors and reducing effectiveness. To extend its shelf life up to 12 months, it must be stored away from heat and light in appropriate containers under recommended conditions.
Q: Where can Liquid Nitric Acid be obtained in India, and in what packaging?
A: Liquid Nitric Acid is available in India from multiple suppliers, dealers, manufacturers, and distributors, packaged in HDPE drums, carboys, and bulk tankers. These packaging options suit various industrial and laboratory needs, adhering to IS 264 standards.
Q: What is the process of using Nitric Acid in metal processing or etching?
A: In metal processing and etching, Nitric Acid acts as a strong oxidizer to clean, corrode, or etch metals. Users dilute and apply the acid under controlled conditions, ensuring strict adherence to safety measures due to its highly corrosive and toxic properties.
Q: How is the purity of Nitric Acid determined, and what grades are available?
A: Nitric Acid is offered in technical, commercial, and reagent grades, with purities ranging from 60% to 71% (up to 99% for the fuming grade). The required purity depends on the specific industrial or laboratory application. Analytical testing and compliance with standards like IS 264 ensure quality and reliability.
Q: What precautions should be taken if there is accidental exposure to Nitric Acid?
A: In the event of accidental skin or eye contact, immediately rinse the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention. For inhalation, move the person to fresh air and obtain prompt medical assistance. Due to its corrosive and toxic nature, always work with Nitric Acid in a well-ventilated space with appropriate personal protective equipment.
