What is Nitric Acid used for?
NITRIC ACID, HNO3, is a strong, very corrosive mineral acid with its main important industrial applications. First, it is applied in significant volumes for the production of fertilizers, mainly ammonium nitrate, critical to agriculture. Nitric acid forms a powerful oxidizing agent and becomes a vital raw material in the synthesis of TNT and nitroglycerin, hence forming a critical material in both the defense and construction industries.
Other than in fertilizers and explosives, nitric acid is finding its application in several chemical industries in the production of a wide array of chemicals, from dyes and plastics to pharmaceutical products. It is also applied in metal treatment for etching and cleaning metals and in the manufacture of nitro compounds used in making special chemicals.
Apart from that, nitric acid is used in laboratories for various analytical procedures and also as a reagent in chemical reactions. In fact, the possibility of its reaction with a wide range of substances makes the compound quite important, both in industrial and research applications. However, because of the corrosive nature of the substance, proper precautions for safety must be followed to avoid injuries and allow safe usage.
