What is Phosphoric Acid used for?
PHOSPHORIC ACID, H3PO4, is a colorless, odorless, non-volatile inorganic acid of wide application. The main area for application is the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers. This is due to the fact that it is an essential input for growth and thus improves yields in agriculture. Phosphoric acid is one of the ingredients used in the manufacture of superphosphate and triple superphosphate fertilizers.
Phosphoric acid is applied in the food and beverage industries as a flavoring agent, preservative, and acidulant. It is also a line ingredient in soft drinks, particularly in cola-based beverages, where it provides the sour taste and also acts as an antibacterial agent. Phosphoric acid is also used in the manufacture of food-grade phosphates, which are applied as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and leavening agents.
The chemical industry uses phosphoric acid in the synthesis of a wide range of chemicals, from detergents and cleaning agents to water treatment chemicals. It is also used for metal surface treatment, in pickling and electroplating solutions, to remove impurities and thus enhance the surface quality.
Aside from these uses, phosphoric acid is also used in the manufacture of dental cements and as an excipient in many pharmaceutical products. Further, it finds application in laboratories as a reagent for many analytical techniques and chemical reactions.
