    BRIEF DESCRIPTION

    Nitric acid, also known as Nitric acid in English, is a monobasic inorganic strong acid with strong oxidizing and corrosive properties. It is one of the six major inorganic strong acids and is also an important chemical raw material. Its chemical formula is HNO3 and its molecular weight is 63.01. Its aqueous solution is commonly known as nitric acid water or ammonia nitrogen water. In industry, it can be used to make fertilizers, pesticides, explosives, dyes, etc. In organic chemistry, a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid is an important nitrating agent. The hazard symbols are O (Oxidizing agent) and C (Corrosive). The anhydride of nitric acid is nitrogen pentoxide (N2O5).

    TECHNICAL INDICATORS

    Analyze Project Analysis Requirement
    Appearance Appearance Pure nitric acid is a colorless transparent liquid, while concentrated nitric acid is a light yellow liquid (containing nitrogen dioxide). Under normal circumstances, it is a colorless transparent liquid with a suffocating irritating odor.
    density Densities 1.50g/cm 3 (anhydrous)
    Vapor pressure Vapor pressure 23 mmHg (25°C)
    purity(%) Fineness 67.3%

    USE

    1.It is mainly used to manufacture ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate, nitrophosphate fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and other compound fertilizers.
    2.Used in the manufacture of nitro compounds such as tetranitromethane, nitrohexane, 1-nitropropane, and 2,4-dinitrophenoxyethanol.
    3.Used in the synthesis of dye intermediates such as p-nitroanisole, 4,4'-dinitrodiphenyl ether, p-nitrophenol, and 2,5-dichloronitrobenzene.
    4.Nitric acid can be used as a cleaning and rust removal agent for carbon steel and stainless steel equipment, and in the oxidation-reduction treatment of sewage and wastewater. In the biological treatment of sewage, it can be used as a nitrogen source for microbial nutrients.
    5.Used in the manufacture of nitro lacquer and nitro enamel.
    6.Used in the manufacture of nitroacetophenone.
    7.Nitric acid is corrosive to most metals. High concentration nitric acid has a passivating effect on metals. It has good solubility for α-Fe2O3 and magnetic Fe3O4.
    8.Nitric acid is used as an etchant and strong acid cleaning corrosive agent, and can be used in combination with glacial acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc.
    9.Nitric acid is used as an analytical reagent, such as a solvent and an oxidant. It is also used in organic synthesis to prepare various nitro compounds.

    STORAGE CONDITIONS

    1.Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse.
    2.Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃ and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
    3.Keep container sealed.
    4.It should be stored separately from reducing agents, alkalis, alcohols, alkali metals, etc. and should not be mixed.
    5.The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate containment materials.

    PACKAGE

    1. Loading by railway tank cars, of which lead tank cars are used to transport 98% concentrated nitric acid, and dilute nitric acid should be transported or stored in stainless steel or fiberglass reinforced plastic tank cars or storage tanks. A small amount is packaged in acid-resistant ceramic jars or glass bottles, with a net weight of 33~40kg per jar. Concentrated nitric acid is sealed with acid-resistant mud, and dilute nitric acid is sealed with gypsum. Each jar is packed in a solid wooden box lined with fine coal slag or fine slag for transportation. The packaging should have a clear "corrosive article" mark.
    2. Other forms of packaging can be provided according to customer needs.

    CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

    1.Concentrated nitric acid is unstable and will decompose and release nitrogen dioxide when exposed to light or heat. The nitrogen dioxide produced by the decomposition dissolves in nitric acid, making the appearance light yellow. However, dilute nitric acid is relatively stable. 70%~90% nitric acid does not decompose at 0℃ in the dark. Concentrated nitric acid has strong oxidizing properties and a standard redox potential.
    2.It is generally believed that nitric acid can be completely ionized in aqueous solution to produce a large number of hydrogen ions .
    3.Nitric acid can react with alcohols to form corresponding nitrate esters. In terms of mechanism, the esterification reaction involving nitric acid was previously believed to produce carbon cation intermediates (many literatures describe it as Fischer esterification reaction). The esterification reaction of nitric acid is used to produce nitrocellulose.
    4.Nitric acid can turn wool fabrics and animal tissues into bright yellow. Sulfur and phosphorus can be oxidized by nitric acid to produce sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. It can dissolve a variety of metals to form nitrate solutions.
