Nitric Acid

Nitric Acid (HNO₃) is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid widely used in fertilizer production, explosives (like TNT), metal processing, and chemical manufacturing. It is a colorless to yellowish liquid with strong oxidizing properties and must be handled carefully due to its reactivity and ability to cause severe burns.

Specification:

Chemical Formula     : HNO₃

CAS Number             : 7697-37-2
Appearance               : Colorless to yellowish liquid (yellowing is due to decomposition into  

                                     nitrogen oxides, especially when exposed to light). Concentrated   

                                     solutions can fume in air.
Specific Gravity          : 1.408
HNO3                         : 68.2%
HNO2                         : 2 PPM
Cl                                : 0.01 PPM
Fe                               : 0.2 PPM
Ig-Residue                  : 2.0 PPM
Pb                               : 0.01 PPM
Arsenic                        : 0.01 PPM

Application:

• Preservation and cleaning of stainless steel equipment. 
• Nutrient Source for Biological Treatment. 
• Metal Removal
