Fosforsyre (Phosphoric Acid)

Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4) is a weak acid widely used in various industries and laboratories. Here is a detailed description:

Properties:

• Physical Form: In its pure state, phosphoric acid is a colorless solid. When dissolved in water, it forms an 85% aqueous solution, which is a colorless, odorless, and syrupy liquid.

• Chemical Nature: As a weak acid, phosphoric acid only partially dissociates in water, making it less reactive than stronger acids.

Applications:

• Fertilizers: The primary use of phosphoric acid is in the production of fertilizers, particularly phosphate fertilizers. Approximately 90% of produced phosphoric acid is used for this purpose, as phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants.

• Chemical Industry: Phosphoric acid is also used in the production of phosphates, which are utilized in detergents, food additives, and metal treatment.

• Laboratory Uses: In laboratories, phosphoric acid is employed as a reagent and pH regulator in various chemical reactions and analyses.

Safety:

Although phosphoric acid is considered a weak acid, concentrated solutions can be corrosive and should be handled with care. Protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, is recommended.

Summary:

Phosphoric acid is an essential chemical compound with numerous applications, particularly in fertilizers and chemical manufacturing. Its properties as a weak acid make it useful in various industrial and laboratory environments, but proper safety precautions are necessary to prevent harm.

 

Phosphoric Acid can be delivered in Bulk, IBCs, Drums, and Cans.
