NITRIC ACID(CAS#52583-42-3) introduce
In the field of industrial production, nitric acid plays a pivotal role. It is a key ingredient in the manufacture of chemical fertilizers, especially ammonium nitrate, which is widely used in agriculture to provide essential nitrogen for crops to thrive and contribute to the world’s food harvest. In the metal processing industry, nitric acid is often used in metal surface treatment, through corrosion, passivation and other processes, to remove impurities and rust on the metal surface, make the metal surface smooth and clean, improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of metal products, and meet the strict requirements of high-end fields such as aerospace and automobile manufacturing for metal parts.
Nitric acid is an indispensable chemical agent in laboratory research. It participates in many chemical reactions, and with its strong oxidation, it can be used for oxidation, nitrification and other experimental operations of substances, helping researchers to synthesize new compounds, exploring the microstructure and property changes of substances, and promoting the continuous development of chemistry.
